The PA BLCE published new and
updated Schedules for all SGOC licensees.
As of this blog post (April
27, 2014), The bottom of the PA BLCE SGOC page still has a message stating
they are reviewing recent changes, however it appears they posted their
interpretation and as previously reported in this blog, the PA BLCE
interpretation is 'in-line' with the PA Department of Revenue's published
interpretation.
What’s old?
You will want to ignore the last document listed on the site
as it appears to be an older version of the Bureau’s interpretation. The document references of $5000 max payout
and keeping winners information for prizes $101. These totals are no longer accurate. The current total requirements are stated in
the first pdf file listed which is the ‘Explanation of SGOC Schedules”.

What’s new?
The Schedule 3 description clearly states (as does the PA
Dept. of Revenues) that licensees requirement for recording prizes in excess of
$600. I personally know of many
organizations that are still recording the winners over $100. Please note that you can continue to record
the winners information for the over $100 winners if you wish, however the
requirement is now greater than $600 so you do not have to keep winners
information if it is not greater than $600.
