Gambling

Organized gambling in North Dakota is strictly controlled. According to North Dakota Century Code 12.1-28, gambling is defined as “risking any money, credit, deposit, or other thing of value for gain, contingent, wholly or partially, upon lot, chance, the operation of gambling apparatus, or the happening or outcome of an event, including an election or sporting event, over which the person taking the risk has no control.”

Small, private gambling games are permitted on campus given that no individual contributes more than $5 in currency or assets per event or hand, the game in question is equal and fair, and no person receives a pre-determined commission or ‘cut’ of the gambled assets in exchange for hosting the event or other provided service related to the gambling instance.

No organized or large-scale gambling of any kind may take place without the prior approval of appropriate University officials to ensure appropriate state and University statutes are observed.
