GAMING LICENSE RESTRICTIONS FOR RAFFLE TICKET SALES:
LICENSE B – PROCESS
MEMSS PAC has a License and Gaming number through BC Gaming that only PAC can use to apply for gaming licenses. If someone other than the PAC executive applies, this becomes a fraudulent offence, which could result in the PAC losing future school grants and the ability to obtain future gaming licenses.
If Grad/ Dry Grad requests MEMSS PAC to apply for a gaming license, they must be or become a PAC member (meetings every 3rd Thursday of the month) and work closely with the PAC executive. The licensee (MEMSS PAC) is responsible for the conduct and management of the gaming event according to BC gaming rules.
The Grad fundraising money (raised through the PAC gaming licenses) must all be deposited into the PAC gaming account and then disbursed to the eligible purposes, with receipts. These may include things such as a raffle ticket printing, hall rentals, decorations, catering etc. Funds CANNOT be used for any personal gain, such as gifts, gift cards, cash etc.
PAC is responsible for all reporting (BC gaming revenue reports and annual reports) and must keep all records and receipts.
PAC may earmark funds (from Grad/Dry grad fundraising) in the PAC gaming account, for grad disbursements, but cannot simply donated funds back to the dry grad group. BC Gaming prefers that the PAC pays suppliers directly whenever possible, as that creates the shortest paper trail. Any funds leftover remains with PAC to be used at their discretion.
