Play for society

The WLA global lottery and sports betting members work hard to raise funds to support good causes in the areas of sports, social welfare, culture, education, and the environment. This is a key criterion for WLA membership, and a common thread that unites all of our member organizations.

Our Play for Society project was inaugurated during WLS 2022. The display was established, in order to give our members the opportunity to showcase the important work they do, during the landmark WLS event, which gathers the entire international lottery and sports betting industry under one roof every two years.

The display highlighted many worthy causes funded by our member lotteries in our five regional zones including Africe, Asia/The Pacific, Europe/The Middle East, Latin America, North America/The Caribbean. It also shone a spotlight on lottery beneficiaries, and reinforced the creativity that can be used to raise awareness about the benefits we bring to our communities around the world.
