Internet raffle

[Doug]

What legal issues would I have to face if I wanted to hold an internet raffle. Like I would sell tickets on the net and there would be a jackpot that would grow depending on how many people bought tickets. I have a feeling that there is a lot of legal issues involved in this though.

[chromate]

Yeah, most likely. Not sure of the specifics though. To do something like this, I would recommend speaking to a lawyer as your first port of call.

[Chris]

Lots of legal issues. I would talk to a lawyer about it but it'd be basically gambling.

Some of those sites listed might give you some help.

[Doug]

Thanks, It will probably get too complicated so I probably will just forget about it.

My advice to you is to get yourself two domains and some hosting... I can offer free hosting for just a text link if you have domains for your sites (the domains must have DNS).

[Kyle]

Why two domains?

Why two domains? I think he is talking about the two sites in Doug's signature that do not have a TLD.

[Doug]

That would be cool, I need some domains, and I also need to work on my sites a lot more since they look like they were made by a third grader.
