TITLE 68 INDIANA GAMING COMMISSION Notice of Public Comment Period for Interim Rule LSA Document #25-645 CHARITY GAMING; ELECTRONIC PULL TABS; ELECTRONIC RAFFLES PURPOSE OF NOTICE The Indiana Gaming Commission (IGC) is soliciting public comment on rules to be temporarily added regarding the conduct of electronic pull tab games and the use of electronic raffle systems in charity gaming. IGC seeks comment on the affected citations listed and any other provisions of Title 68 that may be affected by this rulemaking. ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS Governor's Approval: 20251112-IR-068250645GAA Regulatory Analysis: 20251112-IR-068250645RAA CITATIONS AFFECTED: 68 IAC 21-8-10.5; 68 IAC 21-8-11; 68 IAC 21-8-12.5; 68 IAC 21-8-14; 68 IAC 21-8-15.5; 68 IAC 21-10-9; 68 IAC 21-10.5; 68 IAC 21-10.7 AUTHORITY: IC 4-32.3-3-3 OVERVIEW Basic Purpose and Background During the 2025 legislative session, Senate Enrolled Acts 108 and 209 were signed into law by Governor Mike Braun. Under these Acts, IGC was required to adopt administrative rules to regulate the conduct of electronic pull tab games and the use of electronic raffle systems in charity gaming. Charity gaming qualified organizations, licensed supply manufacturers, and licensed supply distributors will be affected by the rulemaking. Statement Justifying Requirement or Cost Manufacturers and distributors of electronic pull tab systems and electronic raffle systems will be subject to implementation and compliance costs imposed by the rule, most significantly stemming from software development costs.  These costs, however, are commensurate with other jurisdictions that allow the conduct of electronic pull tab games and the use of electronic raffle systems; and the costs are not so significant as to disincentivize the use of these new technologies.  While the benefits of having an effective regulatory framework are difficult to quantify, IGC believes that benefits of the rule will outweigh the costs. REQUEST FOR PUBLIC COMMENT IGC is soliciting public comment on the proposed rule. Comments may be submitted in one of the following ways: COMMENT PERIOD DEADLINE All comments must be postmarked or time stamped not later than December 12, 2025. The rule, Regulatory Analysis, appendices referenced in the Regulatory Analysis and Statement Justifying Requirement or Cost, and materials incorporated by reference (if applicable) are on file at the Indiana Gaming Commission, 101 West Washington Street, Suite 1600, Indianapolis, Indiana and are available for public inspection. Copies of the rule, Regulatory Analysis, and appendices referenced in the Regulatory Analysis and Statement Justifying Requirement or Cost are available at the Indiana Gaming Commission office.
