Our Club (private members) wants to hold a casino night to raise money for a local charity. we have no gambling license, so how could we do it without breaking the law and still raise funds?
I’ve heard of pontins doing a fun casino in their pub (over 18’s only) and you were given “play” money, then at the end you used your “play” winnings to buy items at this auction. We want to do our night the same but charge an entrance fee, with the possibility of “buying” extra money.

If I play all freeroll tournaments, and use my winnings to win in pay tournaments, are my winnings legal, since I’ve never made a deposit (and therefore not gambling)?

I want to set up a poker website where the first, second, and third place winners get gift certificates worth $25, $50, and $100. Members would pay a dollar a month to play. Would this be illegal according to U.S. gaming law since it is not, technically, gambling?

I want to charge money, say 1 dollar, to enter a tournament held in my home for Halo 3. Now if i give all the money to the winner, is this gambling in NH? http://www.gambling-law-us.com/State-Laws/New-Hampshire/
If i gain no profit, but these people can still win/lose their money is this gambling?
Thanks for any help.
