The Casino Austria and Austrian Lotteries Group regularly undergoes extensive certification audits, especially in the areas of Security (data protection as well as information security), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Compliance, Responsible Gaming and Quality Management.
This year, Austrian Standards carried out a full recertification audit from July 4 to September 22 for the areas of Compliance (audited according to ISO 37301/37001), CSR (audited according to ONR 192500) and Responsible Gaming (audited according to the Responsible Gaming Standard of the European Casino Association). The auditors visited and audited the casinos in Graz, Kitzbühel, Linz and Velden as well as the WINWINs in Hallein and Steyr over the summer months for this purpose. The audits continued for three more days at the company’s headquarters with interviews of the employees and the General Director Erwin van Lambaart. These interviews are an important part of the regular recertification and surveillance audits.
A surveillance audit according to the European Lotteries Certification Framework to verify the conformity of Austrian Lotteries’ responsible gaming activities also took place and was successfully completed in September.
In the course of these audits, Casinos Austria and Austrian Lotteries once again demonstrated their implementation of the highest standards in an international comparison.
Erwin van Lambaart, Director General of the Casinos Austria and Austrian Lotteries Group, had this to say: “Correct game processing, active anti-money laundering management, high data protection compliance and the highest security standards for all players – these requirements are simply indispensable for us as a licensed gaming company. That’s why compliance plays a central role in the business activities of the Casinos Austria and Austrian Lotteries Group. The Code of Conduct is the foundation for our actions. Our employees are absolutely committed to our guiding principle of “Playsponsible – Practicing Responsibility Together”. This achievement is reflected in the audits and certifications we successfully complete on a regular basis and I would also like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks for this.”
