Lottery and Gaming Licensing

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) authorizes the Town of Oakville to issue lottery and gaming licenses to eligible charitable or not-for-profit organizations . The Town ensures all legal requirements, including terms and conditions to the licenses, are met by lottery licensees and any gaming suppliers used by charities.

What does the town license?

Raffle Lottery - A Raffle Lottery is a scheme where tickets are sold for a chance to win prizes and includes 50/50 draws, elimination draws, and calendar draws. Raffle lottery licences are available for total prizes of $50,000 and under.

Break Open Ticket (BOT) - A Break Open Ticket is a device made of cardboard and has a perforated cover window tabs behind which are symbols revealed by tearing open the cover tab. The winning combination of symbols is specified on the back of the ticket. Break Open Tickets are also known as Nevada tickets, pull tabs or BOTs.

Electronic Bingo (“Ebingo”) Centres were introduced by the AGCO in 2013. For eBingo inquiries or the join the waitlist, please contact the Town of Oakville’s Licensing Officer for more details at townclerk@oakville.ca or by phone at 905-815-6015.

To own or operate a bingo hall in Ontario, you must be registered by the AGCO. Visit the AGCO website for more information.
