Laws governing raffle tickets in Texas are outlined under Chapter 2002 of the Texas Occupations Code section titled 'Charitable Raffles.' This chapter also is known as the Charitable Raffle Enabling Act. The act defines what constitutes a raffle ticket and organizations qualified to sell them. This guide provides an overview of the resources available online and through our library pertaining to the Texas laws on raffles, contests, and sweepstakes. The guide links to the laws as well as to other resources that discuss contests, sweepstakes, and raffles in “plain English,” which can be easier to understand than complex legal language.
In both the United States and Canada, all types of fundraising raffles are considered to be games of chance. Consequently, they are very tightly regulated and failure to adhere to state raffle laws is considered a serious offense.
In the United States, raffles (as well as lotteries and other forms of gambling) are controlled by a combination of state and federal law. That means that whether you're able to run a raffle, and what you have to do to ensure that raffle meets all legal requirements, varies depending on where you are located.
If you have any doubt about the correct procedures, do not rely on anybody’s word but a government official or a lawyer knowledgeable in these matters. Get it in writing if its not available online.
In many areas there may be more than one governmental body that has jurisdiction over a fundraising raffle. It is always good to check your state/province/territory and your local government for any necessary licenses and permits.
In almost all cases an application for a license must be made to the governing unit. This application and the resulting permit may takes weeks or months to process and receive.
Do not proceed to hold a fundraising raffle without having the necessary paperwork in hand.
United States
Each state in the United States sets their own rules for fundraising raffles. Some have very relaxed rules while on the other extreme, a few states do not allow fundraising raffles in any way, shape or form. Alabama and Hawaii both ban raffles outright.
Almost all states and local governments require certified nonprofit status to be eligible to conduct a raffle.
