Secure & Compliant Online Raffle Software Built for Nonprofits
Raffles require more than ticket sales. You need payment security, ticket integrity, audit trails, legal awareness, and donor data protection — all defensible when your board (or regulators) ask questions.
PCI-Compliant Payment Processing
Zero Intermediaries. All online payments are handled through PCI-compliant gateways using tokenized transactions, encrypted HTTPS transmission, and secure API-based routing. No full credit card numbers are ever stored.
Your organization maintains direct merchant account ownership. Funds are deposited directly into your account — not held in pooled intermediary systems. Ownership reduces financial risk and increases transparency.
- Tokenized transactions via Stripe & supported Premium gateways
- Encrypted HTTPS transmission on every checkout
- No storage of full credit card data
- Direct deposit to your account, no pooled funds

Chance2Win does not run your raffle. Your organization manages the fundraiser. We provide the infrastructure your team uses to run it correctly.
Every Ticket. Accounted For.
Raffle compliance depends on one critical factor: ticket integrity. Chance2Win enforces strict sequential numbering so your records stay verifiable and defensible, even when transactions fail, cancel, or refund.
Nothing Disappears. Nothing Is Overwritten.
Every transaction is timestamped, assigned, confirmed, and logged. Your complete financial and participant history is always available, and always exportable.
Full Transaction Timestamps
Every ticket purchase, payment confirmation, and refund is recorded with an exact timestamp. Nothing is anonymized or collapsed.
Exportable Documentation
Export transaction logs, winner documentation, participant lists, and financial summaries for board reporting, regulatory inquiries, or internal audits.
Refund History Intact
Refunds are logged and reflected in reporting while maintaining ticket integrity. The audit trail doesn’t break when money moves.

Infrastructure. Not Legal Counsel.
Raffle laws vary by jurisdiction. While regulations differ by state and locality, Chance2Win provides configurable infrastructure that helps organizations operate responsibly.
The software supports the technical and operational elements compliance requires, so your legal preparation has the right foundation to work from.
- Ticket sales caps with hard enforcement
- Start and end date restrictions built in
- Required disclosure text and age disclaimer fields
- Geographic limitation support where applicable
- Prize documentation and fair-market-value fields
Organizations should always consult local authorities or legal counsel before launching a raffle.
Security Covers Both Directions.
Fraud prevention protects you from external threats. Donor data protection earns the trust that makes fundraising possible.
Compliance Is Also Financial.
Clean accounting starts with clean reporting. Chance2Win separates every fee type so your books are clear, your board is informed, and your donors are confident.
Predictable fee structures reduce supporter confusion. Transparent separation protects trust at every level of your organization.
- Ticket revenue reported independently
- Service fees separated (Zero Fee model)
- Platform fees separated (Premium model)
- Payment processing fees itemized
- Refund adjustments clearly reflected

Generic Platform vs. Secure Raffle Infrastructure
Not every fundraising tool was built with raffle compliance in mind. The difference matters when your organization’s reputation is on the line.

|---|---|---|
| PCI-compliant processing | ✓ | ✓ |
| Direct merchant account ownership | Sometimes | Always |
| Sequential ticket integrity | Rare | Always |
| Refund-safe numbering validation | Inconsistent | Always |
| Progressive jackpot audit logs | ✗ | ✓ |
| Exportable compliance documentation | Limited | Full |
| Role-based admin controls | Basic | Granular |
| Documented drawing process | ✗ | ✓ |
Get the Raffle Mastery Book (Free for Nonprofits)
After helping nonprofits run raffles for nearly two decades, we started noticing the same patterns — the strategies that worked, and the mistakes that quietly killed fundraising results.
So we wrote a 120-page book called Raffle Mastery.
It covers:
- how to price raffle tickets
- why ticket bundles dramatically increase sales
- promotion strategies that actually work
- real fundraising lessons from hundreds of raffles
The book normally sells for $19, but we give the ebook away free to nonprofits who join our occasional newsletter.
We send helpful fundraising insights two or three times a year. No spam. No nonsense.
And yes — you can unsubscribe anytime without hurting our feelings.
