Testimonials
"Ohio's experience with electronic pull-tabs has been excellent. Since the legalization of electronic pull-tabs, the Ohio State Moose Association has seen charitable gaming donations increase yearly. This has enabled us to donate to multiple charities within our state, including police departments, fire departments, food banks, children’s programs, schools, school sporting programs, and a whole lot more. That’s not all—in addition, our membership increased from 96,680 in 2021 to 101,804 in 2023.
Annual giving to Moose Charities from our 90 Ohio Lodges has jumped from $1.2 million in 2021 to an anticipated $3.6 million in 2024. Total charitable donations by Ohio Lodges this year have exceeded $7.5 million.”

“I wholeheartedly endorse using electronic pull-tab devices (e-tabs) in charitable gaming. Since receiving approval for e-tabs, our financial success has been remarkable, with our earnings skyrocketing. Our general account has experienced a substantial surge. This has also boosted our charitable giving and has empowered us to enhance our contributions to the community.
E-tabs have proven to be a crucial catalyst, enabling us to elevate our backing for law enforcement, the local community, and veterans.”
— Angela W. S., Treasurer and Gambling Administrator, Elks Lodge 257, Middletown, OH
“In March 2022, we got on the bandwagon with electronic pull-tabs. It grew and grew in popularity. Our gross receipts this past summer were generally up over the same month of the prior year by 20 percent.
August 2023 was up over August 2022 by 23 percent in gross receipts. Gross receipts for paper pull-tabs were up four percent, while electronic pull-tabs gross receipts were up 134 percent. That's big-time growth! Electronic pull tabs are bringing in more money for our charitable purposes. We donated $22,000 to good causes in September 2023, mainly due to the electronic pull-tabs success in August 2023.”

“Electronic pull-tabs have been a game-changer for us, boosting our monthly gaming revenue from $6,800 to $15,000. These funds have allowed us to repair and renovate our facility and enhance our community's well-being. Historically, we have donated $43,000 annually to the community; today, we donate $64,000 to support organizations like food pantries, homeless shelters, local schools, active military aid societies, and veterans charities. Electronic pull-Tabs are transforming our town.”
— Bill M., Finance Officer, American Legion Post 572, Parma, OH
"We're endorsing electronic pull-tabs (e-tabs) as a fundraising tool. Once authorized by the attorney general, we promptly integrated e-tabs into our operations. Since then, our annual net earnings have risen to $250,000 from virtually zero. Our general account has grown from $400 to $200,000, facilitating improvements to our facility. We've seen increased community donations, supporting Junior Fair Awards, The Bowling Green Boom, Boy Scout and Eagle Scout Awards, and contributions to VFW's Voice of Democracy and Patriot's Pen competitions. E-tabs have significantly contributed to our financial stability and community involvement."
— Dick Z., Quartermaster, VFW 1148, Bowling Green, OH
“Electronic pull tabs (e-tabs) have significantly impacted our community. Since we introduced them 18 months ago, our club has grown considerably. We now have 1,791 active members, up from 1,241.
One of the best things about e-tabs is the money they bring in. With this extra money, we could remodel our club, something we could only dream of before. But it's not just about our club—it's about helping others too. In the past year and a half, we've given over $200,000 to different groups we care about. It's essential to know how much things have changed with e-tabs. With e-tabs, we've been able to do so much more. They've changed the game for Moose 2236, helping us do more for our community and making a more significant impact.”
— Bob H., Administrator, Moose 2236, Hilliard, OH
“E-tabs, or electronic pull-tabs, have changed the game for us. They've brought in more members and helped us give back to the community in a big way. We've seen more young people coming in lately, and it's been fantastic. Since we got the green light for electronic pull-tabs, our donation fund shot up from $104,018 to $148,558 in just a year and a half, showing an increase of $44,540.
This fund boost has allowed us to do some cool stuff for our town. We're ensuring the local fair stays fabulous by chipping in to buy animals yearly. We're also giving $10,000 yearly to a local scholarship fund, helping students kick-start their futures. But it's not just about that. We're also helping local businesses spruce up their historic buildings. It's all about making our town look and feel great. Also, with the extra money it has put into the daily operational fund, we've spiced up our club too! E-tabs have been a game-changer for Wapakoneta Eagles 691. They're not just helping us financially, but they're also letting us do more for our community and the surrounding communities.”
