Academy

Supporting the learning process among member lotteries and suppliers is one of the WLA’s key objectives. Each year, and working in cooperation with the regional lottery associations, the WLA offers a varied program of seminars and related events in various member countries around the globe.

Lottery 101 provides participants with a broad overview of lottery operations, compares the various lottery business models, discusses lottery practices from around the globe, and examines all aspects of the regulatory and competitive environment in which lotteries operate and compete worldwide.

The scholarship program was launched in 2013 to encourage lottery professionals from around the world to participate as speakers at WLA seminars and to offer selected lottery staff a chance to take part in educational events that they would probably not be able to attend without WLA support.
