IGT, a global leader in gaming technology, recently announced the renewal of its responsible gaming certification for two key divisions: Global Gaming and PlayDigital. The certification comes from the Global Gambling Guidance Group (G4), an organization dedicated to minimizing the impact of problem gambling through a worldwide accreditation and certification program.
Certification Renewal and Industry Commitment
To maintain the certifications, IGT underwent an independent assessment of its industry standards. This process ensured that its divisions adhered to the player protection standards set by G4. The audit covered various aspects, including responsible gambling code of conduct, corporate standards, operational code of practice, training, player protection tools, staff and responsible gambling, staff and problem gambling, and player protection framework.
Continuous Recognition and Expansion
IGT's gaming operations initially received certification in 2017, followed by its digital solutions in 2019. In 2022, the company extended its responsible gaming accreditation to its sports betting business. This continuous recognition showcases IGT's unwavering commitment to responsible gambling and adherence to industry standards.
Endorsement from G4
Pieter Remmers, Chairman of G4, commended IGT for its dedication to responsible gambling and industry leadership. G4 is pleased to recognize IGT's efforts by granting accreditation to its Global Gaming and PlayDigital operations once again. The endorsement highlights IGT's pivotal role in maintaining the integrity of the global gaming industry.
IGT's Ongoing Commitment
Wendy Montgomery, IGT's Senior Vice President of Marketing, Communications, and Sustainability, emphasized that responsible gaming is integral to IGT's business. The accreditation reaffirms the company's ongoing efforts to promote healthy and sustainable gambling practices. Montgomery highlighted IGT's status as the first supplier to earn G4 accreditation for gaming and digital responsible gaming excellence, as well as the first supplier in the US to secure sports betting accreditation.
Future Commitment and Positive Play
IGT expressed its dedication to upholding the highest responsible gaming standards for itself and its partners. Wendy Montgomery reaffirmed the company's commitment to promoting positive play for all. The continuous efforts reflect IGT's pledge to ensuring a responsible and sustainable gaming environment globally.
