What you're signing up for

No jargon β€” here's exactly what you get with Raffle Buddy.

Free to start, live today

Create your campaign, add your logo and colours, and go live in minutes. No contracts, no monthly fees.

You keep more of what you raise

Your entrants pay the ticket price and nothing is added. The money goes straight to your own account β€” we only charge you when you draw.

Trust built in

Every ticket is numbered and every draw is sealed with a cryptographic record, so you can prove to anyone it was fair.

More than just raffles

Raffles, donations, community fundraisers and a merch store β€” all sharing one link, your branding and one dashboard.

● Security & validity

Every draw, locked & verifiable.

Before a single winner is picked, a random seed is recorded and sealed with a cryptographic SHA-256 hash. Change one ticket, one number, anything β€” and the hash no longer matches. The result is immutable: it can’t be edited after the fact, and anyone can re-run the maths to confirm the winner was fair.

  • Sealed before the draw. The winning seed is committed up front, not after β€” no back-dating a result.
  • Immutable audit log. Every entry, payment and draw is written to a locked, timestamped record.
  • Every ticket numbered. Traceable from purchase to draw, with a forensic trail on each order.
  • Bank-grade checkout. Payments run through PayFast β€” card details never touch our servers.

Free until you draw

Set your campaign up, sell every ticket, and pay nothing at all. When you're ready to draw, you pay 2% of what you actually raised β€” never less than R99, and the rate halves to 1% on anything above R50 000.

  • Nothing to pay until you draw
  • 2% of what you raise, dropping to 1% at scale
  • Your entrants pay the ticket price. Nothing added.
