 | Frequently Asked Questions | |
- Is this legal?
This is our most frequently asked question. The answer is YES (if you follow the rules). Currently, the following organizations can apply for a bazaar/raffle permit with the town in which they want to have the event:- A veterans' organization chartered by the Congress of the United States
- A church or religious organization
- A fraternal or fraternal benefit society
- An educational or charitable organization
- A civic or service club
- Other clubs or organizations operated exclusively for non-profit purposes.
Once you obtain this permit, we can help you run a poker tournament to raise money for your cause.

- How far in advance do I need to start planning?
You should contact us at least 6 weeks prior to the date you'd like to have the event. This gives you time to get your permit, plan the event, and promote it!

- What is the responsiblity of the charity during the event?
We prefer that you provide at least 3 volunteers to help with registration and up to 15 more for dealers. These people will be trained to help things run smoothly. You should also promote the selling of raffle tickets for prizes or a silent auction to increase your fundraising potential.
