As with most conferences this year, G2E is also going virtual, and the CGA has been approached to host the Canadian networking room from 4:15 – 5:00pm ET on October 27.

Here’s what we’ll be talking about: Canada’s gaming industry is undergoing some exciting changes: New standards for cashless wagering have been developed, the casino industry continues to address the challenges associated with COVID-19, and a Private Member’s Bill for sports betting is coming back to Ottawa. Come chat with CGA CEO Paul Burns, Amanda Brewer, and special guests and learn more about the opportunities to expand and enhance gaming in Canada.

CGA Enters into Agreement with Victory Square for Rapid COVID-19 Tests

Victory Square Health Inc. (VS Health) announced on October 21 that it had entered into an agreement with the Canadian Gaming Association (CGA) to provide CGA members with access to the Safetest Covid-19 Rapid test. Each participating casino and bingo property will be able to access rapid, easy, efficient and cost-effective daily Covid-19 Rapid tests to ensure employees are not infected with the Covid-19 virus, which will in turn keep workplaces safe.

VS Health announced on October 6, 2020, that it had submitted all formal documents and research for Health Canada approval of its proprietary Safetest Covid-19 Rapid test.

If you are interested in learning more about the VS Health Safetest Covid-19 Rapid test, please contact the CGA.

Update on Bill C-218

The House of Commons has returned to a regular schedule of House business, which means consideration of Private Member’s Bills will resume. We expect Bill C-218 – the “Safe and Regulated Sports Betting Act” – to have its first hour of debate at second reading on November 3. The Bill is being sponsored by Conservative Kevin Waugh, MP from Saskatoon-Grasslands.

The Bill continues to have all party support. After its second hour of debate the Bill will be voted on, and it will then be referred to the House of Commons Justice Committee for consideration.

CGA Update will provide reports on the Bill’s progress.

Congratulations to AGLC and PlayAblerta.ca!

Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis (AGLC) launched its online gambling site on October 1.

Touted as Alberta’s only provincially regulated gambling website, PlayAlberta.ca is available to Albertans over the age of 18 while within the province’s borders.

Bronze card has been claimed during the group stage; silver and gold prizes remain available until 31 July.

Tonybet said it has paid out its first major prize in its World Cup Card Collection campaign for Canadian customers (excluding Ontario), after a player secured the promotion’s bronze card worth $15,000 CAD.

The operator said the World Cup Card Collection includes 51 cards to collect during the tournament: 48 digital cards tied to participating World Cup nations, plus three unique cards—gold, silver and bronze—linked to a $150,000 CAD total prize fund.

According to Tonybet, the bronze card has been available through the World Cup’s group stage and has now been claimed. The silver card is available during the knockout rounds up to the quarter-finals, while the gold card is held back for the closing semi-finals and final.

Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “With Canada co-hosting the World Cup for the first time, the tournament has felt closer to home than ever before for Canadians, and it has already delivered a moment most supporters could only dream about with the national team advancing to the knockout stages.

“For one lucky Canada supporter, it has now produced another story that will be worth retelling long after the final whistle has gone – with our lucky winner among the first Tonybet customers to win one of the unique cards in our World Cup Card Collection, taking home a cool $15,000 for managing to get his hands on bronze. Who will end up with silver and gold?”

Tonybet said the same three unique cards are also in circulation across its other markets, with varying outcomes so far. The World Cup Card Collection campaign runs until 31 July, with a $150,000 CAD prize pool for Canada and separate prize pools in other markets.
