The Provincial Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and Municipal Councils may issue lottery licenses to charitable organizations. The AGCO and municipalities work together to ensure that the legal requirements, including terms and conditions of the licenses, are complied with by lottery licenses and any gaming suppliers used by the charities. The Registrar has issued a Lottery Licensing Policy Manual which is used by municipal licensing officers to make decisions on eligibility for a lottery license and for the use of proceeds, and for the types of lottery schemes for which a license may be issued. The Registrar also issues "terms and conditions" for lottery licenses, which may be supplemented by municipalities.

The Township is responsible for licensing of the following Lottery types:

• Bingos not in a pooling bingo hall with a maximum prize board of $5,500;
• Break open tickets sold within the municipality;
• Raffles under $50,000 in prizes.

Seguin Township Council has appointed the Municipal Clerk as the Lottery Licensing Officer and delegated the authority to issue lottery licenses in Seguin to the Municipal Clerk.
