WestLotto deploys Neccton’s responsible gaming, anti-money laundering and fraud detection tools to boost player behaviour insights

OpenBet, a leading content, platform and service provider to the gambling industry, has announced a partnership with German lottery operator, WestLotto, to supply Neccton’s gambling compliance products.

A World Lottery Association (WLA) member, WestLotto was first launched in 1955 and prides itself on sustainability through both commercial success and a commitment to responsible gaming, making Neccton a well-suited partner.

After developing a long-standing reputation as a top-tier provider among lotteries worldwide, this latest agreement marks the 18^th lottery operator to have partnered with OpenBet. The new agreement follows OpenBet’s announcement that it had been accepted as a Gold Contributor with the WLA last year and highlights Neccton’s position as a trusted partner to lotteries worldwide.

Michael Auer, Managing Director of Neccton at OpenBet, commented: “Our new partnership with WestLotto is hugely exciting and we are delighted to foster this significant relationship with Germany’s largest lottery provider.”

“This is a significant move for us as it makes Neccton the largest responsible gaming provider in this market. We look forward to continuing our growth and enjoying a successful working relationship with WestLotto.”
