In plain language

The bill increases the maximum price for a bingo card and allows more volunteers to help manage bingo games.

This legislation amends the Bingo License and Tax Act to allow non-paid volunteers to help with bingo operations and raises the maximum price of a bingo card to $1.79. It aims to support bingo operations by increasing participation and revenue.

What this means for you
  • Families: Families participating in bingo events may find that the costs have increased, but the involvement of more volunteers could improve the overall experience.
  • Consumers: Bingo players will see a slight increase in costs, as the maximum price for a single bingo card will rise to $1.79.
  • Small Business: For small businesses involved in hosting bingo games, this means enhanced participation and potential for increased revenue through higher card prices.

Summary

Amends the Bingo License and Tax Act. Allows a volunteer who is not a paid bona fide member of the sponsoring organization to participate in the management or operation of bingo. Increases the maximum price for a single card to $1.79 (instead of $1).
