Which statement is most accurate about WLA activities?

• A. Directly operates lotteries in member countries
• B. Sets individual country lottery regulations
• C. Promotes best practices and codes of practice for lotteries
• D. Issues gambling licenses to operators

Answer: (C)

WLA operates as an international industry body that promotes high standards for lotteries by creating and promoting codes of practice and best-practice guidelines. These codes help member lotteries ensure integrity, security, responsible gaming, and proper governance across operations, risk management, anti-fraud measures, data protection, and responsible advertising. The organization does not directly operate lotteries in member countries, nor does it set country-specific regulations, and licensing is handled by government or regulatory authorities, not by WLA.
