Can I use the auto-draw for my paid or fundraising events?

Auto-draw is built for the fun stuff — family game night, a party, or any casual get-together where you just want to play and skip the ball cage. It picks the called numbers electronically so nobody has to run the draw by hand.

For paid or fundraising events where money changes hands — charity bingo, anything with entry fees, buy-ins, or prizes — we'd steer you away from auto-draw. Many states require licensed bingo to use a physical drawing method like a ball cage, and some prohibit electronic number generators for those events entirely. In that case, draw your numbers the way your rules require and click/tap to enter them into Dauber HQ manually — you still get the shared display and the phone companion view, you just keep the draw physical and in your hands. (We can't give legal advice or guarantee compliance — you know your event's rules best. And it's your responsibility to make sure you follow your state gambling regulations)
