Title: DOJ License
Post by: dale on May 14, 2015, 08:48:28 AM

I live in Utah an 'any slot' state. I have been informed that if I want to buy any more slots from other states I need a DOJ License. This is from a place in Las Vegas and the first time ever that I ever was told this. I have bought slots from California, Ohio, Texas and Nevada with this never being an issue. My question is where do I go and what forms are needed to get this 'Free" license. I think its Bullshit as I am not a dealer just a home user. The websites are confusing as I am not sure if I got to my states DOJ or the federal governments. Any help is appreciated. :EmoticonHelp4: :thank_you:

Any time a slot machine crosses state lines, a DOJ is needed. If distributors havent asked for it in the oast, thats on them. legally, they are supposed to. Here's the link to the registration page:

http://www.justice.gov/criminal/oeo/gambling/ (http://www.justice.gov/criminal/oeo/gambling/)

Just fill it out, send, email, or fax it in, and you will receive a letter stating you are register the remainder of this calendar year. It is not a license of any kind, merely proof that you are federally registered to transport gaming devices over state lines. I don't really see the point of it myself, as there is no reporting to be done (as many states mandate), so it's not like they know how many machines are moving where.

Thanks guys, found the application and faxed it in, pointless for a home user that lives in a state that has NO SLOT RESTRICTIONS.
