Wisconsin law requires that bingo cards be sold and paid for only at the bingo occasions where they will be used and must conform to statutory regulations as to size, content, materials, etc. Please note that it is illegal to conduct virtual bingo games in Wisconsin in which particpants are required to make a purchase in order to play.

Additionally, we perform on-site inspections of bingo events and initiate compliance audits of organizations that conduct bingo.Īll organizations that are conducting bingo games in which participants are required to make a purchase in order to play must be licensed by the Wisconsin Division of Gaming. Our regulatory responsibility is to protect the public interest and the integrity of games of chance played in the state. We annually license approximately 400 organizations that conduct over 10,000 bingo occasions each year.

The Division of Gaming's Office of Charitable Gaming is responsible for the licensing and regulation of raffles and bingos conducted by charitable organizations.
