  • Legalities on Raffles

    I was cruising a classified and seen a raffle someone was putting on for a car. If they sold all the tickets it would have equaled 200k. It got me thinking, is it legal in texas for somebody to put on a raffle, that is not for charity/particular cause ?

    Why wouldn't it be? Could see someone getting in trouble selling raffle tickets to someone under 18, but that's about it.

      Do you have any valid reasons it wouldn't be? Not being a smart-ass, I'm actually interested.

        I dont know, I was curious. If its legal I guess the only risk you run is not selling all your tickets and losing your ass on whatever you were raffling.

            That is why you give them Papapepper's phone number on all the tickets.

                If they are using paypal they could run into some issues.

                  Examples of unlawful raffles include any raffle that is:

                  conducted by an individual
                  conducted by a for profit business
                  conducted by a charity that does not qualify

                  It appears you've tried to reach a page that doesn't exist or has been moved. If you need further assistance -- please Contact Us or return to the home page.

                      Are you upset for being an unknowing member of that cultural subgroup, or because he is pointing out the obvious?
