As of this month, Montana non-profits will have an easier time using gambling to raise money.
“Effective October 1, non-profits that have registered with our department can sell raffle tickets online,” said Angela Nunn from the Montana Gambling Control Division. “The second piece of that is that they can also sell raffle tickets outside of Montana, which under the previous law was not allowed.”
The changes were approved by the 2017 legislature in Senate Bill 25, which was brought by Representative Mark Blasdel.
