On the gambling point, there was a raffle going on another message board, I frequent. Paypal however somehow figured it out, that it was for a raffle, and forced the payment returned, or suspension of the account. They ended up selling forum stickers, for $5 each, and that auto put you in the raffle. That way you did pay for something.

Call it a pool of funds, every donater gets their turn to realise some benefit...you're just doing some longer term RC investing...

Considering how alot of you responded with I never win anything, we can just call it a donation. That is not gambling. I'm in Brian, but I gave up on using Paypal so I would have to have our bank BoA send you a check for my DONATION. Sounds like a good idea to me, and the RCM gift certificate is something that all of us could use somehow.

I'm in. I honestly don't think it will be very hard at all to get around the raffle license. Just simply say you're buying something from them as someone mentioned earlier in the thread...

The only problem I see is this: everybody wants to do this raffle, which means nobody will want to host it, since that would make them ineligible to win, unless there is some sort of online raffle service that is controlled by someone outside of RCM so that even though one person from RCM is in control of the paypal account, they are not in control of choosing who's the winner.
Other than that, I'm all for it! |

A word to the wise- if you send the money as a gift under the "personal" tab there are no fees.

I think we should ask Mike before this goes forward. And maybe a post outlining the complete terms.

i think it would be cool but needs to be thoughtfully planned as i can see alot of people participating and raising a pretty big pot real fast, perhaps multiple prizes each drawing to spread the wealth and keep fun with more people winning stuff.
