Canada’s Atlantic Lottery partners with Neccton

Neccton tool adds to Atlantic Lottery’s recognised player protections
Healthy play is a subject Atlantic Lottery Corporation takes very seriously; for example, the organisation is certified at Level 4 of the World Lottery Association’s Responsible Gaming Framework. This is the highest level any lottery can achieve and something Atlantic Lottery has maintained since 2010.
Now, Atlantic Lottery is taking its responsibility a step further by working with Neccton and its director, Dr Michael Auer, to give players the best protection from harmful play patterns that they can get.
The relationship began when Neccton won the contract via a public tender process, in which the company had to prove its credentials and explain how it would best serve Atlantic Lottery’s players.
Since being awarded the contract, Dr Auer has been working with the Atlantic Lottery team to further strengthen the range of responsible gambling (RG) features for players on alc.ca with the introduction of the PlayWise Rating tool. The PlayWise Rating allows players to see an assessment of their online play patterns if they have been active for 30 days or more on the alc.ca website.
Confidential to each player, the PlayWise Rating is calculated by Neccton’s powerful software using information such as the responsible gambling tools the player uses, what games they play and how often, how much they wager, and any notable changes in these areas.
Dr Michael Auer said of the partnership: “We are always very proud when distinguished organisations use our tools to help their players but when it’s a group like Atlantic Lottery that is already so well recognised for their work in player protection, it means even more to us. Our values are aligned and we look forward to working together for a long time.”
Atlantic Lottery offers a wide range of games to players including instant games, draws, video lottery, sports and online games. In 2020, Atlantic Lottery launched an online casino in the province of New Brunswick. This gave that province’s online casino players access to the many robust responsible gambling features that are available on alc.ca.
Stephanie Ryan, Atlantic Lottery’s head of social responsibility and learning, said the PlayWise Rating is part of efforts to continually improve the tools available to players.
“As a publicly owned corporation, our commitment to responsible gambling is at the forefront of everything we do,” Ryan said. “The PlayWise Rating is an important addition to the range of features, information and resources we provide to empower players to make healthy decisions about their play.”

AGCO takes action to remove unapproved gambling machines from Ontario convenience stores

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) is continuing its efforts to combat unregulated gambling and protect the public. As part of these efforts, the AGCO took steps this week to revoke the lottery seller registrations of a number of retailers in the GTA that were found to be offering unapproved electronic gambling machines under the Prime Slot brand.
The AGCO regulates all gambling in the province of Ontario to ensure gambling products and gaming sites are held to high standards of game integrity, player safety, and the protection of minors and vulnerable individuals.
Over the past decade, unregulated gaming machines have increasingly proliferated across North America. While they largely rely on chance like traditional slot machines, manufacturers have claimed they are games of skill and have installed terminals in convenience stores and other locations where gaming machines would otherwise be prohibited.
The AGCO will continue to take every action within its authority to protect the public against the risks that these unregulated machines pose – particularly in locations easily accessible to children and youth.
A registered lottery seller served with a Notice of Proposed Order to revoke their registration has the right to appeal the AGCO’s action within 15 days to the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT), an adjudicative tribunal that is part of Tribunals Ontario and independent of the AGCO.
“Unapproved gambling machines have no business being in convenience stores or other locations, particularly those that are available to children and youth. ” – Dr. Karin Schnarr, Chief Executive Officer and Registrar, AGCO
Background:
Under Section 10(b) of the Gaming Control Act, the Registrar shall refuse to register an applicant as a supplier or to renew the registration of an applicant as a supplier if there are reasonable grounds to believe that the applicant will not act as a supplier in accordance with law, or with integrity, honesty, or in the public interest.
Under Section 12 of the Gaming Control Act, the Registrar may propose to suspend or to revoke a registration for any reason that would disentitle the registrant to registration or renewal of registration under section 10 if the registrant were an applicant.
