Welcome to the

BC Gaming Industry Association

The British Columbia Gaming Industry Association (“BCGIA”) formed in 2015 to provide strategic leadership to its members and to serve as a unified voice to government on behalf of BC’s private sector gaming operators.

Through consistent and disciplined advocacy, the BCGIA has earned its reputation as collaborative partner to stakeholders and government, and an effective advocate for its members’ needs.

The association represents 12 land-based gaming operator companies that own and manage 30 properties across the province. These properties include casinos and community gaming centres with bingo, and non-gaming amenities such as theatres, hotels, conference centres, and food and beverage facilities.

In 2024/25, land-based casino, community gaming and bingo operations generated revenue of $1.8 billion and net profit to government of $852 million.
