Is it legal to sell raffle tickets in advance for a large alcohol prize

[DrMadelineMaxwell]

Under the licence as a public house?
The local pub is offering £150 worth alcohol in a raffle which will possibly be popular but I thought it wasn't legal to sell raffle tickets in advance as a pub or to have that as the only event they are doing (but could sell them as a small part of a larger event for example).

Probably just trying to find a way to keep the business afloat. Hardly up there with robbing pensioners, no doubt some misery will close it down if it is.

I really couldn't get worked up about this in the current climate.

I really couldn't get worked up about this. So many pubs are going to go out of business because of this.

Can’t see the issue here, participating isn’t mandatory.

I'm not worked up. Just curious.

And it's being held as a charity fundraiser so wouldn't report it or anything.

Is it effecting you in any way? What's your concern? What would you intend to do about it if it's not legal?
