The Consórcio Mineira da Sorte Loterias (CMSL), operator of exclusive products “Raspadinha” and “Trem das 11” under the Minas Gerais State Lottery, has been awarded Level 3 Responsible Gaming certification by the World Lottery Association (WLA).
The milestone positions CMSL among a limited group of certified operators in Brazil under the WLA framework.
According to the company, the certification reflects its internal governance model, compliance procedures and commitment to structured commercial operations.
“We remain proud of the path we are forging – together, learning, evolving, and celebrating each step,” stated CMSL.
CMSL is formed by international lottery suppliers IGT and Scientific Games alongside Brazilian partner SAGA BGI, combining global lottery expertise with local market operations.
The WLA Responsible Gaming Framework establishes progressive certification levels based on the implementation of policies, staff training, player protection mechanisms and continuous improvement practices.
Level 3 certification indicates that responsible gaming principles are embedded within organizational processes and are subject to ongoing monitoring and evaluation.
CMSL stated that the recognition reinforces its long-term operational model and team-based culture, framing the achievement as the result of collective internal efforts.
The consortium operates instant ticket and draw-based games in Minas Gerais and has invested in marketing and retail distribution structures to expand its footprint in the state.
