Which statement is true about the World Lottery Association's scope?

• A. It governs all forms of gambling globally
• B. It represents state-authorized lotteries and supports their collective interests
• C. It operates a centralized global lottery platform
• D. It licenses new lotteries

Answer: (B)

The World Lottery Association’s scope is about representing state-authorized lotteries and supporting their collective interests. It acts as a global trade association for national lotteries and their suppliers, helping with shared standards, integrity, responsible gaming, and collaboration across jurisdictions. It is not a regulator, does not run a centralized global lottery platform, and does not license new lotteries. Licensing and regulatory authority stay with governments and national regulators, while the WLA focuses on coordination, advocacy, and best-practice guidance for its member organizations.
