CHARITABLE GAMES ACT > Provider's License
Short Summary
This legal document governs the licensing requirements for providers of premises for charitable games events. It applies to persons who own, lease, or control premises where charitable games events are conducted. A licensed provider, other than a municipality, is limited to providing the same premises for conducting up to 12 charitable games nights per calendar year, while a municipality can provide the same premises for up to 48 charitable games nights during a 12-month period. The provider must ensure that the organization conducting the charitable gaming is duly licensed and retain a copy of its charitable games license. The provider’s license is valid for either one year or three years, depending on the type of license, and can be extended by the Department under certain conditions. The provider must submit an application for a license accompanied by the required nonrefundable license fee. The provider’s books and records related to the provision of premises for charitable games events must be maintained for three years and made available for inspection by the Department. The provider is prohibited from having any interest in a supplier’s business and from participating in the management or operation of a charitable games event. Additionally, the provider may not promote or solicit a charitable games event on behalf of a charitable games licensee or recruit a qualified organization for an event. However, the provider can display a marquis indicating that a licensed organization is hosting a charity gaming night. Non-compliance with the provisions may result in the suspension or revocation of the provider’s license by the Department.
