GAMING LICENCE FOR PECSF CAMPAIGN 2015
Typically each year, PECSF is granted a special gaming licence covering all 50/50’s & Raffles
from the Gaming Policy & Enforcement Branch to share with PECSF volunteers provincially.
Upon finalizing this years’ gaming application, it was brought to our attention that it is no
longer possible to have one combined licence for these two types of events. If Raffles & 50/50’s
were to be offered, they would need to be organized, promoted, tracked, and reported
separately and under two separate licences. Understanding the limitations of both volunteers
and the PECSF HQ, it was determined that this was not a viable practice and/or option for
PECSF.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
THE 2015 PECSF GAMING LICENCE WILL COVER ONLY 1-DAY 50/50 DRAWS.
This decision reflects the high popularity of 50/50 events over raffles (120 vs 25) and is based
largely on what we hope makes best use of volunteer time & ultimately the direct benefit for
the charities in our community.
In early July 2015, PECSF HQ sent an email communication reflecting this change in practice to
all identified raffle organizers from previous 2014 campaign, including all current volunteer
email distribution lists.

OPTIONS TO CONSIDER




Turn your raffle into a PECSF AWARENESS EVENT to promote the benefits of donating.
While gaming events can be fun, the amount raised for the charities is extremely small
compared to your valuable time & efforts.
Almost 95% of all monies raised come from payroll deductions!
Hold a CONTEST, or an INCENTIVE DRAW, offer prizes to encourage participation.
USE CAUTION IN YOUR ADVERTISING!
There is a fine line between incentives &
gaming. Ask yourself:
 Is there an element of chance?
 Is there a cost to participate?
 Is there a prize of material value?
If you can answer YES TO ALL THREE!
You have a gaming event! BETTER CALL PECSF!

*BC GAMING POLICY AND ENFORCEMENT BRANCH WEB SITE UPDATE
May 19, 2015 - Gaming Funds Used for Disaster Relief in
Nepal Organizations wishing to participate in fundraising for
earthquake victims in Nepal may conduct licensed gaming events to
assist with relief efforts. Funds raised from these events must be
donated to the Canadian Red Cross Society - B.C. and Yukon.
In January 2005, the government made amendments to gaming
policies, allowing in certain circumstances the use of net proceeds
from licensed gaming events to assist with relief efforts for disasters
and emergencies that have occurred outside of British Columbia.
Organizations wishing to participate in such fundraising efforts must
meet the specified criteria and obtain a licence from the Gaming
Policy and Enforcement Branch.
