IGT will continue upholding itself and our partners to the highest responsible gaming standards as we promote positive play for all.”
“IGT has showcased its responsible gaming commitment and industry leadership year after year, and G4 is pleased to recognize the company’s Global Gaming and PlayDigital operations with accreditation again,” said Pieter Remmers, Chairman of the G4 Board of Directors. “We applaud IGT’s critical responsible gaming efforts and appreciate all that the Company does to maintain the integrity of gaming globally.”
