How's he getting on with it ? That was a awesome win I know people that have a go but I'm not into 100 quid raffle tickets myself I'm to tight lol Quote
LRF4N Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 There was an R33 with 34 front end conversion that was raffled for 50 quid tickets. The car was in London I think, a guy from up here won it. Was parked next to it at japfest a year before the raffle then saw it up here a couple of times Some people were buying loads of tickets cos they really wanted it, apparently the guy who won it knew nothing about the car and bought a ticket for a laugh 50 quid well spent 1 Quote

He’s only getting rid of it as he’s bought a drag car project and wants to use the funds for that Quote

Nowt against GT-Rs at all, it's giving a reasonable sum of money via unsecured funds to an unlicensed raffle to a complete stranger (granted, I am aware of Jurgen via the industry) that just doesn't seem like the greatest idea in the world. 1 Quote
Jetpilot Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) I thought it against the law to hold a raffle? I fancy a gtr, but i dont fancy my luck enough at a £100 Edited February 25, 2018 by Jetpilot Quote
Ekona Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 It needs to be officially licensed by the Gambling Commission if it's for commercial gain over £20K IIRC, so yes. http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/for-the-public/Fundraising-and-promotions/Advertising-and-promoting.aspx That makes it very clear that lotteries (incl raffles) can only be promoted for good causes, not commercial gain. Not passing judgement here, just stating facts, Quote
nowhereboy Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 Interesting. I can't see a huge reputable Tuner like Jurgen doing anything to risk prosecution. Surely must be a loop hole or something somewhere as loads of tuners do this now?? Quote
Jetpilot Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 Well he isnt really, no one is likely to bat an eyelid or even know a license is required, he may even have said license but not made it public knowledge. In reality the only chance of a prosecution will be if it all goes t*ts up and someone does a runner with the cash. I am sure i have read you can have a raffle but the money needs to be taken on the day of the draw, ive been at loads of raffles at events, i would bet not one has a license. Quote
coldel Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 Or just stick £100 on a 700-1 shot and get the cash to buy a GTR and build it to how you want it? A quick google shows a 1200 for sale last year on the GTR forum for £69k coincidentally. Quote
nowhereboy Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 Might as well just chuck money into the wind really Quote
