SUMMARY
Gambling Licenses are governed by the Minnesota Gambling Control Board. Nonprofit organizations may conduct raffles, bingo and other forms of lawful gambling according to Minnesota Law. Lawful gambling consists of the operation, conduct or sale of bingo, raffles, paddle wheels, tip-boards and pull-tabs. Before approving the permit, the Minnesota Gambling Control Board requires County approval of an application when the gambling premises are located in a township. An application was received from Ducks Unlimited for an Exempt Permit to hold a raffle at Gopher Hills Golf Course in Douglas Township on January 30, 2023. These organizations are exempted from all requirements that apply to licensed gambling but must comply with the requirements set forth in Minn. Stat. §349.166, subd.2(a).
