How we know, and what we might be missing

The state-licensed spots above are bars the Indiana Alcohol and Tobacco Commission has endorsed to sell pull tabs: Indiana's Type II gaming law lets a licensed tavern sell pull tabs, punchboards, and tip boards in its bar area, and the state publishes who holds the endorsement. Players in the app confirm what's actually on the bar and add the places any list misses.

A list is honest about its limits: a licensed spot can retire its game, and a bar this page has never heard of can start one tomorrow. If you know a Bloomington spot that's missing or wrong, add or fix it in the free app — that's how the map stays true.
