10th September 2025 – Bede Gaming, the data-driven iGaming technology provider known for its market-leading software and full-service platform solutions, has officially joined the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries (NASPL) as an Associate Member.
NASPL, the largest trade association in the lottery space, represents 53 state and provincial lottery members throughout North America. The group plays a pivotal role in advocating for lottery organizations on matters of policy and best practice, while promoting collaboration, communication, education, and information sharing across the industry.
Jake Coy, Director of Partner Relations, NASPL:
“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.”
Colin Cole-Johnson, Chief Executive Officer at Bede Gaming, said:
“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.
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.”
The NASPL ’25 Annual Conference and Tradeshow this month marks the first opportunity for Bede to engage directly with NASPL members. The event is hosted by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG), a current Bede partner.
As a member of both the World Lottery Association and European Lotteries, Bede has long demonstrated its commitment to advancing the industry through innovative digital solutions. In North America, this is reflected in its ongoing successful partnership with OLG—a collaboration that played a key role in Bede’s decision to pursue NASPL membership.
“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,”
confirmed Andrew Darley, VP of iCasino and iLottery at OLG.
“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.”
