Set up your first raffle

Creating a raffle takes about five minutes, and you can save a draft at any point.

1. Pick a template

Templates fill in a title, prizes and a ticket theme. Choose Start blank if you'd rather set everything yourself — you can change anything later.

2. The basics

Give the raffle a title, an optional description and banner, and a draw time at least one hour from now. Times are shown in your raffle's time zone.

3. Choose how people join

• Stub — print two-part numbered tickets for a party in one room.
• Code — print or send voucher codes; people enter theirs on their phone.
• Invite — only the email addresses you invite can join.
• Open — share a link; anyone joins with their name and email.

4. Visibility and results

Unlisted raffles are reachable only by link. Public raffles also appear on your host page and in search — that needs a verified host. Private raffles show results only to participants.

5. Prizes

List prizes in draw order: the last one drawn is the grand prize. Each prize can use its own draw style on the Stage.

6. Pass and publish

The Free pass covers up to 50 participants. Bigger raffles need a paid pass — see Passes and refunds. Publishing opens entries.
