Q7. How do I enter information for bingo, raffle, and pull tabs online?

To add or remove games after you have started a filing, first click on "Save" at the bottom of the screen so that you don't lose any information that you have already entered. Then click on "Change" at the top of the page, next to "Games this quarter", to add or remove games.
