BIG NEWS FOR raffle based fundraising in NEW YORk

7/11/2018

0 Comments

 
As of 2018, non-profit organizations in New York state can host raffles online and on mobile apps, like RafflesNow. 

In the past, state laws restricted raffle events to in-person, cash-only transactions, therefore limiting the possible pot size drastically. However, payment via checks and credit or debit cards are now accepted and encouraged as raffles hosted in New York can now take place online

​The Charitable Gaming Act, signed by Governor Andrew Cuomo, is a step towards reforming antiquated laws surrounding raffling. The bill reverses past laws that prevented online raffle sales and will help groups such as fire departments, Rotary Clubs, public libraries, Boys and Girls Clubs, and many more to capitalize the amounts of funds raised for non-profit causes.

For the time being, New York organizations hosting an event on RafflesNow will only be able to conduct a raffle between participants within the state. As New York takes steps towards modernizing state rules for charitable gaming, RafflesNow will continue to provide a quick and straightforward platform for New Yorkers to take advantage of their new fundraising liberties.
