Michigan Lottery Earns Re-Certification for Responsible Gaming

The Michigan Lottery has once again secured iCAP re-certification from the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG)

A Leader in Responsible Play

First certified in 2015, the Michigan Lottery became the first in the U.S. to achieve this distinction. Now, nearly a decade later, it remains a leader in safe, responsible gaming. By earning this re-certification, the Lottery reinforces its dedication to player well-being.

“We are incredibly proud to have once again received certification for our commitment to responsible gaming through the iCAP program, underscoring the Lottery’s dedication to player safety and well-being,” said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. “We will continue to prioritize responsible gaming practices and provide Michiganders with the resources and support they need to play responsibly.”

What Sets iCAP Apart?

The Internet Responsible Gambling Compliance Assessment Program (iCAP) is the only certification of its kind in the U.S. It evaluates gaming operators based on strict responsible gaming standards, ensuring they provide players with safe and transparent experiences.

To qualify, the Michigan Lottery had to meet high benchmarks in several key areas, including:

  • Corporate responsibility policies that promote safe play
  • Employee training to identify and support at-risk players
  • Player tools for managing spending and time limits
  • Self-exclusion programs for those needing a break
  • Advertising standards that prevent misleading promotions
  • Game design features that encourage informed decisions
  • Payment controls to help players set financial limits

By passing this rigorous evaluation, MichiganLottery.com continues to provide a secure gaming environment for its players.

Balancing Big Wins with Player Safety

While responsible gaming remains a priority, the Lottery also keeps the excitement alive with huge prize opportunities. Players can win up to $500,000 instantly online or go for multi-million dollar jackpots in Powerball, Mega Millions, and other draw games. With over 200 different games available online, ranging from $0.05 to $20 per play, there’s something for everyone.

The NCPG, founded in 1972, leads efforts to prevent problem gambling and support those affected. By following industry best practices, the Michigan Lottery ensures players have the tools and resources needed for a safe and enjoyable gaming experience.
