Are there different types of raffles?
The state of Michigan has two types of raffles for regulatory purposes. One type is governed under the state’s Bingo Act (“Bingo Act raffles”). The other type is called a promotional raffle or game promotion and must meet a different set of state law requirements. At the University, raffle questions arise in three types of settings. These are: research incentives, fundraising, and activity promotions. Fundraising raffles must comply with the Bingo Act.
