Target technology and engineering roles
IGT's sponsorship activity is concentrated in software engineering, systems development, and technical architecture roles that support its gaming and lottery platforms. Focusing your search on these functions gives you the strongest shot at a sponsored position.
Understand IGT's dual-track sponsorship
IGT sponsors both H-1B and Green Card visas, which matters for long-term planning. Look for roles where the employer has a history of moving employees from H-1B status toward permanent residence, as this signals deeper sponsorship commitment.

IGT operates in heavily regulated gambling and lottery markets across multiple U.S. states. Compliance, legal, and regulatory affairs roles occasionally draw sponsorship, so don't overlook these functions when searching for opportunities.
