Swindon is a town of entrepreneurs, charities, and community groups, all looking for innovative ways to engage and fundraise. We’ve worked with various local organisations, understanding the specific challenges and opportunities here. Whether you’re a startup in the tech hub, a long-standing business in Old Town, or a charity based out in West Swindon, our approach is tailored.

Frequently Asked Questions About Raffle Websites
How long does it take to build a raffle website?
The timeline can vary depending on the complexity and specific features you need. Typically, a custom raffle website can be designed and developed within 4-8 weeks from the initial briefing to launch. We’ll give you a precise timeline in our proposal.
Do I need to worry about legal compliance for online raffles in the UK?
Yes, absolutely. Online raffles and prize draws are regulated. While we provide the technical platform, it’s crucial that you understand and comply with relevant gambling laws and regulations from bodies like the Gambling Commission. We can advise on best practices for the website’s functionality to support compliance, but you should always seek independent legal advice tailored to your specific raffle.
Can I manage the raffle content and prizes myself after launch?
Of course! We build our raffle websites with user-friendly content management systems (CMS) that allow you to easily update prizes, add new draws, manage winners, and modify content without needing technical expertise. We’ll provide full training too.
What about security for transactions and data?
Security is paramount. We implement robust security measures, including SSL certificates and secure payment gateway integrations, to protect both your website and your participants’ data and financial information. We adhere to industry best practices to keep everything safe.
