Big Link Bingo Games

A unique cooperative effort among the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) and the Ontario Charitable Association (OCGA) which distributes the charitable proceeds, BIG LINK BINGO games allow players at bingo centres across the province to play together for big prizes. These include our afternoon game The Link, our evening game Ultimate Link, our late evening game Late Link, as well as a feature called Big Link Plus.

Benefiting the Community

BIG LINK BINGO supports local community charities and non-profit organizations across Ontario. The proceeds are distributed through the Ontario Charitable Gaming Association (OCGA). Commissions are also provided for participating bingo centre operators and the games generate economic activity for companies that supply the goods and services as a result of BIG LINK BINGO.

For our main evening game, Ultimate Link, revenues are shared according to the following formula:

• 55% to prizes.
• 18.5% to the bingo centre charity associations.
• 9.9% to the bingo centres.
• 16.1% for operating costs and profit paid to the province.

The revenue sharing for The Link and for Late Link is similar, and is as follows:

• 63% to prizes.
• 13.2% to the bingo centre charity associations.
• 8.8% to the bingo centres.
• 14.5% for operating costs and profit paid to the province.

The organization that represents the charities receives 0.5%.
