OLG Slots at Clinton Raceway, OLG Slots at Flamboro Downs, and OLG Slots at Grand River Raceway are the three latest OLG sites to earn RG Check accreditation.
Now, a total of 16 sites and one gaming resort facility have been recognized by the most rigorous Responsible Gambling (RG) accreditation program in the world. The gaming sites that previously earned RG Check accreditation are:
- OLG Casino Brantford
- OLG Casino Point Edward
- OLG Casino Sault Ste. Marie
- OLG Casino Thousand Islands
- OLG Casino Thunder Bay
- OLG Slots at Ajax Downs
- OLG Slots at Dresden Raceway
- OLG Slots at Georgian Downs
- OLG Slots at Kawartha Downs

In addition, Caesars Windsor was the first casino resort property in the world to achieve this accreditation when it was recognized in 2012.
Administered by the Responsible Gambling Council (RGC), the RG Check accreditation is based on an RG Index that is informed by international best practices and evaluates eight core standards: corporate policies, self-exclusion, advertising and promotion, informed decision making, assisting patrons who may have problems with gambling, access to money, venue and game features, and employee training. The sites met all of these standards, earning OLG the highly recognized accreditation.
When it comes to Responsible Gambling programming, OLG will continue to pursue the highest standard. This includes the goal of earning the RG Check accreditation at each of its gaming sites.
Maintaining OLG’s high quality RG program is critical to OLG’s modernization. In the future, qualified private sector service providers will be required to adhere to rigorous external standards like the RG Check and the regulations of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.
