Some states may require both a gambling and liquor permit for the event.While the laws vary from state to state, most states require that the gambling be for social fundraising purposes, actual money cannot exchange hands, and that there is no real value to the chips with which people gamble. Typically these events have a number of restrictions on how the event can be run, who can participate in the event, whether you can hire outside vendors, and they types of prizes that can be given. It is very important that you review your state laws regarding charitable gambling events.
