Bingo Application Directives

 

  1. Applicants must submit a completed 50/50 Bingo Recipient Application to CKON Radio 97.3, along with any other relevant attachments. No applications will be accepted over the phone. By “completed” we mean it must be filled out completely. ALL telephone numbers of ALL contact persons, as well as an address of at least one contact person must be present on the application. Please don’t assume that by placing just the office number on the application is sufficient. Sometimes your office might be closed and we will need another way to reach you.  If an application is turned in incomplete, it will hold up the review process.
  2. Applicant must be a non-profit group, organization, or agency. Individual applicants are not eligible. Funds received must be used in a manner beneficial to the community of Akwesasne.
  3. Only non-profit sports teams under a non-profit league or organization may apply. This will be on a first come, first served basis. Professional teams or paid players may not apply. Team must consist of at least three (3) individuals residing in Akwesasne. A roster may be required.
  4. You may only qualify ONCE per year.
  5. Requests for emergency assistance in the form of a total loss house fire will be reviewed as soon as possible.  Medical assistance requests are not eligible and will be immediately directed to the appropriate social and/or medical assistance agency.
  6. You will be notified only once upon application being approved. We will notify you by phone, as well as by mail. This is the only time you will be notified as to the date of when your application will be given a bingo. We do attempt to make a courtesy call to remind you either the day before or the day of your bingo, but it is not our responsibility to do so. It is your responsibility to remember when your date is, and show up to work the bingo. 
  7. If you fail to show up to work the bingo on the date specified, you have then forfeited the money. You will not be able to reapply for a period of one (1) year.
  8. Our studios are fairly small, and can get crowded easily. We REQUIRE that you only send one (1) person in to work the bingo. If more than one person shows up per application, all but one will be sent home.
  9. Bingo is a form of gambling. Therefore, while the bingo games are commencing, no children under the age of 18 will be allowed in the studios. Please do not bring in any children with you, including infants. If you do not abide by this directive, you will be sent home, and you will forfeit your money and will not be allowed to reapply for a period of one (1) year.
  10. A check will be made out to your group or organization and will be available to be picked up by 12:00 Noon the day after your bingo. Please indicate on your application in which name you want the check made out to.
  11. You will have two (2) weeks from the day after your bingo to pick up your check. If you fail to pick up your check within that time frame, you will forfeit the money.  Please cash the check as soon as possible so our financial reconciliations will not be held up.
  12. We receive many applications per month. Applicants will be placed based on “first come, first served”.  Please submit your application at least 2 months prior to your event.  An application can and may be denied because there is no available date before your event will take place.
  13. If you find it difficult to follow these rules, please do not apply. Please let another group have the chance.
