Three stars out of three. Lottomatica has achieved the legality rating from AGCM, the Italian Competition Authority with the maximum score possible.
This highly positive evaluation stems from the company's certification of meeting various requirements set by the Antitrust Authority for achieving the three-star rating. Firstly, this includes adherence to protocols or agreements focused on preventing and combating organized crime infiltrations in the legal economy, endorsed by the Ministry of the Interior or Prefectures in collaboration with business and industry associations. In this regard, the company's Board of Directors decided, in February 2023, to join the ethical code of Confcommercio and its framework agreement for legality and security, concluded with the Ministry of the Interior.
Furthermore, the Antitrust Authority has recognized Lottomatica for using payment traceability systems even for amounts lower than those mandated by law. Additionally, Lottomatica has been commended for adopting an organizational model for preventing and combating corruption, along with a dedicated structure, the Internal Audit & GRC - Anti-Bribery & Corruption department, responsible for ensuring compliance with legal provisions applicable to companies outlined in Legislative Decree No. 231 of 2001 on the administrative liability of entities and companies. In this context, it's noteworthy that Lottomatica has obtained various certifications, such as the one prescribed by the UNI ISO 37001 standard for anti-corruption management systems.
The achievement of the maximum AGCM rating confirms Lottomatica's commitment to combating illegality, aligning with its role as a state concessionaire in the public gaming sector. In this sense, legality – understood as the protection of citizens, territorial oversight, and responsibility – serves as the fundamental compass guiding all decisions of the group.
