We are having a raffle for a $250,000 home to fundraise for our 501c3 non-profit  Humane Society here in North Carolina.

  

I know that gambling is not permitted through PayPal, but I also read where an organization can receive special permission to sell raffle tickets, etc. if everything is legal.  We have consulted a lawyer to make sure that we are doing everything legally and have worked out all of the fine details to make sure everything we do in this raffle is legit. 

 

There are other payment systems on the internet (like PayPal) that will allow us to use their service for our raffle, but we have already been doing business with PayPal and prefer to stay with them.

  

Any suggestions or help will be appreciated.
