Fund-raising event rules. > Raffles authorized.
Short Summary
This legal document, found in the Washington Administrative Code under the Gambling Commission’s Fund-raising event rules, governs the operation of raffles at fund-raising events (FREs). Licensees have two options for operating raffles: (a) solely under their fund-raising event license, where all aspects of the raffle must be conducted during the FRE and income counts towards FRE limits, or (b) under a separate raffle license, where all tickets must be sold and deposited before the FRE, and the raffle drawing must be held at the FRE. For raffles conducted under an FRE license, specific requirements must be followed, such as not selling single FRE raffle tickets for more than twenty-five dollars, using consecutively numbered tickets, ensuring each ticket has an equal chance to win, and randomly drawing the winning ticket. Licensees must also operate and account for raffles as independent gambling stations at the FRE, maintain records of gross sales, and report all FRE raffle income, prizes awarded, and expenses. These amounts count towards the maximum net receipts authorized for FREs.
