The raffle draw will take place on the scheduled date and time no matter how many tickets have been sold. If you provide the prize to the winner then we will transfer the proceeds from ticket sales to you. If you decide not to provide the prize to the winner then we will pay the winner a cash compensation amounting to 75% of the ticket sales and you will not receive any money
All raffle tickets that contain the correct answer to the entry question or puzzle are entered into an automated draw where our system selects winners at random.
You will receive an automated email from us providing you with the winners name, contact information and ticket details.
An automated email is sent to all entrants immediately after a draw has been made, requesting that they check the status of their tickets.
The winner has the option to dispute the raffle if they didn’t receive the prize or if its not as advertised. If this happens a member of our Disputes Team will open an investigation and for this reason it’s important that you keep tracking receipts and/or proof of shipment/delivery in order to build a stronger case in your favor. Until now we’ve never encountered this scenario as winners have no incentive or motivation to lie about not receiving a prize because they didn’t actually purchase it.
Once the raffle has ended and the winner has ‘accepted’ the prize we will process the payment and send you the proceeds from ticket sales. Payments are typically made within 48 hours unless previously agreed.
