Vendor Licensing

Vendor Licensing Types

The Ho-Chunk Nation Gaming Commission has divided the vendor license into three separate categories:

Gaming

  • Classified gaming vendors who have not previously conducted business with the Nation's gaming facilities will be assessed a fee of $500.00 or two (2%), whichever is greater, according to the gross dollar amount of the initial proposal of business with the Nation’s gaming facilities. At the end of the Nation’s fiscal year, the amount of the fee will be adjusted based on the actual gross dollar amount of business conducted by the classified gaming vendor. 

Non-Gaming

  • Any classified non-gaming vendor, supplier, or general contractor conducting business with the Nation's gaming facilities in an amount equal to or exceeding $100,000.00 in any year will register with the Commission and pay a biennial administrative fee of $500.00. 
  • Non-gaming vendors conducting business with the Nation's gaming facilities in amounts between $10,000.00 and $100,000.00 in any year will register with the Commission and pay a biennial administrative fee of $200.00. 
  • Any classified non-gaming vendor conducting business with the Nation's gaming facilities in an amount below $10,000.00 in any year will register with the Commission and pay a biennial administrative fee of $50.00. 

Exempt

Vendor Licensing Process

Prior to being licensed, a potential vendor must have a CDR (Classification Determination Request) submitted to the Gaming Commission by the on-site facility Purchasing Managers.


Once the Gaming Commission has classified the request, the CDR is provided to the Vendor Licensing Investigators to start the licensing process.


The Ho-Chunk Nation uses Merydyan PRYME as their licensing software and no longer accepts paper gaming license applications.
