Considerations

  • Each volunteer is essential. Volunteers must attend when scheduled as the casino may not be permitted to operate if volunteer(s) are late or missing, which affects our charity’s revenue, the casino employees, and the Casino Facility Operator. Though your attendance is important, you don’t need to worry about the performance of your duties as you will be trained in your role.
  • No volunteer may consume alcohol or recreational substances prior to or during a shift.
  • No volunteer may gamble in the casino facility during any period (both days) of the Casino Event regardless if they are on a scheduled shift.
  • All volunteer workers must not use cash or casino chips while on-duty at a Casino Event (volunteer food costs and tips included). Basically, there is no reason for a volunteer to be seen with cash/chips in their hands other than for performing their volunteering duties.
  • The use of smartphones, tablets and laptops is permitted in the volunteer lounge. Some casinos may allow their use in the cash cage as well; however, the taking of photographs and video of cash, chips or casino operations is prohibited. Some casinos offer Wi-Fi access but there is no guarantee that you can use it.
