Hi Folks are the auctions GONE??
I may have WA-WA'd after I lost a bunch,But never wanted the raffles to go the way of the good sense here :frown: I guess after the mountains of complaining about what someone was charging on "For Sale" this was going to go!

or whoever will listen
these actions will never chase me away I wish we would come up with a selected board whose word would NOT be subject to disagreement PERIOD
(and I would never I repeat never serve on it) ALSO HOW ABOUT A lifetime MEMBERSHIP as I would be 1st in line. I will get my shorts all in a knot and I will have my complaints but I will ***** and shut-up just because of all the folks I can call friends and associates on this list,Steve,Troy,Tony, Jim Baxter, and the closer ones you guys know who you are (Ladies also ,sorry about that Jackie) I am NOT leaving end of story! although just knowing Tommie and Shane and the one and only Phinamole would be enough for me to stay

While I'm not entirely sure what you are saying, I did notice you were asking if the raffles were gone. They are not.....

I started this site to keep them going.

I bet a dollar to a dime the person responsible for this mess was Joe Barringer (cue components)! Of course this is just my opinion!:shocked:

I don't understand how they would be illegal or whatever. same as selling a regular cue, plus its a great advertising tool for any cue maker. both at the poolhall and on here. the cue makers themselves should offer raffles, they would make ridiculous money. They would sell 10 times the cues. literally makes no sense to me, and now ill never own my dream Scruggs.

various state's AG's see raffles as gambling. if a state has indian casinos its even more iffy because states have pacts with tribes and they will do nothing to shoot the golden goose. there are other sites that you can navigate to from Az that still do raffles.

Hey gang, got a note from the Arizona AG's office today about the online raffles. After consulting a local attorney, I have been informed that it would be best if we did not allow online raffles on the site.

I have no proof of this, but I suspect that a certain online cue maker and parts salesman is responsible for this whole issue. Nevertheless, it is what it is.

I will leave this section open long enough for existing raffles to work with people who have purchased numbers and to work out how they want to handle their raffles.

After that, I will be shutting this section down.

PLEASE DO NOT START ANY MORE RAFFLES IN THIS AREA!!

But still want to comment on raffles being banned.
Here in ILLinois bars are now allowed a small number of poker machines (PM). Of coarse the state had the GREEDY fingers in the till.
In the contract of said PM, no raffles are allowed, this includes "Strip Cards" and "Wheels". The reason? It takes away from the income of the PM's. (GREEDY B's)
And yes, bars can have raffles but there's a $DOLL.AR amount in fees. (More GREED)

I can count on one hand the number of times I got in a Strip Card or Wheel but I'm not one to like GREED taking over. Raffles, etc. is minor entertainment, support for the needy and is usually local fun. But what I understand is, it's OK for churches to continue???
