No, not legitimate. It's classed as gambling and you need a licence. Also against FB rules so if it's reported then it will get pulled.
Just look it up on google

I think everyone who bids on these things realises its gambling. If they dont they're not too bright eh.

From what I understand reading the gambling commission ruling on raffles is that, unless the proceeds go to a registered charity you need a license to do a raffle, so doing raffles for personal profit is illegal without a license.

There's one on FB at the minute, Carp Gear Giveaways.....they have a set of 3 Technium MGS, £8.99 per ticket, 299 tickets available.....which means the raffle will yield £2,668.01.....a set of 3 Mags would cost circa £1,650, probably a good bit less if you shipped around.
Nice profit!

These raffles are rife on facebook, not just fishing gear. Not sure how they get away with it unless of course they are registered with the gambling commission or are giving proceeds to charity.

I think most of the legit raffles have an option to post the entry for free, usually postal entry is made free of charge to comply with gambling rules etc, that way it becomes a 'competition' and avoids gambling regulations. The current one on facebook with the jag pod can be entered for free by post as opposed to paying the entry fee digitally
edit- infact the carp gear giveaways raffles can be entered for free if you check the t's and c's.

Carp bonus 2 is the one I'm on at the minute, bloke takes anywhere between 15-20% from the ticket sales but donates to charity's etc......

I actually won some good rods for 10 pounds but also think or at least looks like people are putting out fake numbers and getting some quick cash in with a really small risk of actually giving anything away...
