The annual reports must be submitted to the Gambling Control Board by the March deadline.

State law allows cities to require organizations conducting charitable gambling within their jurisdiction to contribute up to 10% of their net profits, minus gambling taxes, to a city-administered fund. The proceeds must be used for charitable purposes or for police, fire, emergency services, public safety equipment, or training. Additionally, a city may impose a local tax of up to 3% on charitable gambling net receipts to cover local gambling enforcement costs.

Cities with a “10% fund” or a gambling enforcement tax must submit annual reports to the Minnesota Gambling Control Board by March 15.

Forms for both reporting requirements are available as Excel files on the Gambling Control Board’s website:

After entering and saving the required information, email the Excel file to the Gambling Control Board at [email protected]. Please note that previous versions of these forms are no longer accepted.
