Associate Members (Lottery and Betting Suppliers)

WLA Associate Members are suppliers or prospective suppliers of goods or services to the lottery and/or sports betting industries. Current associate members include suppliers of online and off-line systems, terminals, printers, video lottery terminals, special papers, vending machines, dispensers and drawing machines, telecommunication organizations, ticket printers, game designers, marketing and advertising specialists, consultants, auditors and trade magazines.

For WLA Associate Members, the application for associate membership needs to be endorsed by at least two Regular Members (lottery operators) and approved by the Executive Committee. Each letter of endorsement will have to be signed by the lottery member’s CEO.

An application must be received a minimum 25 business days before the Executive Committee meeting in order to be considered at the next meeting. This will allow the WLA Business Office to verify certain aspects of the application (internet, Regional Association comments etc.) and inform the Executive Committee members of the results so that their comments, if any, can be received before the Executive Committee documents are sent out.
