In 2002, the BC Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch replaced the BC Gaming Commission as the authoritative regulatory body for gaming in BC.
The BC Gaming Commission was established by Order in Council 612/87 to set policy and the terms and conditions of licences.
Order in Council 5/2002 (approved and ordered January 11, 2002) repealed Order in Council 612/87 and named the Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch of the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General as the authority to issue licences and to prescribe terms and conditions.
Section 22 of the Gaming Control Act, S.B.C. 2002, c. 14 (in force August 19, 2002) provides for the continuation of the Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch and sets out its responsibilities.
