That most likely means it against STATE LAW. to hold raffles or other types of gambling. Most states put RAFFLES in the same category as CASINOS, Horse Tracks, etc.
In Iowa, raffles fall under the gambling issue. HOWEVER, you can apply with the secretary of state for a raffle license. It cost very little, and there are special tax forms to be filed after the raffle is over. A bit of paperwork to make it legal, but not overwhelmingly so.
