TICK-TOCK, TICK-TOCK Goes the Pennsylvania Small Games Of Chance Accountability Clock

Good afternoon!  Today is August 7^th and exactly 219 days into being accountable for SGOC activity for PA Non Liquor license holders and 38 days in for PA SGOC Liquor license holders. 

If you read my blog from last week then you know that additional discussions involving 2 of the more popular Small Games Of Chance laws (HB290 and HB1098) will not be scheduled to occur until at least September 30, 2013.  That does not mean either of the Bills will be scheduled, only that they could be. 

July 2013 is gone and we are now a week into August.  If you are on the fence on whether to check out the Sienna Database System, please know that you can get your system current with your SGOC Activity by entering your business SGOC activity from July 1 up to the current date or from January 1, 2013 for Non Liquor license holders. We will help you get started when we train you and your staff on how to use the system.   Our system also comes with a series of “How To” videos that show you step-by-step how to enter and edit your SGOC activity into the system. 

We will soon be releasing SDS 2.0!  Our prices will slightly increase with the Release.  However, if you order before we officially release version 2.0 (Tentative Release date is September 19^th) you can get SDS 2.0 at the SDS 1.0 price.   Also, we are awaiting test results from our latest round of testing with the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue.  If we met all of the State requirements we will be only the Small Games of Chance Reporting system approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue!  Please note that our Non Liquor license version (SDS Ultra Lite) is in BETA testing now and is also expected to be available beginning September 19th.

Please check out our Facebook page where you can see a list of what is new in Sienna Database System 2.0 (SDS 2.0).  Also our You Tube page is being updated weekly with new “How To” videos.  See for yourself how easy it is to use the system by checking out the videos.

One final note:  If you are thinking that you can get by without reporting your activity, you are wrong.  You will not get your SGOC license renewed when you apply for your license next year.  You MUST accompany a copy of the report you filed with the PA Department of Revenue when you apply for your SGOC license in 2014. 

Take advantage of paying for the SDS System by using your Gross Proceeds (BEFORE the 70-30 split).  This is your chance to use your SGOC Gross proceeds to purchase an invaluable tool to help whoever in your business is recording your SGOC activity.  They will literally save hours of time a week by using the SDS System.  

There is NO better system to assist you in being Accountable for your Small Games of Chance Activity.
