The Agency is funded through the collection of a levy of 0.8% on each pari-mutuel bet placed in Canada. Canadian Pari-Mutuel AgencyCPMA Officers are responsible for the supervision of pari-mutuel betting, they test and monitor all of the computerized betting tote systems, audit the distribution of payouts prices, conduct investigations into questionable activities in pari-mutuel betting, and enforce the betting regulations and policies to ensure compliance.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian Pari-Mutuel AgencyCPMA is also responsible for monitoring for equine drug use. Since there are many drugs and medications that, if administered to a horse, could affect the outcome of a race, the Canadian Pari-Mutuel AgencyCPMA provides an Equine Drug Control Program that is designed to deter the uncontrolled use of drugs or medication in racehorses participating in pari-mutuel races. Urine or blood samples are collected from horses in the Woodbine\/Canadian Pari-Mutuel Agency CPMA test barns, under video surveillance, before or after a race and are analyzed at a laboratory contracted by the Canadian Pari-Mutuel AgencyCPMA. This regulator also carries out research in order to develop and improve analytical methods for the detection of drugs and to provide information on elimination times for veterinary drugs.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_pageable][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1727111620149{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h4\">Gaming Regulatory Agency<\/h3>\n<p>Gaming in Ontario is regulated by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario <span aria-hidden=\"true\">(AGCO)<\/span>.
