Please be sure to read and follow all instructions thoroughly to ensure you have a successful event.

These packets have been designed to assist registered organizations with the games of chance process. We have created and gathered forms and samples and simplified instructions for the purpose of streamlining this process. This package is meant to be used simply as a guide. The State Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission has full authority over games of chance.

Four copies of each Bingo and/or Raffles Application must be submitted to the clerk 60 days prior to event. The event cannot be promoted until the application is approved and the license is issued. Signature pages of each packet must contain original signatures and notary. If handwritten applications, one complete original must be submitted. Copies of the organization’s valid state registration must be submitted with each application.

A signed and notarized Affidavit is required by each member in charge. This form is required by the police department. Your license will not be released until these forms are received.

Additional Information for Bingo:

  1. A flyer or ticket must be submitted with each Bingo application and must include the Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission State Registration ID # (State #____) and space for the assigned license number (BL____). It also must note how many games and faces are included with the fee for admission.
  2. All equipment utilized in the conduct of any Bingo must be obtained from a licensed bingo equipment provider. This information can be found on the LGCCC website.
  3. If the premise where the bingo will be conducted is rented, a Statement of Landlord Form and Declaration of Trust must be attached to each of the four bingo applications.
  4. The fee for Bingo is $20 for each occasion on which any game of bingo are conducted under the license. Please refer to the LGCCC website for the required fee for other games of chance. Separate checks payable to LGCCC are required for each bingo, raffle, etc. submitted.
  5. No prize may be awarded in excess of $1,000 for a single regular or special game. The total prizes awarded of all games on any one occasion shall not exceed $3,000 except for the authorized percentage games known as, progressive jackpot, 50/50, multi-color, and pre-draw. These games are to be conducted only in the proper manner as described in the rules and regulations.

Please keep in mind that per N.J.A.C. 13:47, no game may be conducted where alcoholic beverages are sold, dispensed or consumed during the period of the commencement of the first and the conclusion of the last bingo game of the occasion. If alcohol is found to be at any bingo event at the Senior Center, the organization will not be permitted to rent the facility in the future. In addition, the LGCCC will be notified which may jeopardize the organization’s registration with the state.
