Are organizations required to obtain a raffle license from their city, town or village clerk?
Prior to the conduct of any raffle, an organization that has received a games of chance identification number must submit to the municipal clerk a completed “verified statement” (form GCVS-1) listing the dates of the organization’s scheduled raffle drawings. A copy of the GCVS-1 shall also be submitted to the Racing and Wagering Board. If at the end of the calendar year the organization derived net profits of less than $30,000 from the conduct of raffles, a second completed “verified statement” (form GCVS-2 ) shall be submitted to the municipal clerk listing the raffle activity of the organization. A copy of the GCVS-2 shall also be submitted to the Racing and Wagering Board.
