Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I would not accept 400$ to settle out of court. Imagine if I bought a lotto ticket, managed to win the jackpot, and then they offered me my 1.25$ back? Of course, no one would accept that given the risk they took and managed to win.

Here's an idea, I'll deal cards and if you win, I'll give you the chips you bought back but if I win, then I keep all the chips. Who wants in?

Settling for the $400 and letting Ty set the precedent that he can do this to other people is the wrong resolution IMO.

I think the legal circumstances, and as a result the finances, are very intertwined in this case. The IRCF would love to disavow connections, but I think the states may say different. We'll see.
I've sent out emails to California, Arizona, and Florida this afternoon, will start on links to newspapers tomorrow.

Again, as the first post here clearly displays, Ty solicited people to get involved with his fundraiser, not the organization involved, with his post stating "How many of you would be interested if "I" ran an online raffle...". And, "I would pay the winner $3000 out of my own pocket". HE IS RESPONSIBLE...PERIOD!

My point? The OP entered a contest as a result of the solicitation of Ty, with promise of animals Ty produced and money out of Ty's pocket as a last resort. This is Ty's puppy, not ICRF

But the raffle was for their Benifit the tickets sold were 100 each and money's went to them and they pulled the tickets.
They did have some involvement
And ty raised $14,510 from this raffle that they held.
IMO if ty isn't gonna step up the IRCF should because one of them should make this right.
Someone asked me an intersting ? Today. They asked me if I knew what genders the other winners that did get their t+ albinos were. As far as I know the 3 others were males.

The only way that they could help would be to give an albino tegu to Michelle, because the $3,000 was offered on Ty's part, and was to come from his personal funds.

But the problem is that it is illegal for him to have a raffle if he is not a non profit and pulled the proper licenses. So essentially all the people that paid for the tickets were played.

YOU didn't know it was illegal. You were solicited by Ty. You were promised animals or money by Ty. YOU HAVE PROOF OF THAT! Present that case.
