They are running it to benefit a registered charity so they should be ok. Fairly sure if it's run online they need to register with their local authority. Could easily be wrong though. Tempting to enter regardless. Quote
Matt P Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 i saw this last night, from what i could see it is clearly advertised as a raffle for a charity, I hope it is all above board as i bought 2 tickets! Matt Quote
peteb Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 If Chris is involved I'm sure that it will be kosher! I bought a couple of tickets last night. Quote
Kev Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 Amazing thing for Chris and Alex to do, and the mini-Makos are lovely little basses as well! Quote

I don't think you need a license either, unless it reaches a Threshold, which is definitely some way above what Chris will get here. Have full faith that Alpher will know exactly what they are doing Edited January 14, 2021 by Kev 2 Quote
walshy Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 Aye I bought tickets too. Great guys down at Alpher. 3 Quote
