The 10th anniversary edition of the WLA Global Lottery Data Compendium (GLDC) is now available and can be accessed via the member section of the WLA website (sign-in required). This celebratory edition presents FY 2022 and FY 2021 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), including sales, Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR), and money for good causes, for 144 of 153 WLA member lotteries and sports betting operators, or 94.1% of the regular membership.
