ROW #549 · LEG 82 ITEM 6 · DUG (the license regime) / NAMED GAP (Osceola licensees by name)
Charitable gaming in Indiana is a licensed activity with the license list as its record — and that list, read whole, is the settler this run names rather than fakes. The regime, dug whole: under Indiana Code Title 4, Article 32.3, administered by the Indiana Gaming Commission's Charity Gaming Division, a "qualified organization" — bona fide charitable, civic, fraternal, veterans, religious or educational, tax-exempt under IRC §501 — may conduct bingo, raffles, pull tabs and charity game nights only under commission license: an annual activity license (recurring events, up to three a week), single-event and exempt-event forms beside it. Bingo is the capped game: $1,000 for a single game, $2,000 progressive, $6,000 in total prizes at one event (two $10,000 events a year by special permission); raffle prize caps were eliminated when Article 32.3 replaced 32.2, and raffle tickets may not be sold over the internet. Every licensee files event and annual financial reports (gross receipts, payouts, net proceeds to lawful purpose) and keeps records three years plus the current year, auditable at any time. Osceola holds the raw material of licensees — the banked this history register of the town's nonprofits, ruled from 1946's Legion post forward, is exactly the population from which Indiana licensees come — but the banked build carries no gaming-license item, and this run did not read the Commission's current-license list whole.
Closure: the license regime DUG; Osceola's licensees NAMED GAP. Settler, precisely: the Indiana Gaming Commission's "Current Licenses and Expiration" and "Approved Exempt Events" lists (in.gov/igc/charity-gaming), read whole for Osceola, Penn Township and 46561 addresses — a one-sitting read that will either name Post 308, the churches and the civic bodies as licensees, with dates, or print their absence at list strength.
