S 1605 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the internet sale of raffle tickets

This bill changes rules for selling raffle tickets online by stating that internet raffle sales are considered to occur at the location of the selling organization (not where the buyer is located). It requires online raffles to be conducted within the municipality where the organization is based or in a neighboring county. This directly affects nonprofits and organizations selling raffles online, clarifying their licensing requirements. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
