Can you summarize Gaming Control Act, 1992, S.O. 1992, c. 24, s. 3.6?
OPERATION OF LOTTERY SCHEMES > Exclusion of individuals
Short Summary
This provision, found in the Ontario Gaming Control Act, 1992, allows the Registrar to issue a written direction to the person conducting and managing a lottery scheme in a gaming site. The direction requires the site to refuse access or prevent an individual from playing a lottery scheme if they meet certain criteria prescribed by the regulations. The Statutory Powers Procedure Act does not apply to the Registrar’s power to issue a direction, and the direction is considered final and not subject to appeal. The direction must name the individuals to whom access to the gaming site is to be refused, and a copy of the direction must be served on the named individuals. It is an offense for an individual named in a direction to enter or remain in a gaming site or play a lottery scheme after being served with a copy of the direction. The section amendments indicate the dates when certain provisions came into force.
