Benefits - Gaming Permit

The GPCC owns a gaming permit which can be used for your business or non-profit group. A letter of intent of use needs to be submitted to the Chamber Board for approval and prior to use. A fee of 10% of the proceeds will be collected for usage. A primary permit holder is named along with an alternate, which will need to take the state test if they have not been a permit holder prior. Alaska State gaming laws and regulations apply.

Permit Usage guidelines

The President will sign the permit and designate funds used. If different than the previous year, designation of funds must be approved by the Board of Directors before final approval will be given by the Chamber’s primary permit holder.

To use the permit, other than the Chamber, requester must:

• Be a non-profit organization and funds raised from the raffle must be used for a non-profit organization.
• Request must be made in writing to the Board prior to use and will require Board approval for use.
• The primary permit holder must approve design of raffle ticket.
• 10% from proceeds will go to the Chamber to cover costs, unless otherwise approved by the Board.
• President and Primary permit holder will make final decision on acceptability of spending funds.
• Permit application and appropriate fees are to be turned into the state by December 15th.
• Contact the State of Alaska on all permit questions, if the Primary permit holder cannot answer.

The use of permit must follow Alaska State Statutes Sec. 05.15.150. Limitation on use of proceeds and Alaska State Statues Sec.05.13.400.
