Summary
Yukon has no regulated online casino, sports betting, poker or bingo. Under the Criminal Code only a provincial or territorial government, or a licensed charity or fair, may conduct and manage a lottery scheme, and charities may not run games through a computer or slot machine. Yukon's Public Lotteries Act gives the Yukon Lottery Commission, a government agent, the conduct and management of interjurisdictional lotteries, run with the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC). Its administrative arm, Lotteries Yukon, is the sole distributor of lottery products, sold through 35 retailers and as single-draw mobile tickets in WCLC's Lotto Spot app. WCLC's Sport Select is the only government sports product. The lottery age is 18. The Act also allows one government gaming establishment, in Dawson City, run by a single licensed agent that must be the Klondike Visitors Association unless it cannot or will not act; the association operates Diamond Tooth Gerties there. Charitable raffles, bingos, 3-day casinos and chase-the-ace lotteries are licensed by the Registrar of Lotteries, and casino players must be 19. There is no gaming tax. Lottery profits go to the Yukon Lottery Commission Fund and on to arts, sport and recreation. Yukon lottery sales were C$12.6 million in 2024-25, and the Commission recorded a comprehensive loss of C$2.2 million as it spent down reserves on C$5.5 million of grants and transfers. In April 2026 the Commission said ticket revenue had fallen by about 25% and halved travel assistance grants to C$200 a trip. No territorial proposal to regulate online gambling has been published.
Common pitfalls
The Lotto Spot app is a lottery channel, not a licensed iGaming site: it sells single-draw mobile tickets for WCLC games to players within the WCLC region. Diamond Tooth Gerties is a government gaming establishment run by a statutory licensed agent, not a commercial casino licence, and the Act allows only one, in Dawson City. The Commission's WCLC commission income (C$3.43 million in 2024-25) and WCLC's net income allocation to Yukon (C$3.57 million for the same year) are different measures. No gross gaming revenue figure is published, so none is given here. The regulations text used is the consolidation current to 30 June 2018.
Key facts
- Regulator
- Yukon Lottery Commission (YLC)
- Regulator type
- Lottery monopoly
- Headline tax
- Not yet verified
- Licence required
- Yes
- Minimum age
- 18+
- Tax base
- There is no gaming tax, because there are no commercial operators. All money received from interjurisdictional lotteries is paid into the Yukon Lottery Commission Fund (Public Lotteries Act s.15), and the Commission is not subject to income tax. WCLC allocated C$3.817 million of net income to Yukon for the year to 31 March 2026 (C$3.569 million a year earlier). WCLC pays the federal government a tax in lieu of collecting GST on lottery ticket sales and remits a share of the provinces' inflation-adjusted payment for the federal withdrawal from the lottery field. Charitable licence holders pay only licence fees.

Licensing
- Licence required
- Yes
- Application window
- Rolling
- Local establishment required
- Yes
- Local server required
- Not yet verified
- Typical time to licence
- Eligibility applications are typically processed within 20 business days, and the Registrar must review a licence application within 30 days of receipt (Lottery Licensing Act s.4).
- Bank guarantee or bond
- Where prizes exceed C$5,000 the Registrar must be satisfied that they are guaranteed, for example by a cash deposit in trust, bank credit or personal guarantees (Lotteries and Games of Chance Regulations s.10).

Taxation
- Headline GGR tax
- Not yet verified
- Effective date
- Not yet verified
- Player winnings tax
- None for ordinary players. The Canada Revenue Agency says lottery winnings of any amount are not reported as income unless the prize is income from employment, a business or property, or a prize for achievement.
- VAT treatment
- GST is not collected from players on lottery tickets; WCLC pays a federal tax in lieu of it, calculated by a set formula, as well as GST on its own purchases.
- Tax base
- There is no gaming tax, because there are no commercial operators. All money received from interjurisdictional lotteries is paid into the Yukon Lottery Commission Fund (Public Lotteries Act s.15), and the Commission is not subject to income tax. WCLC allocated C$3.817 million of net income to Yukon for the year to 31 March 2026 (C$3.569 million a year earlier). WCLC pays the federal government a tax in lieu of collecting GST on lottery ticket sales and remits a share of the provinces' inflation-adjusted payment for the federal withdrawal from the lottery field. Charitable licence holders pay only licence fees.
Earmarked levies
- Yukon Lottery Commission funding programmes: Profits of interjurisdictional lotteries, after Commission operating costs; C$4,620,556 of programme funding in 2024-25 (Arts, sport and recreation: the Projects Fund (C$2,978,779), Travel Assistance Program (C$879,819), Community Lottery Program for 19 communities (C$651,958) and strategic partnerships (C$110,000))

Compliance
- Minimum age
- 18+
- National self-exclusion
- Not yet verified
- KYC timing
- At the point of sale for lottery tickets; account creation before a mobile ticket purchase; at entry to charitable casino events
- AML regime
- Under the federal PCMLTFA a lottery scheme at a fixed place of business with roulette or card games, or with more than 50 slot machines, is a reporting casino, and so is an internet lottery scheme, excluding online bingo and lottery ticket sales. For charitable gaming, the Lotteries and Games of Chance Regulations require proceeds to be banked in the account named in the application and paid out by cheque where revenue exceeds C$5,000, and records kept in Yukon for one year for inspection.
- AML supervisor
- FINTRAC for reporting entities under the federal PCMLTFA; the Registrar of Lotteries for the financial terms of charitable gaming licences
- KYC requirements
- WCLC refuses the sale or encashment of lottery tickets to anyone under 18, and retailers may ask for proof of age from anyone who appears to be under 25. Lotto Spot mobile purchases need an account and are limited to players within the WCLC region. At licensed charitable casinos, people under 19 may not enter or play (Lotteries and Games of Chance Regulations, Schedule C, s.4(4)).
- Stake limits
- Charitable casinos may not exceed the betting limits stated on the licence, and all bets must be made with chips or tokens bought for cash (Schedule C, s.6).
- Mandatory player messaging
- Licence holders must display the licence and its terms and conditions at the venue, and bingo and blackjack house rules must be displayed where players can see them. The Commission's responsible gambling programme is GameSense, and Lotteries Yukon lists the Canadian Mental Health Association of Yukon support line (1-844-533-3030).
- Reporting obligations
- A notarised financial report within 30 days of each lottery; interim reports every three months for multiple-event licences and every six months until proceeds are spent; supporting documents with the report where gross sales exceed C$10,000. Chase-the-ace licence holders report every three months and must notify the Registrar within one business day of a jackpot win or termination.
- Game content restrictions
- No one may be hired or paid to run a licensed lottery or sell its tickets, other than employees whose main duties are other work (s.13). Bingo may not be played where liquor is sold or consumed, except media bingo, and Lotteries Yukon says the Liquor Act prohibits gambling in licensed establishments, so licensed restaurants cannot sell lottery tickets. Casino events charge no admission and blackjack is dealt face up (Schedule B, s.3(3); Schedule C, ss.2 and 3).

- Land-based (reference): 19+

The Supreme Court of Canada hears the appeal on whether a provincial scheme may pool players with people outside Canada on 7 October 2026 (file 42141), and the federal Bill S-211 on a national sports betting advertising framework is at committee in the House of Commons.
