Frequently Asked Questions About Raffle Website Design
How long does it take to build a raffle website?
The timeline can vary depending on the complexity and specific features you require.

We understand deadlines are often tight for events, so we work efficiently to meet your schedule.
Are online raffles legal in the UK?
Yes, online raffles are legal in the UK, but they must comply with specific regulations set out by the Gambling Commission. We’ll ensure your website is built with these regulations in mind, and we can guide you on the best practices to remain compliant. It’s always good to be aware of the rules!

We integrate with secure, market-leading payment gateway companies that are tried and tested for handling online prize draws and raffles. This ensures smooth, reliable transactions for your participants, giving them peace of mind when purchasing tickets.
