Welcome to the Louisiana Office of Charitable Gaming

Office of Charitable Gaming — Our Mission

The Office of Charitable Gaming works to ensure that charitable gaming in Louisiana is conducted fairly, honestly, and in compliance with state law.

Our role is to protect the public, prevent fraud, and make sure charitable organizations receive the full benefit of the games they operate. We oversee bingo, raffles, pull-tabs, and other charitable games to ensure they are run properly and that funds raised support legitimate charitable causes.

We are currently working to improve and modernize the BLAIR Portal to better serve our licensees and the public. We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this transition as we work to deliver a more reliable, secure, and user-friendly system.

The Office was created by the Louisiana Legislature to promote integrity, transparency, and accountability in charitable gaming across Louisiana.

The BLAIR (Bingo Licensing, Accounting, Inventory & Reporting) system is part of a broader effort to modernize and streamline the Office of Charitable Gaming’s licensing and reporting processes.

The updated BLAIR Portal will provide several new and improved features, including:

• Secure access for multiple users with unique usernames and passwords
• Individual login credentials for external, third-party preparers of quarterly reports
• A redesigned interface with improved navigation and usability
• Online payments for license renewals, penalties, and fines

We are currently working through final updates and testing to ensure the system is reliable and secure. We appreciate your patience as we complete this transition and prepare to launch the enhanced portal.

To prepare for access, please contact OCG as soon as possible to confirm the email address you will use for portal registration. External preparers will be added once the portal is live.

If you are a frequent user, please remember to update your browser bookmarks with the new website address once it becomes available.
