Post the rules your counsel approves
Keep drawing date, location, terms, and entrant-facing disclosures on the raffle and its public website.
Trust is designed into the records
Related facts. Separate decisions.
Simply Raffles gives the team explicit operational states. It does not decide whether your organization may run a raffle, what disclosures your jurisdiction requires, or which permits and tax rules apply.
Show paid and free paths clearly
The starter setup distinguishes purchased, free alternate, and complimentary entries instead of collapsing them into one unexplained total.
Require real payment evidence
A submitted purchase request remains pending until configured checkout or trusted staff evidence qualifies it.
Draw only from the eligible view
Pending and reversed records stay out of the drawing picker while remaining available for operational review.
Reverse; do not erase
Keep the original entry, the reversal reason, and the corrected replacement as distinct evidence.
Record the winning entry
Link each prize to its winner so notifications and later questions start from the same result.
Your responsibility
Software cannot make a raffle lawful.
Rules differ by organization type and jurisdiction. Confirm eligibility, registration, permits, required disclosures, prize restrictions, taxes, payment handling, record retention, and drawing procedures with qualified advisers before launch.
