It's frequent in our country, we have those bingo to play just to raise some funds for a charitable cause.
So it's really depend on the country as well, it could be customary, but for others it could be seen as some form or gambling, or promoting gambling per se. So there are moral ethics as well involved here. Perhaps the answer is that it should be done responsibly so that it won't have a harmful effect with people engaging in this charitable gambling. And if we look at it, still a good tool to be honest for nonprofits. And yeah, it could have been fun as the whole neighborhood is involved.

It’s not something that done in my community but from what I read about it (in the links you shared) I think it will be a fun activity.
If it’s strictly for that neighborhood then I won’t consider an act of promoting gambling but if they decide to extend it and then allow anyone to partake in it then it’s no different from the normal gambling we know. It they still to the postal code then it shouldn’t be able to link to gaming addiction since a house would have a maximum number of tickets they can buy and I’m sure everyone in that house should be able to check and see the number that were purchased.

I have heard about charity gambling before, yes.
I know it is quite a thing in some developed countries, there are some in Europe which use charity gambling as a tool to get some money for good causes, I believe there is actually a casino is Sweden or Finland which is run by a non-profit organization and destine all their gambling profit to charity, inestad of accumulating or re-inventing in their casino/suite.
Instead of promoting gambling and the negative sides of it to people, we could also see it from a different point of view, like good intended people stepping into a market which already exists and attracting gamblers who already have partaken before with casinos for good causes, so it is not entirely negative as some people could believe it is.
Still, I have never gambled for charity and I am quite sure it is not a thing here in my country, we are going through though economic times and there is not much room for charities to collect money from people who already are struggling. Those who have little money and still gamble already could have a favorite casino or bookie anyways.

I know we say intent counts but Gambling is Gambling.
Even if it's for Good cause it doesn't negate the risk of gambling addictions.
Instead of gambling why not directly donate to the charity
This would be better and reduces cost of setting up the gambling platform.
Nope never heard of it, but the name doesn't really change much to me.

What's your thoughts on this? Is it a creative way to raise funds for a good cause? Or will it simply promote gambling?
Others might say that it conflict with charitable values as it linked to gambling-related harm. Have you been in one of this charity gambling in your locals?
One example of this kind of charity gambling is the Dutch Postcode Lottery.

Quote
Charity gambling is a "form of incentivized giving" where a charity (or a group of charities), rather than a municipality or private casino, oversees gambling activities such as bingo, roulette, lottery, and slot machines and uses the proceeds to further its charitable aims.
