This document outlines the restrictions and limitations on the conducting of charitable games in Illinois. It applies to organizations permitted to conduct charitable games, as well as their employees, volunteers, and participants. The document states that the entire net proceeds from charitable games must be exclusively devoted to the lawful purposes of the organization. Only bona fide members, employees, or volunteers recruited by the sponsoring organization are allowed to participate in the management or operation of a charitable games event. House dealers must be provided for all card games, and no employees, owners, or officers of consultant services hired by the licensed organization may participate in the management or operation of the games. Participants in the management or operation of a charitable games event are prohibited from receiving any remuneration or compensation. There are restrictions on the amount of bets that can be placed, and participants must wear name tags. The document also prohibits soliciting or accepting tips or gratuities, limits the number of charitable games events that can be managed or operated in a calendar year, and prohibits anyone other than the sponsoring organization from having a proprietary interest in the game promoted. Additionally, it addresses illegal gambling and raffles, the presence of minors at charitable games events, entry restrictions for individuals with gambling-related convictions, equipment procurement requirements, and advertising regulations.
