63.02 Purpose. The legislature declares that:
(1) All phases of the conduct of bingo and raffles, except
bingo games using free cards and donated prizes for which no payment
of consideration is made by participants, should be closely
controlled by appropriate laws and rules which should be strictly
and uniformly enforced throughout this state.
(2) The conduct of bingo, raffles and all attendant activities,
except bingo games using free cards and donated prizes for which
no payment of consideration is made by participants, should be so
regulated as to discourage commercialization of bingo and raffles
in all forms and to ensure the maximum use of the profits of bingo
exclusively for proper and legitimate expenditures.
(3) It is a matter of statewide concern to foster and support
proper and legitimate expenditures and to prevent commercialized
gambling, participation by criminal and other undesirable
elements and diversion of funds from usage for proper and legitimate
expenses.

Thanks Doug! I took the ad down as there will more than likely not be enough time between now and then to get the license approved and there are a lot of other factors that will take forever to work out.

With this having a campaign involved we wouldn't want to do anything illegal even in the slightest way.

Mike, feel free to remove this thread

Yes I did and I talked to someone at the Department of Gaming.
A license is required for "ALL" raffles, everywhere.

A minimum of three weeks is required for approval of the license, no exceptions.

Good call, thanks for the info
