The pioneering iGaming technology company joins the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries, reinforcing its commitment to driving digital innovation in the lottery sector
Bede Gaming, the data-driven iGaming technology provider renowned for its cutting-edge software and comprehensive platform solutions, has officially joined the prestigious North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries (NASPL) as an Associate Member.
NASPL is the largest trade association in the lottery industry, representing 53 state and provincial lottery members across North America. The organization plays a vital role in shaping policy, promoting best practices, and fostering collaboration, education, and knowledge-sharing to advance the sector.
Jake Coy, Director of Partner Relations at NASPL, welcomed the new member: “We are delighted to have Bede Gaming as our newest Associate Member Partner. We look forward to working together this year and beyond with the shared goal of strengthening our industry.”
Colin Cole-Johnson, CEO of Bede Gaming, shared his excitement: “We are absolutely thrilled to join NASPL as an Associate Member. At Bede, we are passionate about helping lottery operators achieve their digital transformation goals, and this membership provides a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate our expertise while aligning with the highest standards in the industry. We’re eager to collaborate closely with NASPL members and partners to better understand the challenges they face and explore how our platform technology can best support their needs while contributing to the wider growth of the lottery sector.”
The upcoming NASPL ’25 Annual Conference and Tradeshow, taking place this month, marks the first opportunity for Bede to engage with members directly. Among the attendees is event host and current Bede partner, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG).
Already a proud member of both the World Lottery Association and European Lotteries, Bede continues to demonstrate its commitment to the future of the industry through innovative digital solutions. In North America, this commitment is reflected in its successful long-term partnership with OLG—a relationship that strongly influenced the decision to pursue NASPL membership, fully supported by the provincial lottery.
Andrew Darley, VP of iCasino and iLottery at OLG, highlighted this support: “Bede has been a trusted partner to OLG for the past five years, providing innovative products and technical solutions that continually enhance the digital lottery experience for our players in Ontario. We were pleased to recommend them for this esteemed membership, as we believe joining NASPL gives them the perfect platform to showcase how their expertise can continue to benefit the industry.”
