Gaming Employees
The LGCA licenses gaming employees to ensure they meet the standards of honesty and integrity required to work in the gaming industry. Gaming employee licensing is a requirement in most jurisdictions across North America. All employees working for Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries or any casino in the province must be licensed by the LGCA.
Terms and Conditions
Gaming employees must comply with the terms and conditions set by the LGCA.
Application Forms
You cannot apply directly to the LGCA for an employee licence. First, you must be offered a job by one of the following employers and they will provide you with an LGCA application form:
You will need to provide your employment and financial history, criminal charges, and any criminal convictions. The LGCA conducts background investigations on all applications as part of the licensing process.
Complete applications take an average of three to five business days to process. Failing to disclose complete and relevant information will result in a more detailed investigation, longer processing time, and the possible denial of a licence. A history of criminal charges, bankruptcies or civil proceedings does not automatically result in the denial of a licence.
If your application is approved, the LGCA will mail your licence to you. Being licensed by the LGCA does not guarantee employment. If you stop working in the gaming industry, your LGCA employee licence will cease.
Renewals
Gaming employees must renew their licence before expiry. The LGCA will send you a renewal package two months before your licence expiry date. Failing to renew your licence could result in your licence being suspended or revoked.
You must notify the LGCA in writing if you move or your name or contact information changes. Gaming employees also must notify the LGCA in writing of consequential information that may affect their licence. Consequential information can include, but is not limited to, bankruptcies, criminal charges, civil proceedings, disciplinary action by your employer that relates to your honesty and integrity, or any other behaviour that relates to your honesty and integrity. Please use the change notice form below to notify us of any changes or consequential information.
