Bill 108: Gaming Control Act (amended)

This bill primarily affects gambling operators, casinos, lottery retailers, sports betting platforms, and advertisers who promote gaming products in Nova Scotia. Businesses that run ads on platforms, venues, or media channels where youth audiences are common — such as social media, sports broadcasts, or school-adjacent signage — will need to review and potentially restructure their advertising strategies. Community organizations that use gambling-style fundraising (like raffle or bingo nights) are carved out from the restrictions, so they are largely unaffected. The practical scope of who is impacted depends heavily on the regulations still to be written, meaning compliance obligations are not yet fully defined.
