WLA acts as an open forum for its members and provides a range of specialized services to help them grow their businesses.

The WLA Academy: An extensive series of specialized seminars is held every year in partnership with the world’s five regional lottery associations. These workshops are free for WLA member lotteries and offer a range of expert guidance on key industry topics, from marketing to responsible gaming.
