How Does Hosting Raffles Work?

The process is simple:

✅ Set up your raffle – Choose a prize (cash, tech, bundles, experiences – anything you like!) and create your listing on Raffall.
✅ Design your raffle page – Create professional banners on Canva to give your page a polished, trustworthy look.
✅ Promote your raffle – Grow your own social media pages, tap into influencer networks, or even set up affiliate partnerships where others promote your raffle and earn a small commission.
✅ Sell tickets – Set a ticket price (e.g., £1 each) and work towards your target number of sales.
✅ Profit – Once your raffle ends, the winner is automatically drawn, and you collect your earnings minus Raffall’s small platform fee.

Who Can Benefit from Hosting Raffles?

Hosting raffles is ideal for:

Let’s Talk Numbers: How Much Can I Earn?

Here’s an example:

  • You list a £500 cash prize.

  • You sell 1,000 tickets at £1 each.

  • You make £1,000 revenue.

  • After the 10% Raffall platform fee, you’re left with £900.

  • £900 - £500 prize = £400 profit — for a relatively small amount of effort!

But what if you don’t sell all your tickets?
With a Pro account, you’re protected. If you only sell 100 tickets (£100 revenue), instead of losing money, you simply pay out 50% of the revenue (£50 prize) and still keep £50 profit.

How to Maximise Your Success:

  • Pick a niche – Focus on a theme (e.g., tech gadgets, beauty bundles, travel prizes) to attract a loyal audience.

  • Use Canva for pro-looking banners – High-quality visuals build trust instantly.

  • Offer bundle deals – Give people discounts if they buy multiple tickets at once.

  • Add a simple entry question – A small challenge increases legitimacy and excitement.

  • Donate a percentage to charity – Giving 5–10% of profits to charity can seriously boost conversion rates and trust.

  • Run a few smaller raffles first – Build up your positive reviews and reputation on the platform.

  • Promote smart – Partner with influencers or create affiliate deals to get others helping you sell tickets.
