The Compliance Section is responsible for testing and approving bingo products used in Texas. Through education and training, we strive to meet overall voluntary compliance of our bingo licensees in Texas. We provide online training to assist in areas important to understand and to be aware of in the industry including emphasizing the responsibilities of a licensee. Educating our licensees on best practices and trends will increase awareness and better inform those we license. The Education Section provides training and information to licensees and the public. They also designate the fee allocations to local jurisdictions and the state from the prize fees collected, enforce collection actions against delinquent licensees and ensure the required charitable distributions are reported. The Accounting Section records quarterly reports and payments to ensure proper fees and taxes are paid. The Licensing Section also processes applications for individuals applying to be a registered bingo worker.

All applications go through a determination process to ensure eligibility and conformance with the Bingo Enabling Act and Rules.

The division ensures that bingo games are conducted fairly and the proceeds are used for authorized purposes.
