Who must be in charge of a charitable game event?

The licensed organization (the organization holding the Charitable Games Operator License) must run, manage and operate the charitable games event. The organization shall designate a person in charge of, and primarily responsible for, the conduct of a charitable games event.

The person in charge must:

  • be identified as the "person-in-charge" on the licensed organization's Form RCG-1, Application for Charitable Games License;
  • be present on the premises continuously during the charitable games event;
  • have been a member of the sponsoring organization for at least one year prior to the charitable games event; and
  • be familiar with the provisions of the Charitable Games Act.

Note that volunteers may be recruited only by the licensed organization. Volunteers must receive no pay or compensation (directly or indirectly, including tips), participate as a volunteer in no more than 12 charitable gaming events per calendar year, and provide their name, address, Social Security Number, and date of birth.

For further information, refer to the Charitable Games Regulations, Section 435.160.
