Star Rating Reports

Star Rating

Each licensed organization is evaluated by the Minnesota Gambling Control Board to determine a rating based on the percentage of its annual gross profits spent on lawful purpose expenditures (LPE).  This rating is referred to as the organization's star rating.

 

Lawful purpose expenditures include charitable contributions, payments to local units of government, lawful gambling taxes, and building expenses related to veteran and fraternal organizations.  Organizations are evaluated according to the following criteria:

% Spent on LPE         Rating

more than 50%.........5 star

more than 40%.........4 star

more than 30%.........3 star

more than 20%.........2 star (one year automatic probation)

less than 20%............1 star (one year automatic probation)
