INTRALOT’s subsidiary in Poland, Totolotek S.A., the longest operating company in Poland’s betting market, has received accreditation in responsible gaming by the European Lotteries Association (EL).
The certification is a result of coordinated efforts and a reward to effective implementation of INTRALOT Group’s industry standards and CSR framework, implemented in subsidiaries of the Group worldwide. EL Responsible Gaming certification corresponds to the planning and implementation of the international responsible gaming framework defined by the EL. The certification followed the audit by an international audit firm, which concluded on Totolotek’s alignment with the requirements for responsible gaming certification along the 11 programs/areas of the European Lotteries standard.
Adam Lamentowicz, President of the Board of Totolotek, stated: “We are very pleased with the achievement of this top certification, as it rewards our effort and it has great impact on the competitive advantage of our Group globally. We are committed to the advancement of responsible gaming as it furthers issues of sustainability in the gaming sector, enabling the creation of shared value for our customers and for society.”
Friedrich Stickler, President of European Lotteries, added: “I am very pleased that Totolotek achieved the certification. I know that it represents a lot of work, energy, and enthusiasm on the part of Totolotek Management, the Responsible Gaming Department, and all the collaborators, who I am convinced are very proud of their achievement”.
Further to the implementation of the responsible gaming program, as recognised by the certification, Totolotek has said it will continue to develop and continuously improve the European Lotteries framework. The official award ceremony will be held during EL’s Congress in Oslo next June.
The European Lotteries Association (EL) is the leading member-based organization whose mission is to advance the interests of state-licensed lotteries and the gaming industry.
