Gaming Control Act (Ontario)

The Act was enforced by the Gaming Control Commission Ontario to ensure honesty, integrity, and financial responsibility to participants[1] as well as preventing criminal activity such as lottery scams.

[4] On June 1, 2012, the previously separated distinctions of break open ticket seller and lottery retailer were combined.

[5] A seller is authorized to sell lottery products and/or break open tickets in more than one location if they have a valid retailer contract on behalf of the OLG, a licensed charitable or a religious organization.

[11] People who are exempt from registration as suppliers or gaming assistants include those who provide services without a salary, provide goods or services to themselves, are full-time employees of fundraising for charitable organizations, the employees of a seller, or the owners and operators who grant leases.

[12] Participants are only allowed to game if they have been verified to be the age of majority in Canada.
