The Washington State Gambling Commission is a law enforcement
agency delegated with the sole authority to license and regulate
authorized social gambling activities and tribal gaming activities
authorized by compacts. These responsibilities are accomplished
through administration of a statewide regulation and control program
in cooperation with tribal governments and all other law enforcement
agencies.
The agency provides a controlled environment in which the citizens
of Washington may participate in various types of social gambling
without fear of involvement by professional gamblers or criminal
elements.
This is accomplished by: maintaining licensure and investigation
processes to regulate and control social gambling activities;
preventing persons with a criminal background or association from
involvement in authorized social gambling activities and tribal
gaming activities authorized by compacts; providing basic and
advanced training to state law enforcement officers on all aspects
of gambling and to licensees and the public on the gambling statutes
and rules; maintaining service levels that will not unduly restrict
those persons authorized to participate in gambling activities;
and increasing the potential for bona fide charitable and nonprofit
organizations to raise funds and allow commercial food and drink
businesses to stimulate sales through the use of authorized social
gambling activities.
