age or older, a resident of Canada or the United States of America, and
not officers, directors or employees of Ontario Lottery and Gaming
Corporation (“OLG”) or Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario
(“AGCO”). There is no fee payable to obtain membership. To participate,
members must comply with all terms and conditions of membership,
including these WCR Rules (“Rules”).
2. To record slot or table play, members must insert their WCR card into the
slot machine or table game card reader for the duration of play that they
want recorded. The maximum number of concurrent WCR player cards

ensure that the card is properly inserted and accepted for play.

accumulated during recorded slot or table play. Points recorded during
table game play, with card inserted, are towards membership level only

are typically based on slot and table play with card inserted. Any points
accumulated through misuse of the WCR card, abuse or fraud at/of any
slot machine or table game will be forfeited and membership may be
revoked.
4. OLG may from time to time, without notice, develop, maintain and change
