Hospice car draw banned on Facebook

It's because of Meta rules about gambling

Hospice is unable to use Facebook for its latest fund-raising campaign because the charity is based on the Isle of Man.

Meta, which runs the social media platform, won't allow Island-based gambling - something they would permit if Hospice was based in the United Kingdom.

Chief Executive, John Knight, says the restrictions are affecting ticket sales for their Christmas draw to win a car.

This annual event generates in the region of £70,000 of income for hospice care and is a major event in their fundraising calendar. 

You can find a link to buy tickets here.
