IGT has achieved responsible gaming accreditation by the Global Gambling Guidance Group (G4) for its IGT PlayDigital operations.

IGT received G4 responsible gaming certification in 2017 for its land-based casino segment and this latest accreditation makes the firm the first gaming supplier to be certified by G4 for both its digital and gaming segments.

G4 aims to minimise the impact of problem gambling by promoting a worldwide accreditation program for gaming industry operators and suppliers. The G4 certification reinforces IGT's position as a responsible vendor across business segments and demonstrates the effectiveness of the responsible gaming technology it provides to gaming operators worldwide.

Wendy Montgomery, IGT senior vice president, global brand, marketing and communications, said: "IGT's gaming solutions are utilised by gaming operators throughout the world, making it our responsibility to ensure that we develop and deliver universal technologies and services to assist our customers with protecting their players.

"We prioritize innovation and are pleased that our gaming solutions continue to be recognized for responsible gaming excellence. Extending IGT's accolades with G4 to include IGT PlayDigital reinforces our company-wide leadership and commitment to this important topic."
