What exactly is restricting us?

    You told us we should probably take it up with the state legislature, so what exactly can we be talking to them about?  Is it multiple regulations, or one in specific?

     

    Much appreciated.

    Well when we said take it up with them we weren't exactly expecting you to take us up on that.  I can get the exact "legal reason" for you but long story short in the restricted states the laws are not exactly written for the 21st century.  The concept of Raffstar is new and fresh, the biggest hiccup is those states require us to "register" ever prize we are offering to any person in that state and do it so many days prior to the start  of the giveaway (usually 30 days).  For most "traditional giveaways" that is fine because they do one a or two prizes a year, but for us when we have 20 at a time and are adding new ones everyday it makes it nearly impossible for us to register our prizes especially 30 days in advance.  The reason we still allow you to create an account is because we feel in the future we will at least be able to offer you limited prizes that we have advance knowledge of and can register them with the state.  Hopefully my 12AM jibberish helps you understand a little more... Any thoughts?

    I just changed my zip code to a family member that lives in a different state, now I can get tickets.  I'll just have the prize shipped there!
