WyoLotto COO Named to National Problem Gambling Committee

WyoLotto’s Chief Operations Officer, Robin Medina, has been named to join a national committee to support problem gambling initiatives. The committee is through the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) and will manage the annual selection of nominations and election of the Board of Directors that oversees NCPG.

“Our foundation as a corporation is to manage what we do in a responsible manner for the state of Wyoming. The selection of Robin to this committee demonstrates that we are leading the way nationally when it comes to promoting responsible gambling and raising awareness of problem gambling,” said Jon Clontz, CEO of WyoLotto.

Last year WyoLotto applied for and was accepted to the NCPG and NASPL’s (North American State and Provincial Lotteries) Responsible Gambling Verification Program. WyoLotto’s Responsible Gambling Program includes an in depth plan to ensure the organization honors its commitment to educating players, retailers and the general public about how to gamble responsibly and what to do if gambling becomes a problem for yourself or someone you know.

“Our verification was a major achievement for us, and it is also an achievement for Wyoming. We are now accredited nationally for our efforts to take care of Wyoming when it comes to gambling, and this helps everyone in the state,” Medina said.

“Through these efforts, we have been recognized on a national level, which is why I have been selected for the Nominations and Selection Committee for NCPG. I am very excited and see this as an opportunity to further support our mission,” she added.
