Gaming Compact Approved by Law

The 2025 Amendment to the Lac du Flambeau Band and State of Wisconsin Class III gaming compact is considered approved and took effect on March 10, 2026 because the Secretary of the Interior did not act within the 45-day review period under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA). The approval is only effective to the extent the Amendment is consistent with IGRA.

Fee and Disaster Payment Clarifications

The Amendment revises wording to make the regulatory fee provision and the disaster relief payment calculation clearer; these changes take effect on March 10, 2026. If you operate or rely on the Lac du Flambeau Band’s Class III gaming activities, the method for calculating regulatory fees and disaster relief payments has been technically changed and rephrased for clarity.
