How Many Tickets Should You Issue?

The simple answer: Issue as many tickets as your state's fundraising caps allow, unless you specifically want to limit tickets for exclusivity. This approach lets you maximize your fundraising potential while staying compliant with regulations

What Are Fundraising Caps?

Fundraising caps are state-imposed limits on how much money you can raise from a raffle compared to your prize pool value. They exist to:

• Ensure fair fundraising practices

• Maintain reasonable odds for participants

• Protect consumer interests

• Regulate charitable gaming

For example, if your state has a 5x fundraising cap and your prize pool is worth $10,000, you cannot raise more than $50,000 from ticket sales.
