Training & Certification
Help make your customers' lottery experience a winning one by completing BCLC's Lottery Retailer Certification.
To sell, validate and payout lottery tickets, you must be certified by BCLC. In fact, you need to be certified within 60 days of being added to the BCLC Retailer Database. Your lottery certification remains valid as long as you sell lottery - it will expire one year after you stop working with lottery.
Online certification is available only for lottery locations with an Altura lottery terminal. If your location does not have an Altura terminal contact your BCLC Territory Manager for an alternate certification method.
