Sounds good unless there's something else, like they are just using the "charity" as front to do gambling.

To consider the different perspectives on charity gambling is quite interesting. Some might see it as a creative way to raise funds for a good cause, while others could view it as potentially promoting gambling-related harm.
But if we are to consider the actual good of the Charity gambling, the potentials are quite good placing value on the cause of the gamble. In as much as the name tag may be heavy the cause is actually a genuine one. Notwithstanding, one wouldn’t categorize on it cause it’s more like saying. Selling drugs to the society to develop the city is a good cause. Even if it's for a good cause it doesn't negate the risk of gambling addictions. Instead of gambling why not directly donate to the charity.

Do you really think that anyone would consider charity gambling as a potential gambling promotion? I think if something is charity related, it automatically turns everything into harmless or extra light. Because the final result is still oriented on helping others. I doubt that any legal activity can be harmful, if its goal is to raise money for poor.

Because when people part with money, only few can do it without a wish to get something back. A person is unlikely to give someone money for free, but if he gets a trifle, a souvenir, an emotion in exchange, he would gladly give money and give more. For example when a beggar asks for money, people would give him change, mostly coins. But if someone say he is rising money for pet shelter for example, and offers to buy a glass of lemonade for $10 (what is very expensive), people would buy it.
