Raffles Licensing Guidelines

  • Student organizations are under the Bellin College license. No separate license is required.
  • We are a Tax Exempt 501C3 entity.
  • We are usually under the Class B raffle license type when tickets are only sold the day of the raffle or at the event. Winner is generally present to win.
  • Each raffle type requires same color tickets. So bucket raffle should have red; 50/50 can have blue.
  • Must give same # of raffle tickets to each person i.e., arm’s length means thirty tickets; you must count out thirty tickets for each person as “arm’s length can be different based on person.”
  • Can do three tickets for $5; eight tickets for $10; and fifteen tickets for $15.
  • Provide total $$ for each raffle type.
  • Report to the Vice President of Student Affairs, Enrollment, and Belonging will need:
    • Name of event; date; total amount organization made; # of raffles held; total amount each raffle made; and what were expenses (price of roll of raffle tickets). Report winnings—for 50/50 amount paid out not who the person was.

If you do a Grand drawing, you must do drawing first so everyone is in it. You can announce it in any order, most save Grand prize winner for last.
