Becoming a Casino
Advisor:
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Casino Advisor?
A Casino Advisor is an independent contractor,
who is registered with the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC)
to assist the charitable organization holding a casino licence. There
are three advisor positions: Cash Cage Advisor; Count Room
Advisor, or Dual Advisor (registered to work as both a Cash
Cage and a Count Room Advisor).
What is a Casino Licence ?
A casino licence is a document issued
by AGLC to religious/charitable organizations to permit that,
in conjunction with the casino facility licensee, they may legally
conduct a casino event. Casino events typically last two
days.
How does one become registered as
a Casino Advisor?
AGLC is the regulatory body for all licensed gaming events
in Alberta, which includes the registration of individuals
as gaming workers. Prior to becoming a registered casino advisor,
an individual must successfully complete a written exam based
on Casino
Terms and Conditions and Operating Guidelines (CTCOG),
Sections 1 through 8.
Examinations are normally conducted twice
a year in St. Albert, Calgary, Grande Prairie, Red Deer and
Lethbridge. An individual can write the advisor exam up to
a maximum of three times.
There is a $100
exam fee which must be paid upon registration for an exam date.
The exam fee is required for the first time the exam is written;
in the event the exam must be written a second time, the exam
fee is not required, but it is required for a third write.
The applicant must achieve a minimum score on their exam. Please
see CTCOG Section 6.3.3 for details.
Once the applicant
has successfully passed the written exam, they must complete
a training period within six months – refer
to CTCOG Section 6.3.5. It is the responsibility
of the applicant to locate and apprentice with a registered
casino advisor in order to complete the required training.
In addition to the mandated training, the applicant will be
required to provide full financial disclosure information administered
by the Due Diligence Division of AGLC.
Once the training hours have been finalized and the due diligence
process completed, the applicant will be registered accordingly
for a two year term.

to study for the exam?
