Lease for Lawful Gambling Activity

Leased sites—use LG215 lease form

For leased sites, submit the LG215 Lease for Lawful Gambling Activity for activity involving electronic games, pull-tabs, pull-tab dispensing devices, tipboards, bingo, and paddlewheels.

Gambling activity commonly referred to as "meat raffles" are in fact typically either paddlewheel or tipboard games. These games require a lease (LG215) if the premises is not owned by the organization conducting the meat raffles.

No lease is required for raffle-only activity.

Lease term The terms of the lease run concurrent with the premises permit, meaning that it is perpetual (no renewal application required) until terminated by the lessor, organization, or the gambling manager. Lease terms are negotiated between the organization and lessor using Form LG215 Lease for Lawful Gambling Activity.

Lease for premises wholly leased for organization activities If an organization currently leases an entire premises for the organization’s activities and is now applying for a premises permit to conduct lawful gambling there, the organization must submit both of the following:
  • a copy of the original lease between the organization and the lessor, and
  • a copy of the gambling lease (LG215).
The space to be rented for gambling must have been specifically excluded from the original lease agreement between an organization and the lessor.

Owned premises

If an organization owns the gambling premises, no lease is required.

If an organization owns the gambling premises and has a holding company, the organization may not pay rent to its holding company for gambling activities.
