Raffles & 50/50
Turn one prize into a whole crowd's buy-in.
A raffle turns one good prize (or a growing cash pot) into a whole crowd's buy-in. Supporters grab entries for a few bucks, we handle the tracking and the provably random draw, and the energy does the rest. It's the easiest way to add dollars and noise to any game or event.
A low, impulsive price means almost everyone plays, and plenty grab the bigger pack.
The pot splits with the winner, so your take grows automatically as more people join.
Automated entry tracking, a random draw, and instant winner alerts. No bucket of paper tickets to reconcile.
Use it when
When teams run a raffle
50/50 at home games
The classic. Sell entries in the stands all game, draw at the final whistle, split the pot with a lucky fan.
A big-prize raffle
Line up a standout prize (a smoker, a getaway, courtside seats) and sell entries for weeks leading up to the draw.
A season-long ticket push
Athletes sell entries to their networks over weeks; the longer runway means a bigger pot and a bigger night when you draw.
Alongside another event
A quick raffle at the tournament or fun night gives everyone a cheap way to chip in beyond what they already paid.
The goods
Prizes that move tickets
You don't have to buy them. The best raffle prizes are donated by a local business happy for the exposure.
- A getaway: a weekend cabin or a hotel package
- Big-ticket toys: a smoker, a kayak, the latest tech
- Experiences: courtside seats, a suite, a round of golf
- Gift-card bundles from local restaurants and shops
- A signed jersey or team memorabilia
Two ways to run it
50/50 or a prize
Two flavors of the same easy buy-in. Pick based on whether you've got a great prize or just a great crowd.
50/50 cash
Game-day favoriteBest for A live crowd
No prize to source: the pot IS the prize. Winner takes half, your team takes half, and it grows on its own as entries roll in. State rules apply, and we keep you inside them.
Prize raffle
Best for A weeks-long sell
One irresistible item pulls entries from people who'd never buy into a cash draw. Perfect when a local business donates something big and you want a longer campaign.
How it works
Up and running in three steps.
- 1
Put up a prize or a 50/50 cash pot and set your entry prices
- 2
Sell entries online and at events: athletes can sell too
- 3
We draw a winner at random and notify them automatically
Illustrative example
A hockey team runs a 50/50 at three home games. Fans buy $5 and $20 entry packs on their phones and the pot hits $1,900. The team keeps half ($950) for three nights of almost no work.
Example scenario only, not a reported customer result.
