# Fundraising and Gaming

## 7.3 FUNDRAISING AND GAMING

Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission is the governing agency AGLC for all gaming and charitable fundraisers.

#### OVERVIEW

All Gaming activities (fundraising) for a team MUST have a gaming license. You can apply for a gaming License online at [AGLC License](https://aglc.ca/gaming/charitablegaming/licences)

#### STEPS

1. You first apply for an online ID. THIS IS NOT YOUR LICENSE NUMBER.

1. Once you receive eligibility to apply for a license, you still need to apply (it can take 3-5 business days for the eligibility to be approved).

1. Ensure your Gaming license is made out to your team’s name. (For example, Medicine Hat U13 Leaf’s) **Do not use Medicine Hat Minor Hockey Association.**

1. At the end of your license, you will need to file your gaming activity report with AGLC. This includes reporting the gaming proceeds and how you spent your gaming proceeds. **Failure to complete this report will impact your ability to get an additional gaming license and it can impact MHMHA’s ability to obtain casinos in the future.**

#### OTHER

1. Common examples of activities (fundraisers) that require a gaming license:

- - 50/50 tickets
  - Raffles
  - Hockey pools (including survivor pool, loser pool)

1. You do not need a gaming license for things such as selling Mom’s Pantry, Kernel’s Popcorn, silent auctions, or bottle drives.

1. You are required to have a minimum 20% value in the prize as compared to the value of the total ticket sales. This prize can either be a donated prize, or one purchased by the team.

Example:

- - Each ticket sells for $10.
  - You have 15 team members.
  - Each team member will be given 20 tickets to sell.
  - The total proceeds for the raffle will be $3,000 ($10 ticket x 20 tickets x 15 teammates).
- *The prize must be worth at a minimum $600 (20% of total proceeds of $3,000)*
