Similarly, organizations that reasonably expect to realize gross receipts of $40,000 or less from all charitable gaming other than raffles on a total of no more than seven days per calendar year are required to register with the Department but are exempt from certain fees and reports. Volunteer fire departments or volunteer emergency medical services agencies recognized as part of the safety program of a political subdivision are exempt from application fees and audit fees, except for electronic gaming activities. However, this exemption does not exempt these organizations from other provisions of this article or other Department regulations.
