Please read regarding Lottery/Raffle Prize draws

[Ion_Paintball]

I may have got the wrong end of the stick but it says;

A genuine prize competition is one that contains a requirement to exercise skill or judgement or to display knowledge and where it can reasonably be expected that that requirement will either:



(a) Prevent a significant proportion of people who wish to participate from doing so (section 14(5)(b) of the Gambling Act 2005 Act); or



(b) Prevent a significant proportion of people who participate from receiving a prize (section14 (5) (a)).



If either one of these barriers to entry or success can be shown, the process will not be deemed to rely wholly upon chance, and the arrangement will not be a lottery.


So from that if Prevent a significant proportion of people who participate from receiving a prize is true, (which it is becuase only one person will get a prize from the number) then it is not a lottery...

right or wrong?

Wrong

Because everybody has an equal chance of winning then it is lottery

Because there is no skill question

eg
Who owns PGI-Online?

1. Robinho
2. Robbo
3. Roberto Carlos

It is not a prize competition

Because the money goes for private gain it is illegal

A Charity lottery auction is legal but due to the nature of this forum, not something we are going to run or allow, without serious consultation.
