Increase prize threshold for local authority issued lottery licences
Year: 2013
Resolution
Whereas The Alcohol and Gaming Regulations, 1997 limit the maximum value of prize amounts of local authority issued lottery licences to $1,000.00; and Whereas local charities who operate under licences issued by the local authority would like to offer a higher prize amount; Therefore be it resolved that the SUMA lobby the Minister of Crown Investments to increase the maximum prize limit for a local authority issued lottery license threshold from $1,000.00 to $2,500.00.
Provincial Response
The Minister Responsible for the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority has asked her officials to review this matter. This particular limit has been in place for many years and therefore a review is appropriate. If you have any questions or comments regarding the local authorities licensing process or the Charitable Gaming grant, please contact Michael Carpentier, Acting Director of Licensing and Charitable Gaming, at (306) 787-1762 or mcarpentier@slga.gov.sk.ca.
