online raffle platform

Chance2Win is an online raffle software built specifically for nonprofit organizations. Unlike general fundraising tools that added raffles as an afterthought, Chance2Win was designed from the ground up for raffles — supporting every format nonprofits actually run, including traditional drawings, basket raffles, Queen of Hearts, 50/50 raffles, duck races, ball drops, and hybrid events that combine online ticket sales with cash and check entries in one unified drawing pool.

Traditional raffles work.
The admin shouldn’t break them.

After helping nonprofits run raffles for nearly two decades, the Chance2Win team has seen the same problems come up again and again. The raffle idea is great. The execution gets messy.
📋 Paper tickets going missing the night before the drawing
🌙 Volunteers managing spreadsheets until midnight
💸 Cash sales with no way to track who paid what
😤 Duplicate ticket numbers printed from two different books
🤷 No record of the winner’s contact information
📵 Platform support goes to a chatbot at 9 PM the night of your event

“We had hundreds of paper tickets spread across three different spreadsheets the night before our drawing. No one could confidently confirm how many we had actually sold.”

— From the Chance2Win Support Line · A real call from a real nonprofit organizer

Situations like that are more common than most people realize. Raffles often start simple but quickly become complicated once ticket sales grow. That experience is exactly why Chance2Win centralizes ticket tracking, payments, and reporting into one organized system.

Built Before You Launch – Not After

Other platforms let you set everything up yourself and hope it works.
Chance2Win reviews your organization first and builds your raffle properly so you don’t run into problems after tickets are already being sold.

Chance2Win does not run your raffle. Your organization manages the fundraiser. We provide the infrastructure your team uses to run it correctly

Every Raffle Type Your Nonprofit Actually Runs

Most fundraising platforms support standard online ticket sales only. Chance2Win supports every format — including the ones that raise the most money.

The drawing pool belongs to your organization — not the payment processor

Cash, check, and manually entered ticket sales can be added to your pool alongside online purchases. Every entry — regardless of how it was paid — is included in the same drawing. This is a structural capability, not a workaround. Platforms built on Stripe-locked architecture cannot do this. Their drawing pool only includes online purchases.

Which pricing model is right for us?

Both are free to your organization. The difference is who covers the platform cost, and where each one wins.
K
L

Zero Fee or Premium how do we choose?

If avoiding any upfront cost is the priority, choose Zero Fee, your organization pays $0 and supporters cover a fixed 12% service charge. If you want the cleanest possible checkout and better fee efficiency on larger raffles, choose Premium and pay a fee starting at $329.
K
L

When does Premium beat Zero Fee?

Roughly once your raffle crosses about $8,000–$10,000 in gross ticket sales. Below that, Zero Fee is usually hard to beat. Above it, Premium’s flat fee typically costs less overall than the 12% supporter charge. Not sure? Our team will run your numbers. see full pricing details
K
L

What exactly is the 12% on Zero Fee?

A fixed, fully disclosed supporter service charge shown separately at checkout, with card processing included. Your organization pays nothing and keeps 100% of the ticket price. It is never a hidden or variable amount.
K
L

Will supporters get hit with surprise fees or tip prompts?

No. Every charge is shown before payment, and we never use pre-checked tip prompts the single biggest driver of checkout abandonment on “free” tip-based platforms.
K
L

What is the optional 8% on Premium?

On Premium you can add an optional supporter service charge of up to 8%. When you do, your organization keeps 100% of it, it does not go to Chance2Win. Or leave it at 0% for the cleanest checkout. Learn more about every raffle type on our online raffle hub.

Why the pricing model matters more than the price

Most nonprofits focus on platform cost. The data shows checkout abandonment has far more impact on final revenue than platform fees.

Pricing Model Cost / Charge Checkout Abandonment Revenue Impact
Chance2Win Premium $329 to start. Optional 0 to 8% supporter charge, org keeps it. ~0% incremental Baseline. Maximum revenue
Chance2Win Zero Fee Fixed 12% supporter charge, disclosed upfront ~1 to 2% incremental Negligible loss
Tip-based platforms 15 to 30% variable tip prompt (often pre-checked) ~30 to 40% abandonment Lose 30 to 40% of would-be buyers
Real math on a $20,000 goal: Zero Fee delivers roughly $19,800 to your cause (~1% abandonment). Tip-based platforms at 30–40% abandonment deliver roughly $12,000–$14,000 on the same goal. Tip-model abandonment based on Baymard Institute unexpected-fee research and comparative checkout data. Individual results vary.

When The Platform Gets Out Of The Way

A few years ago, a gentleman called us about running a small fundraiser for children in need. He was incredibly humble about it. Their charity operates out of a small church in a worn-down little town — the kind of place with maybe two stoplights. They were planning a Fourth of July picnic fundraiser and hoped the raffle might raise a few thousand dollars for the kids they support.

Honestly, we figured $6,000 or $7,000 would be a win.

Then the raffle launched. Supporters started sharing it. Orders came in from outside the town, then outside the state, then from all across the United States. When the dust settled:

17,369 TICKETS SOLD
$351,100 RAISED FOR CHILDREN IN NEED
#1 DRIVER: TICKET BUNDLE PRICING

Over the years we have run fundraisers for NFL players and organizations that promised millions. Many of those celebrity campaigns raised a tiny fraction of what this small church raised — sometimes 1% or less. The difference was not fame or marketing budget. It was belief in the cause, and a platform that did not get in the way.

When things go wrong at 9 PM, you need a phone number

A caller named Lori needed help with her live raffle. Support asked for the raffle name. She did not know it. Support asked for the organization name. Eventually it came out that the raffle was not on our platform at all. Her platform had no support phone number — so she found ours and called hoping we could fix a competitor's site.

A nonprofit had their account suspended mid-campaign by their platform for selling restricted prizes. No warning. No phone number to call. They found us, transferred their ticket data manually, and relaunched the same week. The campaign finished strong. The original platform never called back.

We've run so many raffles over the years that we honestly stopped counting. What we never stopped doing was answering the phone.

Frequently Asked Questions

K
L

Chance2Win free for nonprofits?

Both Chance2Win plans are free to your organization. The Zero Fee plan costs your organization $0 — a fixed 12% service fee is charged to supporters and shown clearly before purchase, not revealed at checkout. The Premium plan starts at $329 upfront with an 8% platform fee that covers the platform and credit card processing. Neither plan uses tip prompts or surprise fees at checkout. See full details at chance2win.org/pricing/.
K
L

What types of raffles does Chance2Win support?

Chance2Win supports traditional online raffles, basket raffles, Queen of Hearts progressive raffles, 50/50 raffles, duck race fundraisers, ball drop fundraisers, and hybrid raffles that combine online and in-person ticket sales in one unified drawing pool. Most fundraising platforms support only standard online ticket sales and cannot run basket raffles, Queen of Hearts, or hybrid events with cash and check entries.

K
L

Can we accept cash and check ticket sales alongside online sales?

Yes. The drawing pool belongs to your organization, not the payment processor. Cash, check, and manually entered ticket sales can be added to your pool alongside online purchases — all entries are included in the same drawing. This is a structural capability. Platforms built on Stripe-locked architecture cannot do this. Their drawing pool only includes online purchases, which means cash buyers at your event are left out.
K
L

Why do some platforms lose 30–40% of ticket buyers at checkout?

Platforms that use tip prompts at checkout introduce a moment of friction where supporters must decide how much to tip on top of the ticket price. When the default tip is pre-checked at 17–29% and requires active removal, a significant percentage of buyers abandon before completing the purchase. For church and community events this abandonment reaches 30–40% based on Chance2Win's checkout modeling and Baymard Institute research on unexpected fees. Chance2Win uses a fixed disclosed service fee shown before purchase — not a tip prompt — which reduces abandonment to 1–2% incremental above normal ecommerce baseline.
K
L

Does Chance2Win support multiple payment processors?

The Premium plan supports Stripe, Square, and Authorize.net. This matters for nonprofits selling restricted prizes, where certain prize categories require payment processors that explicitly permit raffle transactions. The Zero Fee plan uses Stripe only. If you have questions about which processor is right for your event, call us at (813) 699-9325.

K
L

Can we print physical raffle tickets?

Yes. The admin dashboard supports printable blank and pre-filled tickets. This is useful for events where paper ticket distribution is part of the fundraiser experience, or in states where the drawing must be conducted with physical tickets. See our Raffle Laws by State resource for state-specific compliance guidance.
K
L

Is online raffle fundraising legal?

Most U.S. states permit nonprofit organizations to run raffles, but rules vary significantly regarding licensing, registration, ticket pricing, and how drawings must be conducted. Some states require certified electronic drawing systems. Chance2Win provides all the tools to manage your raffle website — confirm your specific state's requirements with a qualified attorney or your state's charitable gaming office before launching. See our Raffle Laws by State guide for general guidance by state.
K
L

Does Chance2Win offer live support?

Yes. Chance2Win provides U.S.-based phone support staffed by people who have spent nearly two decades helping nonprofits run raffles. Phone: (813) 699-9325. Most platforms in this category offer no phone number — support is handled by AI chatbots or overseas callback queues. When something goes wrong the night of your event, you need a real person who knows raffles.
