Responsibility to report illegal activities and violations

Your responsibility to report illegal activity

It is your responsibility as a licensee to report and stop illegal activities. Learn what is considered illegal gambling activities.

If you observe or suspect such activities occurring at your premises or any other location, contact our nearest field office or report a violation or illegal activity online and we will investigate the matter.

Self-reporting violations

We will not bring administrative charges against you or a licensee who reports a violation to us within 24 hours of finding it unless the director determines there are extenuating circumstances. You can self-report by calling or emailing your assigned regulation agent and immediately correct the violation. If we determine the violation cannot be immediately corrected, you must submit a plan to correct the violation by a date agreed to by us. This section does not apply if you engaged in criminal activity or we find the violation before you report it.

Ongoing investigations and possible penalties

We will aggressively pursue any suspected bookmaking or other illegal activities, and we will work closely with local law enforcement to end those activities. 

If you or your employees are involved in any illegal activities or allow them to continue at your business, we will take appropriate actions. These actions may result in the loss of your license(s) and criminal prosecution.

Monitoring compliance through unannounced visits

Our regulation agents will continue to make announced and unannounced visits to licensed premises to monitor compliance with our rules and regulations.
