Raffling wine, bourbon, cigars, or firearms?
Stripe and Square both prohibit alcohol, tobacco, and firearms in their terms. Both of them. In practice, most wine, bourbon, and cigar baskets run start to finish and nobody notices. Firearms get noticed more often, though not always. We had an antique firearm raffle run six weeks on Stripe before it was flagged. Two more weeks and it would have finished clean.
When it does happen it is weeks in, after real money has been collected, and it is a bad day.
If you would rather not find out, there are two paths that allow these categories in writing. Flux Payments works on either plan. Fortis, connected through the Authorize.net gateway, works on Premium. A merchant account through your own bank may also allow them, since Authorize.net is only a gateway and the rules come from the account behind it. Plenty of bank accounts allow these categories. Plenty do not. Ask yours, or call us at (813) 699-9325 and we will tell you what we have seen.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get my raffle live?
Most raffle websites are built and live within one business day once your organization is approved and your raffle details are submitted. The approval step verifies your 501(c)(3) status through the IRS, that's the step that protects your organization and ours. You'll need a connected payment processor account before tickets can go on sale. If you already have Stripe, Square, or Authorize.net set up, that part is fast.
Do I need technical skills or a developer?
What's the difference between Zero Fee and Premium?
Both plans are free to your organization in the sense that you never write us a check before you raise money. The difference is who pays for the raffle website, and how. With Zero Fee, a fixed 12% service fee is added at checkout and paid by your supporters it's fully disclosed, not a hidden tip. With Premium, your organization pays a software fee ($329 to start) and has the option to pass an 8% charge to supporters, but if you do, that money goes entirely to your organization, not to us. Premium also unlocks Square and Authorize.net. Full details at our pricing page →
Can we accept cash and check ticket sales alongside online orders?
Yes and this is a genuine differentiator. Chance2Win supports hybrid raffles where cash sales, check payments, and online purchases all flow into the same unified drawing pool. This means every ticket buyer, regardless of how they paid, has an equal chance at the draw. No other major raffle website does this correctly. Competitors support card-present Stripe Terminal, but they have no mechanism for entering cash or check sales.
Can we run a basket raffle with Chance2Win?
Yes, true basket raffles with multi-pool ticket allocation are one of Chance2Win's core capabilities. Buyers purchase a ticket balance and distribute their tickets across prize baskets. Premium baskets can require 2 or 5 tickets per entry, auto-deducted from the buyer's balance. You get three drawing methods: digital random draw, printable ticket sheets (with buyer name, email, and ticket number printed), or CSV export. Full basket raffle details →
What payment processors do you support?
Chance2Win connects to Flux Payments, Stripe, Square, and Authorize.net. Zero Fee runs on Flux or Stripe. Premium adds Square and Authorize.net. This matters for two reasons: (1) some organizations already have Square or Authorize.net accounts and don't want to set up a new processor, and (2) wine, bourbon, cigars, and firearms are prohibited by Stripe and by Square in their terms, so those events need a different path. See below.

Is there a contract or long-term commitment?
What if we're not sure our state allows online raffles?
We're not attorneys and we don't provide legal advice, but we do know where the common compliance friction points are. Some states (including Colorado and Kentucky) require certified electronic drawings for certain raffle types; we offer a printable paper ticket mode as a compliance-aware workaround for those situations. We'll flag any concerns during your onboarding review. For a general overview, see our raffle laws by state guide → and always consult your local gaming authority or a licensed attorney before launching.
