Experience
Printing the #1 Informational Guide of Las Vegas for six years and creating the famous Insider Viewpoint of Las Vegas web site more than five years ago has given me an opportunity to share my knowledge with millions.Daily, more than 10,000 people visits my web site and search through the 1,000+ pages of information about the great city of Las Vegas and the surrounding area.My staff and I can help with the simplest question to helping you with a complete convention set up including hotels and air

My degree in accounting and business management was not a spring board to the occupation I have chosen.Las Vegas is more of a teacher of hard knocks and experience in the city, rather than learning it from a text book.

Gambling - Mobile Gaming Licence


Expert: Richard Reed - 12/2/2008

Question
Hi,
We are looking for ways of raising funds in our charity in the UK (Air Cadets). One of our members has written a programme that allows scratch cards to be sent electronically to a mobile phone / cellphone. Would we need a gaming licence if the scratch card is free, but we charge a premium mobile connection fee for the download (say £1.50 to download the card with a possibility of winning £1000)?
Thanks in anticipation.

Answer
Thanks for the question.  Please do not shot the messenger, but any form of payment with the possibility of winning a cash prize is gambling and in Nevada you would need a license.  Since the USA does not like online gaming, I sincerely doubt they would be remotely inclined to be willing for a charity or not to issue a license. This might be allowed in other countries, I am not familiar with worldwide gambling laws, but you might have something that works in countries other than the USA. Another problem you would have in the USA would be phone lines have no boundaries and they do not make a federal gambling license, so I have no idea how you would regulate this per state.

Respectfully
