How it works

Run the raffle you already run.

FairTransparentRandom

Or start one. A break room, a classroom, a booth on a show floor. Free to host, free to enter, and nothing to pay if you win.

Perfect for office morale raffles, classroom prizes, team rewards, club fundraising, and live events.

The basics

How raffles work

A raffle here works the way the jar on the counter works: people put their name in, and at some point you pick one out. geRaff does the asking, the keeping and the picking, and it never sells a ticket to do it.

1
Pick the kindA raffle people enter over time, or a number you draw on the spot. A raffle gets an entry page; Quick Draw does not.
2
Decide what to ask forIf the people entering are already yours, a name is enough. If the winner might walk away before the draw, ask for an email and geRaff reaches them for you.
3
Name the prizeSet how many entrants and how many winners. Your plan pre-fills the ceiling, so you lower it rather than guess at it.
4
Put the code somewhereEvery raffle gets a page and a QR code. Put it on a screen, a flyer, or the counter. Entering is always free, and it takes a name.
5
Draw it in the room, or announce it onlineYou draw when you are ready. Nobody can enter once the draw starts, and nobody can touch the result. Want it on the room’s screen? That is Showtime, on Pro and above.
6
Hand it overMark it Picked Up when the winner has it.

For hosts

How fulfilment works

Most raffles end the way they always have. You draw a name, you hand someone a prize, and you mark it Picked Up in the panel.

If the winner is not in the room, you have their name, and their email when you asked for one.
If the people entering will not be there for the handover, you have seven days to make contact and arrange delivery.
If you asked for an email, geRaff emails the winner once you mark it sent.
If a winner never responds, you can cancel and re-draw. Once per winner position, not once per raffle, so a raffle with five winners has five. A substitute cannot themselves be substituted.
If a winner has not heard from you, they can always contact geRaff for help. Straight away, or after your seven days if the people entering were not there for the handover.
If it does need shipping, that is at your expense. A winner never pays anything to claim a prize.

Drop Mode

No purchase necessary

Entering is always free. There is no entry fee, no ticket to buy and no donation required, and nobody can buy extra entries or better odds. Hosts pay geRaff for larger raffles and presentation features. That is an agreement between the host and geRaff: it never affects anyone’s chance of winning, and no part of it is paid by the people who enter.
