Overview
Beginning Fiscal Year 2027, charitable gaming organizations will now 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. Important: The Charitable Gaming Organization Portal is designed for use with a desktop or laptop computer using a supported web browser. Compatibility with tablets and mobile devices cannot be guaranteed.

Portal Assistance Hours
Portal assistance is available Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. (CT) . During these hours, staff are available to assist with questions related to the Charitable Gaming Organization Portal and application submission process.
If you experience an error while using the portal, please email agogaming@nd.gov and include screenshots of the error message or issue to help us identify and resolve the problem more quickly. If you are unable to contact us during portal assistance hours, you may still email us; however, screenshots are required to expedite review of your issue and replies will occur during the portal assistance timeframe.
Please note that our office cannot provide individualized computer technical support or file preparation assistance. Examples include, but are not limited to:
- Resetting or troubleshooting personal computers or devices;
- Converting documents to PDF, JPG, or other file formats;
- Reducing file sizes to meet upload requirements;
- Locating saved documents on a personal device;
- Scanning or creating electronic copies of paper records;
- Providing instruction on the general use of email, internet browsers, or computer software; or
- Assisting with the completion of required organizational documents.
Due to the high volume of licensing applications currently being processed, and because portal support resources and training opportunities have been available to organizations since April 2026, portal assistance hours have been reduced to allow staff adequate time to review and process submitted applications before July 1, 2026.

Gaining 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.
