Refunds Available
On 20th August, Raffle My House released a statement saying that all ticket sales would be refunded. Details about claiming a refund are given on the site. The reason for this decision is because not enough tickets were sold and a cash award may breach Advertising Standards. As a gesture of goodwill, the company have awarded a holiday to Mauritius to one lucky entrant.
It's worth noting that the failure of the competition has been assigned to "Paypal & Stripe pulling out as payment gateways".
