• Unless it otherwise directs, the Commission will not receive any applications for Poker Room Licenses after the deadline;
• If the Commission receives more than three (3) applications prior to the deadline, the Commission will select which applications it will consider granting based on the following criteria:
  • The proposed location of the poker room; and 
  • The proposed size of the poker room;
• If an application is not selected, application fees will be refunded to the applicant;

It should be noted that the Commission is not receiving applications for an EGD facility. The issuance of a new Poker Room Licence does not provide the license holder the authority to operate electronic gaming devices.

As the KGC Office is currently closed to the public, applications for a Poker Room Licence can be submitted via e-mail to info@gamingcommission.ca or mailed to the attention of the KGC Compliance Department at Box 1799. Application forms may be obtained at: https://gamingcommission.ca/land-based-gaming/forms/
