Education and Outreach committee praises convention classes, suggests demo machines and raises cashless question
Summary
Committee member Kate reported positive reviews of convention classes, recommended physical demo machines for training, discussed outreach to nonprofits and raised the recurring policy question of whether a cashless option could ever be implemented (noting it would require legislative action).
At the Nov. 21 Gambling Control Board meeting, the Education and Outreach committee reported back on convention training and outreach efforts. Committee member Kate said classes were well received, recommended adding physical demo machines to training sessions and urged continued outreach to nonprofits about charitable gambling rules.
"Education and outreach met last week and... they all went really well," Kate said, noting attendees found the sessions informative and topical. She urged members to submit ideas for future classes and said the committee is watching speaking opportunities for nonprofits that want to learn about charitable gambling.
Kate also reiterated a recurring question about the prospect of going cashless for charitable gambling events, noting it is a legislative issue and would require broader policy change. She framed cashless discussion as part of a larger effort to reduce harm and to simplify compliance and access to licensed raffles and events.
The committee report closed with thanks to partner organizations that help run programs and an encouragement that the annual report make clearer distinctions between exempt and licensed activities so stakeholders understand the breadth of charitable gambling.
