The site makes me wonder what the legal situation of raffles with regards to gambling regulations in the US (or anywhere else) is? I know they are popular in schools. Are they are legal without having to acquire any permits, or are they are usually just to low profile to matter?

Please check into the legal implications of this and add some detailed CYA (cover your ass) terms to that page.<p>The way it is set up now is not legale in my province at least. (and most likely all of Canada )<p>Sweepstakes = gambling

Best of luck!<p>Side comment on: Raffle Creator -- while I love the idea I question the legality of it. While looking into doing various contest/raffle apps myself I was always stonewalled with legal issues. IANAL but I believe anytime you cross money with pure luck it is considered gambling and must be regulated.

Not sure if payment page really works. I tried entering a number for tickets and the amount remained $0.
