Lottery Licences

More

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission (AGCO) is responsible for administering the lottery licensing program in Ontario. Municipalities and the AGCO are responsible for issuing lottery licenses to eligible charitable and religious organizations.

Eligible charitable and religious organizations may raise funds through provincially or municipally licensed lottery events. The Clerk's Department issues lottery licenses to eligible charitable organizations.

  • A consideration or a fee

 Lottery License Application Process

Eligible Organizations/applicants must submit a completed Lottery License Application to the Clerk's Department, please allow a minimum of ten (10) working days for the Lottery Licensing Officer (Clerk's Department) to review and process the application.

Applications that are not completed to the satisfaction of the Lottery Licensing Officer/Authority may experience delays in the issuance of the License.

Each lottery license application must clearly state where the proceeds from the licensed scheme will be donated.

All Lottery proceeds raised are for charitable purposes, as outlined in Section 2.1.0 of the Lottery License Policy Manual (LLPM), and must follow the established Organization's mandate.

The Lottery License Report must also be accompanied by copies of the following:

  • Cheques issued pertaining to the License
  • Financial Statements (deposit slips)
  • A list of winners relating to the event.

Any discrepancies between the net receipts and total deposits must be explained, in writing, and submitted with the Report.
