A registration as a Gaming Assistant is required in the following circumstances:
- Category 1 Gaming Assistant
An individual employed in the conduct, management or operation of a lottery scheme or in the operation of a gaming site, who, in the opinion of the Registrar, exercises a significant level of decision-making authority or has significant supervisory or training responsibilities. - Category 2 Gaming Assistant
An individual employed in the conduct, management or operation of a lottery scheme or in the operation of a gaming site, who, in the opinion of the Registrar, does not exercise a significant level of decision-making authority or have significant supervisory or training responsibilities.
Examples
The main distinction between a Category 1 Gaming Assistant and a Category 2 Gaming Assistant is the degree or extent of decision-making authority and/or supervisory responsibility exercised by the individual with respect to the lottery scheme or the operation of the gaming site.
Individuals who supervise or manage game play or other registered Gaming Assistants, oversee or coordinate lottery product sales, act as a Director/Department Head (or above), manage compliance issues, or have signing authority to make purchases, enter into contracts or offer employment will most likely need to be registered as a Category 1 Gaming Assistant.
Category 1 Gaming Assistants would include, but are not limited to: table game managers, security and surveillance managers and supervisors, casino executives, bingo hall managers and lottery retailer managers.
Category 2 Gaming Assistants would include, but are not limited to: dealers, cashiers, bingo callers and slot attendants.
