Gaming Applications

Local Permits/Charity Local Permits

The application for a local permit to conduct raffles, bingo, or sports pools within the City of Minot should be fully completed and furnished to the City Clerk's Office (City Hall--2nd Floor), 515 2nd Avenue SW, Minot, ND 58701. A $25.00 non-refundable application fee should be included with the application.

The application can also be used for a charity local permit to conduct raffles, bingo, sports pools, poker, twenty-one, or paddlewheels within the City of Minot; however, the charity local permit restricts the nonprofit organization to one event per year, and the nonprofit organization must file an information report with the City and the Office of the Attorney General, and must disburse net income to eligible uses. Refer to the back side of the "Report on a Charity Local Permit" form for a general list of eligible uses.

When a request for a local/charity local permit is received by the City Clerk's Office, the application form is reviewed for accuracy and, if all required information is provided, a permit is mailed to the applicant within 5 working days. The permit will include a "permit number" that is required to be included on preprinted tickets for raffles. A complete listing of requirements for preprinted tickets is available on page 2 of the application form.
