Lottery achieves top certification for responsible gaming

December 20, 2017 Posted by NC Lottery at 3:54 PM

Our commitment to build responsible gaming best practices into all operations has helped us achieve the highest level of responsible gaming certification recognized internationally.  This makes us only the fourth – and youngest – U.S. lottery to reach the top level in the world program.

If you’re asking, ‘Why does that matter?’ You’ve come to the right place. We’ve broken down exactly what this achievement means for the lottery, our players, and our state.

What is the top certification?

·        It is the Level 4 accreditation from the World Lottery Association, the global authority on the lottery business.

·        Highest level of responsible gaming certification recognized internationally, outlining lotteries’ level of commitment to corporate social responsibility and responsible gaming.

·        Consists of four levels of achievement. The more advanced the responsible gaming program, the higher the level of achievement. N.C. has been awarded the highest level.

·        Means the lottery has implemented responsible gambling practices into its day-to-day operations and is committed to continuous improvement of them.

What does this mean for North Carolina?

The lottery is upholding its mission to responsibly grow sales and increase return to education programs identified by the legislature.

What does this mean for players?

The lottery is fully committed to facilitating responsible play, empowering the public about responsible gaming, and protecting the interests of those who play our games.

We believe the more people know, the more fun they will have playing our games. If you want to learn more about the Level 4 achievement, check out the official press release here.

Have a great Wednesday, folks.

I would like to know if our state lottery can add the fire ball play to our pick3 and pick4 games.....myself and a few other players would love to have that game option and it will make it more fun and attractive....a few other states have it. NC Lottery
Robert-Thanks for the suggestion. The people who make the decisions about what games we offer do read these blogs to get player feedback.

Agree with Jim B. It's a feel good thing for NCEL. You post common sense stuff on gambling and give $1M to the DHS annually so they can say that have a program for "problem" gamblers and give away $5K mini-grants to colleges to tell the kiddies not to gamble. Here's your responsible gaming lesson. If you can't pay your rent, feed your self or your kids, pay your bills, refuse to work or receive ANY welfare or tax payer funds then don't gamble, period. Now where's my award?

My mobile app wants scan ticket NC Lottery
Hi John- The first thing you'll want to do is make sure only one barcode is showing in the image finder. It won't scan if more than one is. If you're still having problems, you can call 1-855-767-1863 and someone should be able to help you.

Nobody really cares about that nonsense! We only care about not losing our hind ends playing these lousy odds while you tout your effectiveness in fleecing the public in the name of education. Give us a break and produce more winning tickets. Thank you and have a wonderful Christmas.
