Charitable gaming refers to games of chance, such as bingo or raffles, that are organized to raise funds for nonprofit organizations. These events allow participants to enjoy gaming while supporting a good cause, with a portion of the proceeds going directly to charity. Typically regulated by state laws, charitable gaming ensures that funds are used for specific purposes, such as community services or educational programs. Organizations must often obtain licenses and follow strict guidelines to conduct these events, ensuring transparency and accountability in how the money is spent.
