Lottotech Highlights Youth Protection Strategy at World Lottery Summit 2026

Lottotech has presented its responsible gaming approach for young adults at the World Lottery Summit 2026 in Sydney, Australia, highlighting the importance of player protection, age verification and trust in the lottery industry.

The company participated in a session titled “Responsible Gaming – Young Adults”, alongside representatives from the Hoosier Lottery, Responsible Gambling Council, Loto Honduras and OpenBet.

Representing Lottotech, Deputy Chief Executive Officer Shaun Kim presented the company’s approach, titled “Playing the Long Game”, which is built around three principles: staying relevant, respecting players’ choices and building trust.

During the session, Lottotech emphasized that young adults should be understood as a generation requiring appropriate engagement and protection, rather than treated simply as a commercial target.

The company outlined several measures supporting this approach, including prohibiting sales to individuals under 18, displaying regular age-verification reminders on terminals to help retailers check players’ ages, and providing training across its retail network.

“Responsible gaming is not a separate project for us. It guides the design of our games, the training of our retailers, and our communication with players,” the company stated.

Lottotech also highlighted its commitment to adapting how it communicates its games while maintaining responsible marketing practices and respecting consumer choices.

The company thanked the World Lottery Association (WLA) for the opportunity to share its experience and contribute to discussions on responsible gaming and the protection of young adults.
