Sanctions Imposed for Illegal Gambling

Premises permit—If illegal gambling occurs at a premises, the Gambling Control Board shall suspend the premises permit up to 90 days for a first occurrence.

The Gambling Control Board considers several factors in determining the length of the suspension:

1. Did the organization notify the lessor, in writing, that illegal gambling was being conducted at the premises and request that the lessor take appropriate action?
   
   
2. Did the organization or any of its agents know that the game or device at the site was illegal or was designed to be capable of being used in a manner that causes illegal gambling?
   
   
3. To what degree did the organization cooperate with state and local authorities?
   
   
4. Did the organization or any of its agents participate in the illegal gambling?
   
   
5. What was the nature or severity of the violation?

Organization license—The Gambling Control Board will suspend or revoke an organization’s license if the organization or any of its agents participated in the illegal gambling or knowingly permitted it.
