This policy sets out how we aim to achieve a safe instant gaming environment with our retail distributers and how strict responsibility guidelines aid the development of CI Lottery games so that they are safe to play. The policy aims to ensure that we have lots of people playing a little, rather than a few people playing a lot.

SGI has been awarded the highest level of accreditation by the WLA Responsible Gaming Framework (Level 4) which recognises its commitment to continuous improvement in Consumer Protection.

Support and Treatment for Problem Gamblers
We continue to strive to ensure that all consumers requiring treatment are aware of the options available to them by raising awareness through our communications channels, helpline colleagues (GamCare) and on our products. We engage with organisations addressing problem gambling in the UK through GamCare.
