WELCOME CHARITIES
ASG's Ohio program aims to assist licensed 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organizations in taking advantage of laws that permit local businesses within your county to sell pull tabs (instant bingo tickets) on behalf of your organization. In return, the businesses are eligible to receive a reimbursement of up to 6% of the gross revenue/sales from the tickets. The Ohio program serves as a platform to bring charities and businesses together, aligning with ASG's philosophy of facilitating revenue generation for both parties
Any 501(c)(3) organization that has been operational for over 2 years and obtains a bingo license can benefit from the ASG Ohio program. Additionally, any business in Ohio has the opportunity to benefit from the ASG program. Notably, convenience stores, gas stations, bars, restaurants, bowling alleys and any establishment that sells Ohio lottery tickets have been particularly successful within the program.
When you collaborate with our All-Star Gaming team, our dedicated members will assist you in obtaining a license, finding and teaming up with local businesses, providing the sellers training on generating revenue for their business and your organization.
