Indigenous Gaming Regulators (IGR)

The primary goal of IGR is to license and regulate the on-reserve charitable gaming activities of those First Nations that have designated IGR as their regulator through Band Council Resolution (BCR). Regulation by IGR includes the licensing of charitable gaming operations and the registration of on-reserve gaming employees.
