The second step is to secure our services as AGLC Registered Advisor(s) once your casino license has been issued by AGLC. As Advisors, we will help guide as to what to do going forward regarding the required paperwork required and all other technicalities. This involves confirming your volunteers' information with AGLC, identifying us as your Advisors, Casino location preferences, event dates, and a whole lot more. As your Advisors, we will provide comprehensive guidance, ensuring all steps are complete, and all forms are submitted correctly and in a timely manner prior to your Casino Event.
The last step is the 2-day event itself. During the actual 2-day event, a Cash Cage Advisor(s) and Count Room Advisor will ensure the smooth operation of the Cash Cage and Count Room during your event. We will help guide your volunteers in their duties and fulfill all AGLC, AML, and FINTRAC procedural and reporting requirements. Most importantly, we will ensure your volunteers have an enjoyable fundraising event.
