Why Tip-Based “Free” Platforms Cost You More

Platforms like Zeffy, Givebutter, and RallyUp advertise as free by asking donors for optional tips at checkout. The problem isn’t that they charge — it’s how they charge, and what it does to your conversion rate.

The hidden cost of “free”

  • MSupporter reaches checkout and sees a 15–30% tip added to their total
  • MThe tip opt-out is buried or confusing — many abandon instead
  • MYou lose 30–40% of potential buyers at the final step
  • MAs tip fatigue grows, opt-out rates increase — netting you less each year
  • MCash and check entries tracked in separate spreadsheets
  • MManual reconciliation errors on event night

Zero Fee
$0, Zero, Zilch, Nada

A 12% supporter-paid service fee is shown transparently at checkout. Your organization receives 100% of every ticket price. Payments via Stripe.

Built for Real Raffles.
Not Generic Ticketing Tools.

Most platforms started as donation software, event ticketing, or auction tools — then bolted on raffle features later. Chance2Win was built from day one to solve the specific problems nonprofits face when running traditional raffles at scale: hybrid entries, compliance structure, transparent drawings, and the kind of support you actually need on event night.

From the People Who’ve Run the Raffles

“The night before our drawing we had hundreds of paper tickets spread across three spreadsheets and no one could confirm how many we’d actually sold. We switched to Chance2Win the following year and ran the entire event from one screen. We raised $34,000 and the drawing took twenty minutes.”

Maria R.

Volunteer Coordinator — Community Foundation, Ohio

“We tried a platform that used the tip model. Our first online raffle pulled 31% abandonment before checkout. We switched to Chance2Win mid-campaign, relaunched with the transparent service fee, and our abandonment dropped to under 3%. The phone number alone is worth it — they picked up on event night.”
— David K.

Fundraising Director — Youth Athletic Association, Florida

“We run a Queen of Hearts every week. We needed something that could handle the progressive jackpot, online presales, and a physical drum draw — all without me doing Excel math at 9pm. Chance2Win handles all of it. I don’t know how we managed before.”
— Susan T.

Frequently Asked Questions

K
L

Can nonprofits legally run raffles online?

Yes — but raffle laws vary significantly by state, county, and organization type. Most states allow licensed or registered nonprofits to run raffles with proper disclosures and registration. Chance2Win is designed to support compliant raffle structures, but your organization should always confirm requirements with local authorities or legal counsel before launching. See our state-by-state raffle law guide for a starting point.
K
L

What's the difference between Chance2Win and free platforms like Zeffy or Givebutter?

"Free" platforms like Zeffy and Givebutter rely on optional donor contributions (tips) at checkout to cover their costs. When donors opt out — and tip fatigue is accelerating — those platforms deliver less revenue than projected. Chance2Win uses a fixed, disclosed 12% supporter-paid service fee on the Zero Fee plan. Supporters see it before they commit. No tip prompts, no surprise additions, no 30–40% abandonment. Read our full Chance2Win vs. Zeffy comparison for a side-by-side breakdown.
K
L

Can we sell raffle tickets in person and online at the same event?

Yes — this is one of the features that distinguishes Chance2Win from general-purpose platforms. Cash payments, check payments, and online purchases all enter a single unified drawing pool. There are no separate spreadsheets and no manual reconciliation. Every ticket is numbered automatically. Learn more on our hybrid raffle solution page

K
L

Does Chance2Win support basket raffles with separate prize pools?

Yes. Basket raffles (also called tricky trays or Chinese auctions) are supported with separate ticket pools per prize basket. Buyers choose which baskets they want to enter. This works for fully online events, in-person events, and hybrid combinations. Each pool draws independently so there's no confusion about which entries are eligible for which prizes.
K
L

Are raffle ticket purchases tax-deductible for our donors?

Generally, no. The IRS treats raffle ticket purchases as non-deductible because the buyer receives something of value in return — the chance to win a prize (a quid pro quo transaction). Separate donations your supporters make may be deductible when properly substantiated, but raffle ticket purchases themselves typically are not. Organizations should consult a tax advisor for guidance specific to their situation. Chance2Win does not provide tax or legal advice.

K
L

How long does it take to set up and launch a raffle?

Most organizations launch their first raffle within a day. You configure your prizes, ticket pricing and bundles, draw date, and rules — then share your raffle link. The Chance2Win team is available by phone at 813-699-9325 to walk you through setup, and we're available on event night if anything comes up.

K
L

Does Chance2Win support Queen of Hearts progressive jackpot raffles?

Yes. Queen of Hearts is one of the most popular ongoing raffle formats Chance2Win supports, with progressive jackpot tracking, weekly draw management, and hybrid ticket entry for organizations that sell tickets at events and online between draws. The format builds donor loyalty over time and consistently drives repeat purchases.
K
L

What payment processors does Chance2Win work with?

The Zero Fee plan processes payments through Stripe. The Premium plan supports Stripe, Square, and Authorize.Net — giving organizations flexibility if their bank, auditor, or state regulator has processor preferences. This matters for nonprofits in states with specific processor requirements or for organizations that already have a Square account they're running other events through. See our full payment processing overview.
K
L

Is Chance2Win better than free raffle platforms for traditional in-person organizations?

If your organization runs traditional raffles — with tickets sold at events, cash and check payments, and supporters who expect a straightforward buying experience — yes. Free tip-based platforms are optimized for online-only donation events. They don't natively support cash/check entries, basket raffle pools, or Queen of Hearts formats. Chance2Win was built specifically for the raffle formats traditional nonprofits run. See our full guide: Best Raffle Software for Nonprofits
