The province announced that Alberta charities will be able to keep more money from charitable gaming and gambling events without Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) approval.
Dale Nally, the minister of Service Alberta and red tape reduction, said Monday the province has eliminated 60 per cent of rules around charitable gaming and how funds can be spent.
Charitable gaming activities include, raffles, pull tickets, bingo and casino events. In 2024, more than 23,000 charities in the province participated in those types of events.
In 2023 and 2024, charity organizations earned more than $409 million through charitable gaming events, with $79 million raised by the host First Nations charities.
