Hi all, Im new here. Found the forum as Im interested in learning more about online raffles and looking for any advice! I build websites, community based sites to be specific. Im currently working on one that is a real social site, chat rooms, games, chat roulette, etc etc... focus on fun and friends! I was thinking about some kinda members pool where each month a lucky site member gets the pool fund! Site would keep a small portion of it to maintain the site and develop etc... but most would go to winner/s I was thinking 2 ways to do this and wanted to know if anyone knows the legal side to either? 1 - charge for a raffle ticket. The pool grows depending on how many tickets are sold. 2 - charge for site membership, then have a free monthly draw for site members randomly 3 - as above but winner based on some skill competition... Its all just for fun, but could be a nice bonus for a member each month. Any ideas on whats legal and whats not? Site would be UK owned, hosted on USA servers if that makes a difference...! Thanks - daihlo
