PURPOSE: This rule clarifies the amount of
money licensees can use for advertising in
relationship to the management, conduct or

U.S. Western District Court of Missouri
which eliminated the advertising restriction in
the Missouri Constitution.

(B), and (C) licensees as defined in rule 11
CSR 45-30.065 may not exceed ten percent
(10%) of the total receipts available for charitable, religious or philanthropic purposes.
The percentage shall be calculated based on
the licensee’s prior calendar year use of
receipts for charitable, religious or philanthropic purposes as reported on the licensee’s
quarterly reports. New licensees will be
allowed to estimate the funds available for
advertising for the first two (2) calendar quarters of operation. After two (2) quarters, the
total must be based on the actual receipts to
be used for charitable, religious or philanthropic purposes.
(2) All expenditures for advertising of a
licensed bingo game must be paid from the
licensee’s special bingo checking account.
All invoices, receipts and other documentation used to account for advertisements must

11 CSR 45-30.280 Net Receipts from Bingo
and Bank Account
PURPOSE: This rule explains the proper disposition of bingo receipts.
(1) Pursuant to section 313.040.1, RSMo,
the entire net receipts over and above the
actual cost of conducting the game of bingo
as enumerated in section 313.040.1, RSMo
may be paid from the bingo checking account
into the general treasury of the licensed bingo
organization. All bingo funds paid into the
general treasury of the licensed bingo organization shall be devoted exclusively to lawful,
charitable, religious or philanthropic purposes of the licensed organization. However, no
funds from any source shall be used to compensate anyone affiliated with the licensee for
managing, conducting or operating the game
of bingo or to provide any services or equipment for the game of bingo.
(2) The bookkeeping or accounting records of
the licensed organization shall completely
and accurately reflect the net amount
received from operating bingo. The total
expenditures for lawful, charitable, religious
or philanthropic purposes, from all revenue
sources, shall equal or exceed the net receipts
from bingo.
(3) All receipts from each bingo occasion,
less the amount awarded as cash prizes for
that occasion, shall be deposited in a special
bingo checking account in a financial institution located in Missouri no later than the next
business day following the date of the bingo
occasion. Disbursements for reasonable and
necessary expenses incidental to the conduct
of bingo games must be paid from the special
bingo checking account on preprinted, serially numbered checks. Checks must be payable
to a specific payee. At no time may checks be
made payable to “cash.” An organization may
use a debit transaction instead of a check;
however, each debit transaction must be
reported with other disbursements from the
bingo checking account on the quarterly
report as required by 11 CSR 45-30.210. All
debit transactions must be documented with a
receipt or other supporting documentation to
ensure proper use of bingo proceeds.
(4) If an organization uses starting cash, a
check must be written to a financial institution, retail establishment, or to a charitable

Secretary of State
(12/31/10)
organization to obtain the starting cash. The
entire amount of the starting cash obtained by
the organization must be redeposited into the
bingo checking account no later than the next
business day. An organization may use a
debit transaction instead of a check to obtain
starting cash from their bingo checking
account, however, each debit transaction must
be reported with other disbursements from
the bingo checking account on the quarterly
report, as required by 11 CSR 45-30.210.
(5) Bingo operators may not deposit receipts
from any other fund-raising activities of the
organization into the bingo checking account;
except as needed, game operators may transfer funds from another account into the bingo
checking account to cover bingo game related
expenses. Any monies deposited into the
bingo checking account are deemed to be
bingo proceeds and can only be used to pay
bingo gaming expenses or for religious, charitable, or philanthropic purposes.
(6) The commission upon request may examine any account into which bingo proceeds
are deposited or transferred.
(7) Any licensee who denies the commission
access to any account into which bingo proceeds are deposited or transferred may have
its license immediately suspended until such
access is granted.
