Not sure the best place to post this. I sent a message to the GMs in game and received a generic message saying to post on the forums.

My FC just ran a very successful 50/50 raffle internally with a prize pool of over 3 million gil. We are considering opening our next 50/50 raffle to the entire server. I would like to know SE's official stance on in-game gambling as well as the advertisement necessary to garner interest.

We have a very fair and transparent system that leaves little doubt regarding the validity of the outcome and are willing to stake the reputation of our FC on it. I feel like this is much better than the 1-100 roll gambling from before and can be handled on a much grander scale.
