The updated fee structure officially went into effect on July 3, 2025, and impacts all charitable license holders across the state. The changes reflect a longoverdue update aimed at supporting the oversight and administration of charitable gaming programs in Wisconsin. The fees help fund regulatory functions that ensure transparency, fairness, and the lawful
According to the notice issued by the Office, the new fee schedule is as follows:
Raffle License: increased from $25 to $50
Bingo Occasion License: increased from $10 to $20 Bingo – Member Designated Responsible for Gross Receipts: increased from $5 to $10 use of charitable gaming proceeds. “This is the first fee increase in over 30 years,
and it was necessary to maintain the integrity of the program and cover administrative costs,” the department said in its statement.
Organizations and individuals participating in or hosting charitable gaming events — such as raffles and bingo — may notice slight increases in costs associated with those events. Community members are encouraged to understand that any rise in bingo prices or raffle ticket costs may be tied directly to these updated state fees.
