Fairly new Patreon member for Swindled and, based on the updated McDonalds Monopoly episode, I’m scrolling through old posts and downloading what I haven’t heard. Saw this and am supporting not for a gift, but am aware of the difficulties of raffles - the legalities I’d which are unknown by many. Paying for a game of chance is considered gambling in many states and subject to gaming regulations. I know it’s a bummer, but I’m impressed Patreon has this high standard.

Rules are stupid.

I think it has something to do with gambling laws. It’s all good. We’ll figure something out.

Wow, that is pretty absurd! I would have shot them an email back and said actually you need to revise your terms of service. Does Patreon get any part of the money I pay to subscribe to you? If so I will cancel it and pay you the money directly via Paypal or something...

I hope this does not affect the $500 tier. I am really looking forward to that Bahamas trip!
