Here is some info on raffles: a raffle is illegal if it constitutes a lottery. a lottery involves three elements a prize(s), chance and consideration. In order to deem it legal one of the elements has to be eliminated. Prize cannot be eliminated. Chance can but only by skill(and there are even gray areas on this one). Consideration is commonly eliminated by putting in the clause *"no purchase necessary". Another way to eliminate this is to award prizes to all participants (i.e. the participants are receiving something for their money) Hope this helps:thumbup:
Oh by the way, This does not constitute legal advice, and should not be relied upon to take or refrain from taking any action. Why because im a gambling and raffle addict.

Wow! The Attorney General contacted AZ. I agree with Ross, e-books and downloadable software would be the best choice. Once you make your instructional manual or ever what it would be easy just wait and deliver the ebook or software by forwarding it to all the customers at once.
Each raffle holder will be paying for a digital copy of one of my apps.

It's now a win win for everyone and legal. :thumbup:
This kind of a system here on AZB would work to keep the raffles open. A digital copy of how to shoot a better game of pool. Type it up yourself and when the raffle is over everone gets a copy they paid for. DONE|:thumbup:

if something like this works that would be awesome.
Mike,
Sorry to hear about it. If it is cuecomponents, then every one of his for sale threads should get a link to one of these posts about the raffles.
Second, let people run auction style sales. Change the category to auctions and let those types of sales be allowed. In this economy, probably a good incentive to sell/buy.

BkylnJava has put a lot of effort into this. Great job! Looks great! I like the familiarity of the vBullentin and the added protection offered by BkylnJava. I think that both sites should be kept up as an option. Because of the work that went into making it happen. It would be a shame for a person to have to do all this work for nothing. What may work better for one person may not for another.

I'm not sure who cuecomponants is but what was the motivation to want the raffles stopped??? I enjoyed the option although i still have my raffle cherry. Wish i could have broken it with the hercks choice raffle.

raffle poll is over, LP custom Cues site was chosen by a majority vote.
So AZ members have a new option for their raffles.
Lee's site is advertisement free so no worries here about data tracking or third party software.

Already a few raffles in progress.
Hopefully this will keep the raffles as popular as they were before the unforseen circumstances presented themselves.

Buddy,
The jerk that opened his mouth is still selling on AZ... Unfortunately...

While I could care less about the raffles, the reality is that unless being run by a certified (through the originating state treasurer) non-profit, raffles are considered a game of chance and therefore gambling, and unlicensed gambling is illegal.
What is making the situation for the raffles worse is that the items being raffled, more often than not, are a money making venture for those holding the raffle. You can not make a profit from a raffle.
The true spirit of the raffle is gone anyways....as they were originally intended as a way to raise cash for a charity or non-profit, and not as a means to sell in an alternative fashion all while booking a profit.
I, personally, tend to shy away from illegal activities.
