Supplier EveryMatrix has been awarded the World Lottery Association (WLA) Safer Gambling certification as the first iGaming supplier to do so.
To achieve the certification, EveryMatrix submitted to a strict audit process, that included providing evidence that the company adhered to WLA’s guiding principles.
These seven guiding principles include ensuring that members develop safe gambling practices, work with stakeholders to promote responsible gaming and defend the public order within their jurisdiction, among others.
Ebbe Groes, EveryMatrix CEO, said: “The WLA are pioneers in safer gambling certification and we’re delighted they have recognised our work, commitments and pledges to both uphold and drive forward safer gambling best practice across everything we do.
“We entered this process because we firmly believe that to create and maintain a sustainable and successful industry we must ensure that all players are protected and given the right options to play safely and responsibly, and all our customers are informed of any risks and the actions needed to mitigate those risks.
“I’m personally committed to this, believe this is the way forward for both iLottery and iGaming and hope many others join us.”
EveryMatrix has an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) policy that caters to all employees across 12 international offices.
The company will join the list of other certified members, which includes Scientific Games, Intralot and IGT.
Melissa Azam, WLA CSR Senior Manager, said: “The WLA is pleased to officially recognise EveryMatrix’s adherence to the WLA Responsible Gaming Guidelines for suppliers highlighting their commitment to ensuring player protection and safer gambling is at the core of both their own and their customers’ operations.”
A few weeks ago, EveryMatrix and Matchbook announced a new partnership for the UK casino brand.
