In our latest issue, we examine the theme of Combatting illegal gaming and betting, and the work we do at WLA to help lead this fight on a global scale.
Our President, Andreas Kötter, gives an interview on the role the Combatting Illegal Lotteries and Betting Committee (CILBC), within the new WLA strategy, and elaborates on what he hopes to achieve in his first year heading up our organization.
During the General Assembly in Paris last year, changes were made to two of our committees. We caught up with the new Chair of the CILBC, Robert Chvátal, who discusses the Committee’s work, key projects, and his vision for the year ahead.
Equally, we spoke with the new Security and Risk Management Committee (SRMC) Chair, Alessandro Paciucci, who expands on the great efforts undertaken to support our members with tools and useful materials that assist them in providing secure products, services and operations.
Staying on the topic of risk management, we discover more about member Lotto New Zealand’s approach and development of its artificial intelligence risk management strategy across the organization.
We also feature an interesting story from our member La Banca, the Uruguay national lottery, which explains how recognizing an important trend among sports betting customers, led to the development of an innovative and highly successful product.
As always, our Platinum Contributors keep us updated on latest developments, and innovative ways that they continue to support our industry through the provision of cutting-edge offerings that consider the varied needs of our members, and their customers.
We hope you enjoy reading this issue.
