AGCO removes commission cap for Ontario charitable lottery sellers
Source: AGCO (Ontario)
Ontario’s Alcohol and Gaming Commission removed the cap on seller commissions for paper raffles and media bingo, and lifted the prohibition on Catch the Ace paper lottery commissions. Charities may negotiate commissions with sellers, provided the amounts are reasonable and linked to service costs; they must retain receipts and remain subject to audit.
Charities can now negotiate seller commissions for these lottery products within the AGCO’s reasonableness and record-keeping conditions.
