What to bring to the casino door

The rule at the door of the casino on Bay Street is short and strict. The check below goes step by step, so a visitor can tell whether the ID in a pocket is enough.

The posted house rule, gate by gate · nothing is sent anywhere

  1. Age on the day of the visitOntario law and the house rule both say 19 and older.
  2. Valid government-issued photo ID with you?Every guest shows one at the door.
  3. A second piece of ID with your name?Asked of guests aged 21 or younger.
  4. Self-excluded or barred from an Ontario gaming site?This casino and every Ontario gaming property count.

19+ with photo ID

Must be 19 or older with valid government-issued photo ID; those 21 or younger also need a secondary piece of name ID. Anyone trespassed or self-excluded from this casino or any Ontario gaming property may not visit.

Age: 19 and older

Ontario law sets the floor: under the Gaming Control Act, 1992, no one under 19 may enter or stay in a casino, except staff at work. The casino on Bay Street follows the same line. Its house rule says guests must be 19 or older. Being close to 19 is not enough. The ID rules below are how a guest shows that age.

Photo ID for every guest

Every guest must carry valid government-issued photo ID. Government-issued means a card made by a government office, not by a store, school or club. It has to show the holder's photo, and it has to be valid, which means not expired.

Guests aged 21 or younger need one more thing. They must also carry a secondary piece of ID with their name on it. A guest aged 21, for example, brings both. Keeping the two pieces together, in one wallet or pocket, makes the stop at the door simpler.

Self-exclusion and who may not enter

Self-exclusion is a choice a person makes to be kept out of casinos for a set period of time. Anyone who has self-excluded from, or been trespassed from, this casino or any Ontario gaming property may not visit. Such a person also may not redeem offers.

My PlayBreak is OLG's self-exclusion program, and a casino break bars entry to every Ontario casino. It lasts 3 or 6 months or 1 to 5 years and cannot be shortened once chosen. To enrol, call the OLG Support Centre at 1-800-387-0098, ask staff at a casino, or visit a PlaySmart Centre.

The players card

A players card is a membership card from the casino that keeps a record of a guest's play under their own name. At the casino on Bay Street, that card is called My Club Rewards. The card is free, and guests get it at the Guest Services desk by showing valid ID. Members earn points at slot machines and at table games. This guide opens no accounts, so the card comes from the casino desk itself.

Before leaving home

  • Valid, government-issued photo ID for each guest in the group.
  • For guests aged 21 or younger, a second piece of ID showing their name.
  • A money limit and a time limit, both decided at home before the trip.
  • The casino's phone number, 705-759-0100, saved for any questions about the rules.
