+tsunrisebey Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 UGH! I'm not even going to bother arguing about this but let me state for the record; it's illegal to raffle (sell tickets) in Montana. If you read my thread, nothing was ever mentioned about tickets until AFTER the reservations closed. I did this as a way to say "thank you" and have some fun. No one had any idea I was going to give away special versions and I didn't even decide to do this until the last minute when submitting the reservation versions to the mint. No one paid for any tickets and no one knew I was going to give some freebies away. I'll just leave it at that, if someone wants to take my birthday away over this, go ahead I don't mind. tsun Quote Link to comment

NO ONE was excluded! EVERYONE who read her thread was given he opportunty to buy a coin (or two). perhaps the answer is for Steph to make a XLE coin for everyone on the forum "consideration" ??? I have to call my corporate attorneys and see what that is oh, I'd better calm down...just returned from AVATAR; we should ask the sky people to return to their planet... lol Edited January 23, 2010 by Pastor_B Quote Link to comment
+murphyrulez Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 She was talking about www.skype.com - it's a free way to text chat/video chat with anyone around the world.

+murphyrulez Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I stand by my statement. It officially is considered a drawing - not a raffle. The pool consists of her current customer base. Nothing wrong with that. Please be aware that raffles are not allowed in these forums. IF you wish to run a raffle on your own website, you can do that, but we don't hold raffles in here. There are laws regarding raffles, and they differ by state and by country. It's not a raffle, nobody purchased a ticket. The tickets were given away as a bonus. Actually you did when you purchased the coin. By having the drawing limited to those who bought the coin it excludes those who did not spend money. This is a legal/regulatory issue called "consideration" IIRC. It may seem like overkill for somebody who just wants to reward people with a nice gift for buying something, but it's why Groundspeak doesn't allow raffles, sweepstakes, etc. to be done on the site - there's too much involved.

+Droo Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 It's sadly ironic that it's perfectly okay to solicit donations for a charity with the promise of coins (that for have yet to be received 3 months later) but a surprise ticket cointest is ... well, cointested!! I know it's tough to see the big picture when you're focused in on details and you're trying to stem the flow of online activities that may or may not be in compliance with the bylaws but this time TPTB stepped in it. Glad to see nobody's perfect!! Quote Link to comment

+opalsns Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Why not do your drawings on your Blog, FaceBook or, Your Store. Put a little note in the package, explaining the ticket, ( although, by now, EVERYONE knows about your Red Tickets , LOL! )and tell them where you will post the results and when.

I'm looking all over my desk, and finally I break down and ask my wife. She says that it's right where I put, under a magnet on the fridge. Doh!
