About the Alberta Lottery Fund

The Alberta Lottery Fund is made up of the government's share of net revenues from video lottery terminals (VLTs), slot machines and ticket lotteries. These revenues total more than $1.5 billion each year, and are used to support thousands of volunteer, public and community-based initiatives annually.

According to the Gaming and Liquor Act, the Alberta Lottery Fund is administered and managed by Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC). A Crown corporation, the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) is an agent of the Government of Alberta and operates under the Gaming and Liquor Act.

The AGLC's role through its Board and operating arm is to administer the Gaming and Liquor Act, Regulation and related policy. The AGLC is responsible for licensing and regulating Alberta's liquor industry and charitable gaming activities and conducting and managing provincial gaming activities.

Using key strategies like ensuring lottery fund revenues are allocated and expended according to policy, and helping Albertans to become better informed about lottery-funded initiatives, the AGLC manages the Alberta Lottery Fund to enhance the quality of life for all Albertans.
