PA Petition Calls on State Leaders to Protect Nonprofits and Fraternal Organizations Through Skill Games Regulation
Sep 23, 2026
Petition urges Pennsylvania lawmakers to establish a fair regulatory framework that protects nonprofit, fraternal, and community organizations while bringing skill games under clear statewide oversight.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Sep 23, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - A growing Pennsylvania petition is calling on state lawmakers and officials to find a legislative solution for skill games following the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's June 2026 ruling concerning their legality.
The petition, "Keep Skill Games Legal and Regulated in Pennsylvania," is focused on establishing a clear, enforceable regulatory framework rather than allowing the issue to leave nonprofit and fraternal organizations across Pennsylvania facing uncertainty.
Skill games have become an important source of revenue for organizations such as fire companies, veterans' organizations, fraternal clubs, and other nonprofit organizations. For many of these organizations, the revenue helps support community programs, building expenses, charitable activities, and other services that directly benefit their communities.
The petition calls on Pennsylvania lawmakers to work toward legislation that would:
- Establish clear statewide regulations for skill games
- Provide appropriate licensing and oversight
- Establish taxation that benefits Pennsylvania
- Protect legitimate nonprofit and fraternal organizations that rely on revenue generated by these games
- Provide a clear legal framework for operators, businesses, and organizations
- Prevent responsible organizations from being caught in an uncertain legal environment
The petition is intentionally bipartisan and community-focused. This is not an argument for an unregulated gaming industry. It is a call for Pennsylvania to establish reasonable rules, oversight, taxation, and accountability while recognizing the role these machines play in supporting local organizations.
"Pennsylvania has an opportunity to take a complicated situation and create a solution that benefits everyone," said the petition organizer. "We can have regulation, taxation, consumer protections, and accountability while still allowing the nonprofits and fraternal organizations that depend on this revenue to continue serving their communities."
The petition is directed toward Pennsylvania's elected leadership, including the Governor, Attorney General, State Treasurer, Auditor General, members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly, and other officials involved in gaming policy and regulation.
Organizations that support the effort are also being encouraged to formally endorse the petition. Fire companies, nonprofit organizations, fraternal clubs, veterans' organizations, and other community organizations interested in providing an endorsement can submit their organization's name, representative, title, and letter of support.
The petition can be found at:
