Participate in a Draw to Help Ontario Charities
When you purchase raffle tickets or participate in other licensed games, you help to fund thousands of charities and non-profits across many sectors in Ontario.
Raffles and Electronic Raffles
Raffles are a popular fundraising tool used by service clubs, legions, churches and hospitals. For raffles under $50,000 organizations apply for a license from their municipality. For over $50,000 they must apply to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.
There are many types of raffles including 50/50 draws, calendar-based prize giveaways, blanket raffles and a new Catch the Ace game where tickets are sold until the Ace of Spades in selected.
Electronic Raffles can only be licensed by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. This eases the administrative burden for many organizations that depend on raffles for revenues. For a comprehensive look at electronic raffles, how they work, and how to get started, please visit our dedicated e-raffles website at e-raffles.ca
Other
Special Occasion Gaming Licence (formerly known as Social Gaming Licence) are gaming events held in conjunction with another social occasion to raise funds for an organization. These events include Blackjack or Wheel of Fortune (up to 20 of each) and are licensed by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.
Approval must also be sought from your local municipality to host these events. Equipment for the games must be acquired from a registered gaming supplier. The important element is that there must be another purpose to your event in addition to a gaming opportunity. More information can be found one the AGCO website and interested organization can apply at iAGCO
