The ever popular raffle has been refreshed and brought up to date with today’s launch of Raffle.it.
Tickets to win amazing prizes from a wide range of great brands including Waterstone’s, Red Letter Days,
Dyson, and Nokia, start from as little as £1.

Uniquely, everyone wins a reward just for taking part. These rewards range from free magazines to 20% off
discount vouchers.

The aim of the Raffle.it team is to revolutionise competitions ensuring complete transparency throughout
game-play and winner identification, and to cut down on the piles of unwanted spam resulting from entry
into ‘free’ competitions.

Managing Director of Raffle.it, Pascal Wheeler talks about the business;
“There are so many free to enter competitions out there that promise so much, yet deliver nothing more than
unwanted spam emails. They never communicate how many other people take part and invariably use the
information they gather for marketing purposes. In those rogue competitions, selling people’s personal data
is what pays for the prizes - if it’s too good to be true, it normally is.”

“In contrast, our raffles are designed to have a fixed number of tickets, at an appropriate cost and for the
winner to be chosen as a result of the participants activities. This creates a totally transparent competition,
but to be sustainable we needed to ensure that everyone came away with a truly positive experience. In the
raffles of old, for each winner there would need to be many losers, not with Raffle.it. Everyone wins, every
time.”

He continued;
“Raffles are a great tool for channeling common interest, be it in a prize or the beneficiary, the potential
scope for this is really exciting. We will shortly be introducing Charity raffles, raffles where individuals play on
behalf of their local schools, and ultimately to create a huge social trading platform, watch this space.”
As a result of Raffle.it’s beta phase, the company has over 2,000 registered players and has displayed its
pages over 100,000 times. Early signs suggest raffles remain as popular online as they are in village fetes.
