The World Lottery Association (WLA) has announced the suspension of the membership of the Russian lottery JSC Technology Company "Center" and the Belarusian lottery CJSC Sport Pari with a recommendation for their expulsion to be presented at the next WLA general meeting in October.
The WLA has explained that the principles on which the association is based are territorial integrity, public order and morality, which are being questioned by the unprecedented invasion of Ukraine by Russia with the help of Belarus.
In this regard, they emphasize that, according to its statutes, a member of the WLA must, in order to obtain and maintain its membership, not only respect these three principles but also contribute to the respect of fundamental human rights.
Consequently, as of March 17, JSC Technology Company "Center" and CJSC Sport Pari have lost all the rights and privileges associated with WLA membership; notably they no longer appear on the membership list, have no representation nor voting rights and no longer have access to any and all WLA activities and events including the member only section of WLA’s online presence.
