I am running a licensed raffle and wondering how do you post this competition and where are the best places to promote it?

Self-promotion is against the rules here, so you're not allowed to post a competition that you're running.3

Thank you but it is a fundraising raffle for a charity called Prospect Hospice, so I don't think it is self-promotion.-1

It is classed as self promotion because as you said…RetroClassic said:Thank you but it is a fundraising raffle for a charity called Prospect Hospice, so I don't think it is self-promotion.I am running a licensed raffleI’m sure if your site is easy to find then the competition will be posted in the correct place as long as doesn’t cost more than the £2.10 limit for purchase necessary competitions

You could try advertising this via social media, most of the groups I know only allow for free competitions/giveaways but I'm sure there will be some places you can advertise the raffle, you could send it out on your charities email newsletter, social media channels, local Facebook groups if they allow it - each group will have different rules.RetroClassic said:Thank you for the info, and my mistake on the wording.

Sadly you cannot advertise it here - self promotion also covers sharing competitions for someone you know or are involved with.
I understand this is for charity but I believe a blanket ban is on this.
There used to be a thread for charity fundraising but I think this was removed too, due to the number of people miss using it.
If you are unhappy with this answer, you could try asking the forum team themselves, to clarify:
