Raffle rules in Tasmania
Every Australian state sets its own raffle rules — permit thresholds, fundraising caps, time limits and draw requirements. Here’s how it works in Tasmania, exactly as encoded in the RaffleLink platform (last reviewed 2026-07-10).
Quick answer
In Tasmania you don’t need a permit at all — online raffles are exempt from permit requirements, whatever the size of your prize pool.
No permit threshold in Tasmania
Tasmania takes the simplest approach of any Australian jurisdiction: online raffles are exempt from permit requirements. There’s no prize-pool threshold to watch and no application to file — you can set up your raffle and start selling tickets straight away.
Fundraising caps and time limits
There’s no fundraising cap in Tasmania — ticket sales aren’t limited relative to the value of your prize pool.
There’s no maximum duration for a raffle in TAS — it can run as long as suits your fundraising calendar.
Running a raffle in Tasmania
With no permit to apply for, setup is the whole job — and RaffleLink still holds your raffle to the standard regulators elsewhere expect. Draws run on certified draw software using a cryptographically secure random number generator, the result is sealed into a signed, auditable draw record, and winners are notified automatically. That matters to your supporters even where no permit is required: they can see the draw was fair.
