Before you walk into the casino
Getting into Shorelines Casino Belleville is simple when the right ID is in a pocket or wallet. The points below cover age, ID, smoking and the players card, one at a time.

Who can enter: 19 and over
Ontario law sets the age at 19. No one under 19 may enter or stay in a casino, except staff at work. The rule is in section 2(3) of the Gaming Control Act, 1992. The operator's guest code of conduct matches it: anyone under 19 is refused entry at Shorelines Casino Belleville. Guests who look young should expect to be asked for proof of age, as the next section explains.
Photo ID and the under-30 rule
The casino asks for ID from anyone who looks under 30. Every guest must show acceptable government-issued photo ID in its original physical form. A photo of the card on a phone does not count, and neither does a paper copy. Staff may also ask for a second piece of ID.
A simple habit saves a wasted trip: carry two pieces of ID. The first should be the original government-issued photo ID. The second is there in case staff ask for it.
Smoking, vaping and cannabis
Smoking and vaping are allowed only in designated areas at Shorelines Casino Belleville, meaning spots set aside for that purpose. Everywhere else on the property, both are off limits. Cannabis follows a stricter rule. It is not allowed anywhere on the property, and the designated smoking areas are no exception.
The players card
A players card is a membership card that a casino gives to its guests. At Shorelines Casino Belleville, that card is Great Canadian Rewards. Becoming a member costs nothing. People can get the card online or in person at Guest Services. Members insert the card into a slot machine when they play.
Great Canadian Rewards Comp Dollars are accepted at Shorelines Casino Belleville. The casino has the Windward Restaurant, with a fully licensed bar, and the Great Canadian Buffet.
Before leaving home
- Bring government-issued photo ID in its original physical form, not a photo or a copy.
- Pack a second piece of ID in case staff ask for it.
- Decide on a money limit and a time limit before arriving, and stop when either is reached.
- Save the casino's number, 613-689-9100, and call before a holiday visit, since general and holiday hours are not published.
