Be careful folks.
Running a raffle is illegal without a licence, even if it is for charity.
The Bar owner will be liable if there is a denuncia.
Also, anything with playing cards or bingo style is illegal, even if it is free.
This is absolutely reliable information.
We have ceased any games of this type in our bar.

There will no doubt be discussion from the usual suspects on what I have written. Don't be lulled into a false sense of security. Check with a lawyer first. It isn't worth it. I know people who have recieved extraordinary fines, in the name of raising money for charity!

Spanish law is extremely prohibitive where gambling of any kind is concerned. Moreso than in the UK.
