Other Helpful Rules
WAC 230-03-161 Applying for a combination license.
(1) Charitable or nonprofit organizations may apply for a combination license to operate one or more of the following gambling activities:
(a) Authorized nonhouse-banked card games without collection of a fee to play; and
(b) Raffles with gross gambling receipts up to two thousand dollars during the license year; and
(c) Bingo with gross gambling receipts up to twenty-five thousand dollars during the license year; and
(d) Amusement games, owned and operated by the organization, with gross gambling receipts up to seven thousand five hundred dollars during the license year.
(2) You must apply for a separate license if any of the gambling activities in subsection (1)(b) through (d) of this section you operate will exceed the gross gambling receipt limits specified during your license year.
WAC 230-05-104 Defining "base license fee."
(1) "Base license fee" is the fee you pay us when you:
(a) Apply for an organization license or permit; or
(b) Renew your organization's license or annual permit.
(2) "Base license fee" is the minimum annual license fee a licensed organization or permit holder will pay for operating an authorized activity.
WAC 230-05-106 Defining "maximum annual license fee."
"Maximum annual license fee" is the most you will pay to operate an authorized activity for the license year, which includes the:
(1) Base license fee; and
(2) Quarterly license fees.
WAC 230-05-122 Calculating quarterly license fees.
(1) The quarterly license fee is calculated based on the gross gambling receipts from the previous quarter as reported on your quarterly license report.
(2) Each license year, the quarterly license fees will be offset by the base license fee. (For example, if your base license fee is sixty-five dollars and your quarterly license fee is forty-five dollars for the first quarter, no additional amount is due for the first quarter. You would offset any future quarterly license fees by the remaining twenty dollars of your base license fee.)
WAC 230-05-124 Quarterly license fees and license reports.
All licensed organizations must submit quarterly license fees and license reports to us for each licensed gambling activity beginning with the first quarter of their license year. The quarterly license fee is due with the quarterly license report.
The quarterly license reports must be in the format we require and must:
COVER THE PERIOD |
BE RECEIVED BY US NO LATER THAN |
---|---|
January 1 through March 31 |
April 30 |
April 1 through June 30 |
July 31 |
July 1 through September 30 |
October 31 |
October 1 through December 31 |
January 31 |
(2) Be received online at our administrative office or postmarked no later than the dates indicated in the table in subsection (1) of this section; and
(3) Be submitted even if there is no quarterly license fee payable to us; and
(4) Be accurate; and
(5) Be completed by the highest ranking executive officer or a designee. If someone other than the licensee or an employee prepares the report, the preparer must include his or her name and business telephone number on the report; and
(6) Be submitted for any period of time the license was valid even if there was no gambling activity or the gambling license was not renewed.
