The iDonate online raffle platform

Raffles are one of the simplest ways to raise real money for a cause — and online raffles remove the printing, the ticket books and the door-to-door selling.

Set your prizes and ticket price, share your page, and let supporters buy tickets from their phone wherever they are.

How it works

From idea to winner in three simple steps.

  1. Step 01

    Create your raffle

    Add your prizes, set your ticket price and draw date, and brand the page as your own. Our creator walks you through it in about 10 minutes.

  2. Step 02

    Share your link

    Post your raffle link on WhatsApp, social media and email. Supporters buy digital tickets from their phone, wherever they are.

  3. Step 03

    Draw the winner

    Track sales in real time, export your full entry list from the dashboard, run your draw and announce the winner on your page.

Why organisers choose iDonate raffle platforms

Everything you need to launch, sell and report on a raffle.

Live in about 10 minutes

Our raffle creator walks you through prizes, ticket prices and draw dates. No physical ticket books, no printing, no chasing stubs.

Digital tickets, sold anywhere

Supporters buy tickets straight from your page and get their entry by email — so you can sell to anyone, anywhere, not just locally.

Make it yours

Customise your raffle page with your own branding, images, prize list and story so it feels like your cause, not a template.

Reporting you can act on

See ticket sales, top sellers and entry numbers in real time, and export everything you need for your committee or board.

No setup fees

There's no registration or setup fee to run a raffle — you only pay the standard, transparent platform and transaction fees.

Secure and verified

Payments are processed securely and organisers are verified, so entrants know exactly who they're supporting.

Organisers love running raffles with us

“We sold more tickets in the first weekend online than we did in a month with paper books. The dashboard told us exactly who sold what, and the draw took minutes. We'll never run a raffle any other way.”
