ID for Shorelines Casino Belleville

Nineteen and over
Under Ontario rules, no one younger than 19 may walk into a casino or stay inside one, apart from staff who are working. At Shorelines Casino Belleville, the Great Canadian guest code of conduct holds the same line and turns away anyone under 19. A family outing around the bay gets no exception. A teenager in the group cannot wait inside either. Settle where the younger travellers will spend that stretch of the evening before heading up Bell Boulevard.

Your age
Photo ID you will carry
On a My PlayBreak casino break?
- 19 or olderOntario keeps anyone younger than 19 out of its casinos.
- Original photo IDA government card with your photo, the card itself; staff can ask for one more.
- No casino breakUnder a My PlayBreak casino break, no Ontario casino lets the person in.
Welcome in
Original photo ID only
Anyone who appears under 30 will be asked for ID, so being 19 or older is just one part of the check. Every guest needs an acceptable government-issued photo ID, shown as the physical original. A licence photographed or scanned onto a phone does not satisfy that rule. Staff can request an additional piece of ID as well.
If you are unsure whether a card counts, call 613-689-9100 before the drive. That call can save a turned-back evening, whether the trip starts in Picton or Napanee.
Taking a casino break
OLG's self-exclusion program, My PlayBreak, is meant for people who want time away from casinos. The shortest break is 3 months, the next 6 months, and longer ones span 1 to 5 years, with every casino in Ontario closed to the person throughout. Whatever term is picked stays locked, which is worth weighing before deciding. Enrolment happens by dialling 1-800-387-0098 to reach the OLG Support Centre, through casino staff on site, or in person at a PlaySmart Centre.
Smoking in marked areas
Smokers and vapers must keep to the designated areas of the property. Between hands, that means heading to one of those spots instead of lighting up right where you are. Cannabis is banned across the whole property, inside and out. Leave it at your accommodation around the bay.
Questions people ask
Will a guest over 30 still be asked for ID?
Staff ask anyone who looks under 30, so it depends on how you look to them. Carry original government-issued photo ID either way, because everyone must be able to show it.
Does a scan of a licence on a phone work?
No. The ID has to be the original physical document; a phone scan or photo does not count, and staff may ask for an additional ID as well.
Can someone under 19 come along for supper?
Not inside the casino. Ontario does not allow anyone under 19 to enter or remain in a casino, apart from staff who are working. Supper at the casino falls under that rule as well.
Does My PlayBreak cover online sites too?
My PlayBreak covers casinos a person walks into, closing the doors of every Ontario casino. Regulated online sites fall under BetGuard at betguard.ca instead, which opts a person out of all of them in one step, OLG.ca included.
