Michigan Lottery Achieves iCAP Re-certification for Responsible Online Gaming Practices
The Michigan Lottery has received re-certification for its commitment to responsible gaming after completing the Internet Responsible Gambling Compliance Assessment Program (iCAP) through the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG).
The Lottery first earned iCAP certification in October 2015 and was the first lottery in the United States to achieve this certification.
“We are incredibly proud to have once again received certification for our commitment to responsible gaming through the iCAP program, underscoring the Lottery’s dedication to player safety and well-being. We will continue to prioritize responsible gaming practices and provide Michiganders with the resources and support they need to play responsibly,” said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli.
Developed by the NCPG, iCAP is the first and only online responsible gaming assessment program in the US. The NCPG evaluated the Lottery’s compliance with Internet Responsible Gaming (IRG) standards developed based on best practices from jurisdictions around the world. IRG standards are the highest standards for online responsible gaming in the nation. The nine areas of focus for the NCPG iCAP certification are:
• Corporate policy and commitment to responsible gaming
• Staff training
• Information available to players through com, and player account features to assist players in informed decision making
• Assisting players who indicate they are in distress or experiencing problems
• Self-exclusion and player-initiated restrictions on online play
• Advertising and promotion
• Game and website features that assist with gambling responsibly
• Research based on the transparency of play data
• Payment controls and limits
• iCAP re-certification provides Lottery players assurance that MichiganLottery.com is trustworthy and has adopted the best standards of player protection.
The NCPG, a non-profit organization founded in 1972, leads state and national stakeholders in the development of comprehensive policy and programs for all those affected by problem gambling.
Michigan Lottery players have a chance to win up to $500,000 instantly playing online. Players also may win prizes ranging from $1 up to multi-million dollar jackpots playing Powerball, Mega Millions, Lucky for Life, Lotto 47, and Fantasy 5 online. Through its online platform, the Lottery offers players more than 200 different games with plays ranging in price from .05 cents to $20.

The Danish Gambling Authority has released the annual report describing the authority’s work with illegal gambling. In the 2024 report, you can read more about a new collaboration with the streaming platform Twitch, and the authority’s focus on a betting trend involving the video game currency “Robux”.
Every year, the Danish Gambling Authority publishes a report explaining the rules for when gambling is legal in Denmark, and the report also reviews the initiatives implemented in the past year to combat illegal gambling.
One of the initiatives launched in 2024 is a collaboration between the Danish Gambling Authority and the streaming platform Twitch, which allows the authority to report illegal gambling content on the platform in the same way as it already does today with Apple, Facebook and Google. This will strengthen the Danish Gambling Authority’s work to prevent Danish users from being exposed to illegal content on the platform.
Another initiative launched last year is an inspection of the “Robux” betting phenomenon. “Robux” betting refers to the illegal offering of gambling where the virtual currency Robux from the computer game Roblox is used as either a deposit or prize.
