Impressive milestone for adesso’s lottery segment: after passing the recent WLA security audit, the IT service provider is now certified in accordance with the highly respected Security Control Standard 2020 (WLA-SCS:2020) of the World Lottery Association (WLA). adesso is one of the first software manufacturers to meet this essential security standard for the industry and to offer this certification to its customers. ​

adesso has been supporting lottery companies around the world for over two decades and is very familiar with the challenges digitalization poses for the gaming market. The WLA-SCS:2020 (Level 2) standard of the World Lottery Association is the seal of quality for outstanding information, security and integrity measures in the industry. Level 2 is the highest level of certification and comprises a demanding set of criteria that must be fulfilled not only by lottery and sports betting operators in their international business, but also by their technology service providers and suppliers if they want to remain competitive.

During the certification audit, adesso’s processes as an IT service provider to the industry underwent a comprehensive, smooth assessment and met the requirements for WLA-SCS:2020, Level 2, without any reservations.

The WLA standard is a key benchmark of security, risk management and integrity for the sector. It describes a security management process that is aligned both with international standards and with a common security baseline that represents good practice for lottery and sports betting operators. The standard comprises a large number of controls and requirements for lottery and sports betting operators and their suppliers.

Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Striemer, Senior Vice President Lottery at adesso, views the certification as a way of building trust: “Trust is a vital currency in an industry where lotteries and sports betting operators handle vast sums of the public’s money. Excellence in processes and solutions is the foundation for building trusting relationships with industry stakeholders, national supervisory authorities, and especially players. As a long-standing partner to the sector, adesso is naturally one of the first movers and delighted to receive this certification.”

In the past two decades, adesso has successfully implemented numerous projects at German and international companies in the gaming industry, giving it both a deep knowledge of the sector and a unique position on the market. The IT service provider offers lottery companies organization development along the entire value chain, from strategy consulting and the development of suitable business models in project and process management, through to the roll-out of proven IT solutions. Only last year, adesso caught the industry’s attention with compelling innovations such as LotteryForce, the modular iGaming platform of the future, and adessoDraws, a revolutionary blockchain-based electronic drawing system for digital lotteries.

adesso is a member of the World Lottery Association (WLA), which represents the interests of some 140 state lottery companies worldwide and organizes the World Lottery Summit, as well as of the European Lotteries (EL) and the Asian-Pacific Lottery Association (APLA).

The Swedish gambling regulator, Spelinspektionen, has fined Videoslots SEK12m (£937,016) for failing to help customers better manage their gambling behaviour when it had reason to do so.

The regulator said that the company did not take sufficiently effective measures to intervene on excessive gaming and “did not act promptly enough.”

The fine, along with a formal warning, comes after a Spelinspektionen investigation into Videoslots’ customer activity in spring last year. The regulator found that the company breached its duty of care obligations.

Twelve customers’ gaming behaviour was analysed, with the regulator concluding that their gambling patterns, deposit behaviours and “significant losses” were among the “multiple indicators” that the customers engaged in excessive gaming.

A number of the 12 customers returned to Videoslots’ platform to play “multiple times” during the day or play “continuously for many hours.”

The regulator said all of the customers had “very high deposit limits.” Three had limits of SEK1m (£78,164), one had a limit of SEK4.5m (£351,912) and another player’s limit was SEK300m (£23.5m).

All customers deposited “large amounts” during the review period, Spelinspektionen said, including one who deposited SEK1.8m (£140,785) and another who deposited SEK1.3m (£101,721).

“Several customers exhibited a deposit pattern where withdrawn amounts were deposited again shortly after being withdrawn,” the regulator said.

“For several customers, there were also a large number of deposits in a short period. Some customers regularly made multiple deposits per gambling day… and one customer had days with up to 28 deposits.”

“In light of the above, Spelinspektionen assesses that all the customers have engaged in excessive gambling during the review period,” the regulator concluded.

“The company has pointed out that individual indicators, on their own, may not necessarily be signs of excessive gambling. According to Spelinspektionen, all the above-mentioned indicators are signs of excessive gambling, and the overall assessment of all indicators forms the basis for the conclusion.”
