Charitable Gaming Organization Portal
Overview
Beginning April 15, 2026, charitable gaming organizations will apply for and renew their licenses through the Charitable Gaming Organization Portal, which is part of the existing Charitable Gaming Organization Tax Return System. This updated system integrates licensing, renewals, and tax reporting into one online portal for charitable gaming organizations.
What You Need
Before beginning your application, organizations should review the preparation checklist and gather all required information and documents. Having all required materials ready before starting the application will help ensure a smooth and efficient submission.

Important Information About the Portal
- All application data must be entered directly by the organization within the portal.
- All required documents must be uploaded within the online application.
- The Gaming Division cannot enter information or upload documents on behalf of organizations.
- Documents or attachments sent by email cannot be processed in place of portal submission.
- Organizations are responsible for ensuring all required fields are completed accurately and all required documentation is uploaded before submitting the application.
Portal Features
- Streamlined application process with guided steps
- Secure document uploads directly within the application
- Online payment of licensing fees using your existing ACH account (If your ACH account is not yet set up, please complete the ACH Information Form located in the Help tab of the online portal and email to the Gaming Tax Division at agogamingtax@nd.gov)
- Ability to update organization information directly within the application and eliminating previous SFN forms for updating this information.
Additional Access
Organizations may allow additional individuals to assist with licensing in the portal. If you would like additional individuals to assist with licensing, they will need to create their own NDLogin accounts and request access to your organization’s account within the portal. Once this is completed, please submit documentation from your governing board authorizing these individuals for system access to our office. Please include their name, title, and NDLogin username so we can review and approve the requests ahead of the April 15 launch date. You can submit this directly to agogaming@nd.gov.
