IGT Achieves Industry First with iCAP Ready Certification

International Game Technology (IGT) has become the first gambling industry supplier to receive the prestigious "Internet Compliance Assessment Program (iCAP) Ready" certification from the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG).

The program, designed for companies operating in the US gaming market, evaluates adherence to Internet Responsible Gambling Standards, demonstrating a company’s commitment to responsible practices.

As part of the assessment, IGT’s iLottery operations were rigorously tested, including its implementation of responsible gambling policies, staff training effectiveness, and the provision of comprehensive support tools for players.

Wendy Montgomery, IGT's SVP of Marketing, Communications, and Sustainability, stated:

"Being the first gaming industry supplier to achieve the iCAP Ready certification for our iLottery business is a testament to IGT's comprehensive responsible gaming processes and practices implemented throughout the organization, and our dedication to protecting our employees, customers, and players worldwide. With Advancing Responsibility as a core pillar of IGT's Sustainable Play program, we aim to meet and exceed responsible gaming standards as a trusted supplier to ensure that our customers are provided with the necessary tools to keep their players safe and promote positive play."

Keith Whyte, Executive Director of NCPG, commended IGT on this milestone, saying:

"We applaud IGT for leading the way as the first recipient of the iCAP Ready accreditation. This achievement showcases IGT's leadership and demonstrates that suppliers play a crucial role in ensuring player protections and promoting responsible play."
