Bede Gaming, a leading force in iGaming technology and digital platform solutions, has officially joined the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries (NASPL) as an Associate Member, reinforcing its strategic focus on digital innovation within the lottery sector.
The announcement, made on 10 September 2025, marks a significant milestone for the UK-based firm, as it deepens its ties with the North American lottery industry. NASPL represents 53 lotteries across North America and plays a central role in guiding industry best practices, encouraging innovation, and fostering collaboration among members.
“NASPL is pleased to have Bede Gaming as our newest Associate Member Partner; we look forward to collaborating this year and beyond with the goal of strengthening our industry,” said Jake Coy, Director of Partner Relations at NASPL.
Commitment to Digital Advancement in Lottery
Bede Gaming’s entrance into the NASPL network comes as part of its wider strategy to support digital transformation across regulated lottery markets. Colin Cole-Johnson, CEO of Bede Gaming, emphasized the importance of the move: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be joining NASPL as an Associate Member. As a company that’s passionate about supporting lottery customers in achieving their digital transformation goals, this membership provides an opportunity for us to further demonstrate our capabilities and do so in alignment with the highest industry standards.”
He added that the company looks forward to engaging with other NASPL members to better understand their challenges and identify ways in which Bede’s cutting-edge platform technology can help address them: “Bede is looking forward to working closely with NASPL members and partners to learn about the challenges that they face. Our goal is to explore how our pioneering platform technology can best support their needs, while also contributing to the broader advancement of the lottery industry.”
Debut at NASPL 2025 Annual Conference
The company’s first official participation as a NASPL member will take place at the NASPL 2025 Annual Conference and Tradeshow. The event will be hosted by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) – a longtime Bede partner – and will serve as a key opportunity for the company to showcase its expertise and connect with North American lottery stakeholders.
Bede has already established itself as a major player in the global lottery space, holding membership in both the World Lottery Association and European Lotteries. Its strong partnership with OLG has been a defining factor in its North American expansion and played a role in its NASPL membership application.
Endorsement from Ontario Lottery & Gaming
Andrew Darley, VP of iCasino and iLottery at OLG, endorsed Bede’s membership, highlighting the company’s impact on Ontario’s digital lottery services: “Bede has been a trusted partner to OLG for five years, providing us with innovative products and technical solutions that continue to enhance the digital lottery experience for our players in Ontario. We were happy to recommend them for this esteemed membership and believe that by joining NASPL, they’ll now have the perfect platform to showcase how their expertise can assist the industry going forward.”
With NASPL membership secured, Bede Gaming now has an influential platform to expand its footprint in North America while contributing to the evolution of the lottery industry through digital-first solutions.
