Title: Raffle hunts
Post by: Skyvalhunter on February 14, 2023, 03:14:56 PM: Anyone on here been fortunate or lucky enough to win one of those big game hunts? I know I have kicked in some money (not a lot grant you) at a chance to win a hunt but haven't been successful. Been getting lots of emails, letters and asking if I want to purchase a super tag ticket lately. The value of some of these stone sheep(60k), Nevada elk 22k), Utah deer(22k) just have me wondering about the validity of the prices.

I also won a cash prize from Arizona through their state hunting draws a couple years ago and the following year they changed the rules where WA residents can no longer partake in their raffle drawings due to our states bs anti online gambling laws.

WA only wants you to gamble on this states legalized gambling operations that go to fund our politicians deep pockets. No reason other than greed and I'm sure they would allow these online "gambling" opportunities if they could figure out how to squeeze a penny or two out of it for the politicians in Olympia. :twocents:

So what your saying is the $200 i spent last year on Super Tags thru IDFG website would of been invalid if my # struck gold? If so, what a bunch of B.S.

Thanks for the info on this!

If your read the WA law, your comment is not correct. Now would ID come back and say, well our records show your IP address was in WA that the time of purchase? My guess is probably not as I'm guessing that would limit their online supertag application sales and that revenue stream for ID.

Look at the AZ raffles as they are now trying to get around this by having the purchaser certify that are in AZ at the time of purchase. Last year or the year before, they would not even sell to you if you tried to buy online apps while putting in a WA address.

Regardless, we can all agree it's a joke and it's a BS law that is only in place because our state government isn't getting a cut of the online raffle sales in other states. :twocents:
