<DIV>Utah Friends of Basset Hounds was also threatened with a shut down of</DIV>
<DIV>our account for selling the Corvette raffle tickets through Paypal. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would like to think that if you are a licensed charity you would be exempt from</DIV>
<DIV>the "gambling" thing, but apparently not. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We did the same thing as Wendie with Bowling for Bassets tickets--we</DIV>
<DIV>just put "2 games of bowling, dinner and 1 ticket" on the website--</DIV>
<DIV>explained it was a raffle ticket for the prize drawing another place and</DIV>
<DIV>in member emails.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The biggest thing is--do not have anything on your button or any</DIV>
<DIV>attached description about raffle or prizes or anything refering to "gambling". </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>One of our members put in the remarks on our general donation button</DIV>
<DIV> "for 5 Corvette raffle tickets" and that did it, they "caught" us. </DIV>
