Impact on Libraries
Nonprofit organizations utilizing a small games of chance license to conduct raffles are currently prohibited from selling those raffles online or accept any payments other than cash or check.
This legislation would allow a properly licensed nonprofit organization to accept payment via credit card, debit card, or mobile payment (eg Apple Pay, Venmo) in addition to cash or check. It will also make it legal to conduct and reveal the winner of raffles on their accessible website, social media, or app. It would be illegal to accept online payments from persons who live outside of PA.
