The <strong>Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO)<\/strong> now licenses eligible organizations to sell raffle tickets, select winners, and distribute prizes electronically. This shift has modernised popular formats like <strong>electronic 50\/50 draws<\/strong> and online <strong>Catch the Ace<\/strong> progressives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To ensure fundraising is effective and secure, these digital solutions are strictly regulated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Registered Suppliers:<\/strong> Charities must use software provided by an AGCO-registered gaming-related supplier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>System Assessment:<\/strong> Every feature\u2014including online sales portals and <strong>Random Number Generators (RNG)<\/strong>\u2014must be explicitly approved by the AGCO before use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Independent Testing:<\/strong> To guarantee fairness, systems are rigorously certified by <strong>Registered Independent Testing Labs (ITLs)<\/strong> such as BMM North America or Gaming Laboratories International (GLI).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These labs ensure that the technology complies with the <strong>Electronic Raffle Systems Minimum Technical Standards<\/strong>.
