Membership in the World Lottery Association primarily includes which entities?

• A. Racing and sports betting companies
• B. Private online gaming platforms
• C. Regional sports organizations
• D. State-authorized lotteries and their regulators

Answer: (D)

Membership in the World Lottery Association centers on official government‑authorized lotteries and the regulators that oversee them. The association exists to support public lotteries by sharing standards, security practices, governance, and responsible‑gaming practices, so its members are the lotteries themselves and the regulatory bodies that supervise them. This makes state‑authorized lotteries and their regulators the best fit. Racing and sports betting companies, private online gaming platforms, and regional sports organizations operate outside the public lottery system and are typically connected to different industries or trade groups, not the WLA.
