Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission
Alberta has adopted the charitable gaming model for casinos, bingo, raffles and pull tickets. These gaming activities may only occur when eligible charitable or religious groups apply for and receive licences to conduct the gaming activities.
Thousands of charitable and religious groups conduct charitable gaming activities to raise funds for their worthy projects and services. Last year, this gaming revenue totalled about a quarter of a billion dollars that was reinvested back into communities throughout Alberta. Learn more about these activities here.
