Raffle is an add-on for . It allows the website administrator to organize raffles (lotteries). This product can not be installed and used on its own without having purchased and installed first.
A raffle is a type of contest in which users buy a ticket for a chance to win a prize. All proceeds from ticket sales form the cash prize pool (pot). The pot is split between the winner and the house (the casino administrator can define the percentage of the pot, which will be kept as a fee).
To participate in a raffle a user needs to buy at least one ticket. The number of tickets users can purchase in every raffle can be limited by the administrator. The admin can specify the raffle duration (for how long the raffle will run) or set the target number of tickets that should be purchased for the raffle to complete. In either case when a raffle is due to finish a random ticket will be drawn and the user that bought that ticket will win the pot.
The advantage of raffles is that they are completely risk free for the casino owners, because winner is paid from the ticket sales proceeds.
