FAQ:
Who can participate in the raffle?
The raffle operates under a gaming license from the Province of Ontario. Only Rally participants who live in Ontario can sell the tickets, and only to buyers who also live in Ontario. We're exploring the possibility of expanding to other provinces for future raffles.
Do raffle ticket buyers get a tax receipt?
No they do not. A raffle is considered a game of chance, and not a charitable donation. The funds will still go toward the Rally participant seller's fundraising page, but a tax receipt will not be issued to the buyer.
When will raffle funds show up on my fundraising page?
Funds from raffle tickets sold through your link will be updated to your main fundraising page each week by 5pm on Friday.
