The year 2018 in review
In 2018, the WLA continued to act as the global standard-bearer for the state-regulated gaming industry, supporting state-sanctioned lotteries in their august mission of raising funds for good causes. The association vigorously promoted the remarkable contributions to society made by its members, while simultaneously defending the lottery industry's core values of integrity, security, fair play, and responsible gaming. These developments were reflected in the WLA's activities, such as publicizing and promoting the USD 82.3 billion WLA members returned to society in 2018 and supporting member lotteries and other relevant stakeholders in the fight against illegal gaming, synthetic lotteries, and match-fixing in sport.
