Fundraising Caps

What Are Fundraising Caps?

Fundraising caps are state-regulated limits on the total proceeds you can raise from raffle ticket sales. These caps vary by state and are typically calculated based on your total prize value.

State-by-State Caps

No Fundraising Caps

The following states have no restrictions on maximum proceeds:

  • New South Wales (NSW)

  • Western Australia (WA)

  • Tasmania (TAS)

  • Northern Territory (NT)

States with Caps

Queensland (QLD) & South Australia (SA)

  • Cap = Prize Value × 5

  • Example:

    • Prize Value: $2,000

    • Maximum Proceeds: $10,000

Victoria (VIC)

  • For prizes under $20,000:

    • Cap = Prize Value × 6

  • For prizes $20,000 or more:

    • No cap applies

Australian Capital Territory (ACT)

Two-tier system:

  • Prizes under $10,000:

    • Cap = Prize Value × 5

  • Prizes $10,000 or more:

    • Cap = Prize Value × 10

How Our System Manages Caps

Automatic Calculation

Our system:

  1. Calculates expected gross proceeds:Expected Proceeds = Average Ticket Price × Total Ticket Count

  2. Compares against maximum allowed proceeds

  3. Flags potential cap breaches during setup

How we calculate your average ticket price

  • System uses our historical data for ticket buyer purchasing tendency to calculate your average ticket price

    • Accounts for buying pattern that most purchasers choose larger ticket packages

  • Adds conservatism to prevent breaches

Handling Cap Issues

If You Receive a Cap Warning

You have two options:

  1. Remove Affected State

    • Edit your state selections

    • Remove state where cap breach occurs

    • Maintain current ticket structure

  2. Reduce Ticket Count

    • Navigate to Edit tab

    • Reduce total ticket count to suggested number

    • System will provide recommended count

Flexible Management

For situations where you are selling more individual tickets than expected or not approaching cap as quickly as projected:

  • System can increase ticket count near end of raffle

  • Based on actual sales patterns

Example Calculations

Queensland ExamplePrize Value: $1,000 Cap: $1,000 × 5 = $5,000 If Average Ticket Price = $5 Maximum Tickets = $5,000 ÷ $5 = 1,000 tickets

ACT Example (Large Prize)Prize Value: $15,000 Cap: $15,000 × 10 = $150,000 If Average Ticket Price = $10 Maximum Tickets = $150,000 ÷ $10 = 15,000 tickets
