Important Changes to Due Diligence Investigative Process and Forms

Gaming Bulletin

March 24, 2023

This bulletin is to advise individuals and companies currently licensed, registered or approved, that AGLC has streamlined our process and forms.

  • Obtain forms directly from Due Diligence
    • First time applicants are to contact Due Diligence at duediligence@aglc.ca as part of the new application process. Due Diligence will assist the applicant to determine the correct form(s) to use and answer questions about the process and forms.
    • For applicants whose licence, registration or approval is being renewed, Due Diligence will contact the individual or company six months prior to the licence, registration or approval expiring to help determine which form(s) to use and to answer any questions.
  • New streamlined process
    • Key individuals of associated companies will complete a 4-page Consent to Records Check (Form 5678), instead of an 18-page disclosure.
    • Key individuals of publicly traded companies will need to complete a disclosure only if they are a key employee or director of the applicant applying for a licence, registration or approval.
    • Publicly traded companies will not need to complete a disclosure, unless they are the applicant applying for a licence, registration or approval.
  • New streamlined forms
    • A single applicant disclosure, Application for Due Diligence Investigation (Form 5675), will now be used for gaming and cannabis applicants. The form has fewer questions and is 10 pages, compared to our previous applicant disclosure for gaming, which was 38 pages in length.
    • Associated companies will provide only one year of financial information, instead of the previous requirement of three years of information.
    • Personal disclosure (Form 5676) no longer requires detailed schedules of assets and liabilities.
    • Additional information may be requested as the investigation progresses.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact AGLC’s Due Diligence Unit at duediligence@aglc.ca.
