Charitable Gaming

As the foremost firm practicing charitable gaming in Ohio, our lawyers help veterans, fraternal orders, religious institutions and many other types of organizations conduct activities that include licensed forms of charitable gaming (like bingo), as well as those that do not require a license (like raffles or gaming festivals).

We also represent both individuals and entities under license investigations by the Ohio Attorney General's Charitable Law Section. Our firm is widely recognized for charitable gaming experience and has advised clients in several important initiatives. 

Our Services

  • Bingo license applications: obtaining, completing, submitting, and renewing licenses
  • Defense proceedings: denied or revoked licenses
  • Unlicensed gaming counsel: compliance for eligible organizations wishing to run raffles or poker festivals without a license
  • Charitable Solicitation Act / Ohio Charitable Trust Act counsel: compliance when charitable funds reach a threshold amount
