Monkey Queen Raffle, by LJCal on Sept 29, 2023 16:54:07 GMT 1, These guys are raffling an unsigned Monkey Queen for £25 a ticket and a thousand tickets being sold. Full disclosure I sold them the print. Seems like not a bad concept obviously plenty have gone before. Anyone have experience of these raffles or run one?

I remember the lotteries for the super cars they used to run be presumably they had a gambling license. It’s based out of Canada so presumably they have a different legal frame work |

Monkey Queen Raffle, by Wanchope on Sept 29, 2023 22:36:35 GMT 1, Also in the description it says 153/750 and that’s what the coa shows but further down in the description it states it’s 66/750. Maybe a typo …..

charity is fine
it’s for profit raffles without competition aspect that are illegal in UK
But it’s very rarely enforced loads get away with it!

Monkey Queen Raffle, by The Greased Piglet on Oct 1, 2023 11:06:37 GMT 1, they’re only legal if you have a gaming license. I’ve seen a few recently where they are giving away expensive houses and so on. I expect unless you’re making millions it’s not worth the effort to get a gaming license as it’s an expensive and time consuming process.

E.g. buying a ticket to 'win' a drink at events without an alcohol licence. That wouldn't work.

Not true, you don’t need a gambling license for a prize competition In the UK you are meant to have a Gambling Commission Licence, if there is a cost to participating and the proceeds are likely to exceed £20k in one go, or £150k over a 12 month period. You are also meant to have measures in place to prevent children and vulnerable others participating. |

I remember the good old days of 'winning a drink of your choice' for the cost of a raffle ticket at pop up parties/raves. In fact if my memory serves me well that's how the bar at Santa's Ghetto was run. |

Research prize competitions, they are basically lotteries but do not require a license theres endless companies doing it in the UK |
