LONDON – November 04, 2026 -- Brightstar Lottery PLC (NYSE: BRSL) has renewed its Internet Compliance Assessment Program (iCAP) Ready accreditation for its iLottery operations from the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG), the first renewal since the company became a pure play lottery business.
Third-party assessment tested Brightstar's responsible gaming framework
A third party performed an overall compliance assessment on behalf of NCPG. It checked whether Brightstar's responsible gaming framework met iCAP Ready's objective of protecting consumers and ensuring safer gambling practices for players, beginning with the supplier.
iCAP Ready is a U.S. accreditation program for gaming suppliers. It is based on the original iCAP, which was designed for gaming operators, and draws on best practices from the Internet Responsible Gambling Standards. Suppliers must implement and maintain responsible gambling policies, provide effective staff training and offer comprehensive player support tools.
Executive frames renewal as first since pure play transition
Wendy Montgomery, Brightstar Senior Vice President Branding, Communications and Sustainability, called the accreditation "a testament to Brightstar's comprehensive responsible gaming processes and practices." She said the renewal is especially meaningful as the company's first as a pure play lottery business.
Brightstar's U.S. and global footprint raises the stakes for compliance
Brightstar serves nearly 90 lottery customers on six continents and has approximately 6,000 employees. It is the primary technology provider to 26 of the 46 lottery jurisdictions in the U.S. and to eight of the world's 10 largest lotteries with central systems.
Brightstar was the first gaming industry supplier to receive the iCAP Ready accreditation, in 2024.
