Raffall launched at the end of 2015 and is owned by Raffall Limited. It's different to other sites that we've listed as this is a platform for individuals or brands to run their own pay to enter prize draws. Raffall simply act as a middle man and manage the ticket sales process. In simple terms it's like eBay but for raffles. It's free to create a prize draw but Raffall will pick up a commission for being the hosting platform. Our blog on Raffall covers more detail. The platform came to the fore in the early 2020s when it became the destination of choice for individuals running win a house competitions. There have been over 140 house competitions since although the success rate - i.e. creating actual house winners - has been low.

What Prizes Are On Raffall?

The prizes listed on Raffall vary from property, not just here in The UK, but also overseas, gadgets, vouchers and pretty much everything in between. Since we wrote this review the site has had a much needed makeover and prizes are categorised making prize draws slightly easier to discover. You can see draws by travel, sports, technology, vehicles, property, cash and other categories. When you find a prize draw that you might wish to enter you simply click to the dedicated competition page. On there you should find details about the prize on offer, the closing date and costs. You'll also be able to see the host of the promotion. It's worth clicking through to get more details about the host, other draws they're running and more importantly what draws they've run before and if they've been successful.

How To Enter Raffall Prize Draws

If you want to enter a selected prize draw you will need to register with Raffall, login and then click the green "enter" button. You'll then be asked a question which is usually an easy multiple choice one. Select your answer and then pay to complete your entry. Once entered you'll be able to see how many tickets have already been sold for that particular competition. The number of tickets to be sold in order to guarantee the prize and the price per ticket varies from draw to draw. As of June 25 you could spend from 50p up to £35 in the cash prize category for example. Some draws will also offer discounts to early birds plus free tickets. The free tickets are not included in the required number for the prize to be awarded If all tickets are sold by the closing date then the prize is awarded. However if insufficient tickets are sold then Raffall will pay out a cash sum. This is usually 75% of the total ticket sales but for house competitions it may be 50%.

Do People Win On Raffall?

Hop on to the winners page at Raffall and you'll see pages and pages of completed competitions. If a raffle sells enough tickets then it's up to the promoter to fulfil the prize delivery. An eBay style rating system is in place so that the winner can leave feedback on their experience. This section has also had a makeover so you can filter winners by Winners with Photos/Videos, Recent Winners, Largest Prizes and Most Popular. The latter two sections are pretty much the same as they include house prizes. One thing that the winners page doesn't indicate is whether a particular draw actually sold sufficient tickets and if the winner received the designated prize. However sometimes the winner - who can leave feedback - will indicate the outcome. The winners section also allows you to review who's won any prize draws you've entered.

Responsible Play & Other Reviews

As far as we can see there are no references to responsible play on Raffall. There is an extensive FAQ explaining how the site operates but there's nothing referencing responsible play. Although these aren't requirements we would like to see options for entrants to set spending limits, cool off or self exclude. Reviews on Trustpilot tend to be favourable towards Raffall. Over 70% of reviews are 5* with many saying the site is easy to use. On the flipside the less favourable reviews are from people saying they had trouble using the site. As is always the case some of the 1* reviews are simply from people saying they've not won!

Our Verdict

Raffall stands out in this sector because it's different to the likes of Elite Competitions, McKinney, Bear and 7 Days. They're simply the provider of a platform so that people can run their own pay to enter draws. However the success of these draws are dependent on the host having an active audience or them doing sufficient marketing to get enough sales. A lot of hosts just assume a listed draw will result in ticket sales. Frustratingly you don't know how well a draw is doing (or not doing) until after you've purchased a ticket. It's a useful platform for those looking to running pay to enter prize draws but we'd like to see a bit more quality over quantity.
