1. Our Philosophy

At British Columbia Rugby Union, we are dedicated to providing a safe, secure, and enjoyable experience for all participants in our Percentage Draw raffle. We believe that participating in fundraising events should be an entertaining and fun activity while supporting our community. We promote a responsible approach and offer resources to help participants make informed decisions.

2. Tips for Responsible Participation

To ensure your experience remains positive, we recommend keeping the following guidelines in mind:

• Participate for Entertainment and Support: View this percentage draw as a form of entertainment and a way to support the British Columbia Rugby Union, not as a source of income or a way to recover from financial difficulties.
• Set a Budget: Before you participate, decide on a budget you are comfortable with. Only use funds that you can afford to spend and do not exceed your set limit.
• Understand the Draw: Familiarize yourself with the rules and prize structure. Remember, winner takes half - the more tickets sold, the bigger the prize!
• Keep It in Perspective: Remember that draw outcomes are based entirely on chance. There is only one winner.
• Remember the Purpose: Your participation supports the British Columbia Rugby Union's charitable activities and community programs.

3. Age and Location Requirements

This 50/50 draw is strictly intended for individuals who are 19 years of age or older. We employ verification measures to prevent underage access to our platform. It is illegal for anyone under the age of 19 to purchase a ticket.
