Lawyers specialising in occasional raffles

The organisation of raffles, whether for a vehicle, a watch, a computer or a mobile device, is a completely legal activity as long as it complies with the regulations established by the “Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego” (DGOJ). At Letslaw we have a team of lawyers specialised in occasional raffles, with extensive experience in obtaining the necessary authorisations and in managing the entire legal process involved.

Our firm will accompany you through all stages of the process: from drawing up the legal bases, creating the ballots, obtaining authorisation from the DGOJ, to the subsequent management of the raffle.

Organising a raffle is an excellent tool to reward your customers or raise funds for a charitable cause. However, it is essential to comply with the current regulations to avoid legal problems. At Letslaw we have achieved numerous success stories in obtaining the necessary authorisations for raffles. This allows us to have a deep understanding of the particularities and requirements of each type of raffle.

Legal aspects to take into account when organising a raffle

1. Administrative authorisation: it is essential to obtain prior authorisation from the DGOJ to carry out any raffle.
2. Notarisation: the raffle must be carried out in the presence of a notary, who will attest to the act on the date stipulated for the celebration.
3. Legal bases: it is essential to draw up clear and detailed legal bases that regulate all aspects of the raffle, such as the date of the celebration, the prize offered or the price of the ballots, among others.
4. Publicity: the promotion of the raffle must be carried out in a transparent manner, providing participants with all the necessary information about the raffle and its conditions.
5. Taxation: raffles are subject to various tax obligations. Specialist advice is essential to ensure compliance with applicable tax regulations.

Having the support of a team of lawyers specialised in the conduct of raffles to ensure that the raffle is carried out in strict compliance with legal regulations minimises risks and avoids potential disputes. The organisation of a raffle can generate significant benefits, both financial and in terms of image for the organiser, so this compliance is key to guarantee the validity of the raffle and prevent claims from participants.

At Letslaw we are committed to providing you with the necessary legal advice so that your raffle is carried out with total transparency and legal security, ensuring the success of your project.
