The Provincial Order-in-Council gives the municipality authority to issue licences for most lottery events conducted in their communities, including:

• Bingo events with prize board of up to $5,500;

• Raffles with prizes up to $50,000;

• Break Open Ticket events that are not conducted in conjunction with another event and where the tickets are sold within the municipality;

• Bazaar gaming events; and

• Media bingo.
  
  Municipal and provincial licensing officials must:

• Determine whether an organization is eligible for lottery licensing in Ontario, according to the guidelines set out in the Lottery Licensing Policy Manual (LLPM);

• issue and administer licences in a fair and equitable manner,

• consistent with the policies set on in the LLPM; and

• Ensure that licensees meet the requirements of the Criminal Code (Canada), the Order-in-Council and the term and conditions of their licences.
