What is Charity Gaming?

One of the financial supports for many non-profits in New Hampshire is Charitable Gaming. This program connects approved gaming places with various charitable entities. The gamer cannot operate without a daily license. Charities interested in income from this source register with the state to qualify to purchase 10 licenses. These licenses are, by mutual agreement, made available to the gamers so that they can operate. The non-profit receives 35% of the take on that day, minus prize money.

There are hundreds of Charities that participate in this program. This group includes various clubs and organizations. There are youth sports teams, ladies clubs, and just about every kind of organization that are approved.
