Without proper regulation, charitable
bingo could become big business
“A Constitutional Amendment providing that Bingo and Raffles, if conducted by authorized organizations (defined as nonprofit religious, educational, veterans, fraternal, service, civic, medical, volunteer rescue, volunteer fire, and volunteer police organizations), shall not be constitutionally prohibited as a lottery, provided the organization has been in existence five (5) years and net receipts are used only for charitable, religious, or philanthropic purposes.”
That’s what Arkansas voters passed on Tuesday by a 69 percent to 31 percent margin."
