License fees

  • The annual fee for a regular license is $500. Qualified operators of pull tabs and jar games may hold only one regular operator’s license, which is valid only at the locations stated on the license. Once during each license year, a regular licensee may obtain a special permit to sell pull tabs at a different additional location for a period of up to five consecutive days.
  • The limited license fee is $50. An organization qualified for a regular license, but not holding one, may receive a limited license to sell pull tabs or conduct jar games on two occasions per year for up to five consecutive days each at a single location. No more than two limited licenses may be issued to any organization in any year.
  • Qualified suppliers and manufacturers of pull tabs and jar games must pay an annual license fee of $5,000 or $15,000 for three years.
