Eligibility for charitable gaming

In Alberta's current charitable gaming model, for a charitable organization to be eligible for a gaming licence they must demonstrate one of the following charitable purposes:

To be eligible to hold charitable gaming activities, a group must:

• have a broad-based volunteer membership
• have a democratically chosen executive
• have unpaid members and directors
• show that they offer programs that benefit a significant segment of the community, not member’s self-interest or individual/personal benefit
• demonstrate that they actively deliver a program or service to the community

AGLC’s role is to:

• determine eligibility based on policy
• approve how an organization can use the proceeds from charitable gaming based on policy
