Non-gaming-related suppliers
Registration
In order to provide goods or services that relate to the construction, furnishing, repair, maintenance or business of a casino, but that are not directly related to the playing of a lottery scheme or the operation of the gaming site, you must be registered with the AGCO, unless you are eligible for an exemption.
Trade unions
Registration
If you are a “trade union” within the meaning of the labour relations act, 1995 and intend to represent registered gaming assistants employed by a casino or slot machine facility, you must be registered with the AGCO.
