Yes, running a prize draw on Zeffy is free at any size. There's no platform fee, no per-entry fee and no card fee, so a £20 bundle puts £20 in your account. Supporters can choose to add an optional contribution to Zeffy at checkout.
In a raffle, everyone pays to enter, which makes it a lottery under UK gambling law. Most charity raffles run as small society lotteries, registered with the local council. A free prize draw gives everyone a free way to enter, with the same chance of winning as a paid entry. Zeffy builds that free entry route into every prize draw, which you'll find under Sweepstakes in your dashboard.
No. The free entry route is part of every free prize draw, and it comes built in on Zeffy. A prize draw runs like any charity draw: supporters enter to back your cause and win your prizes.
No. Zeffy writes your draw rules from your campaign details, with the notice that no donation is necessary to enter or win. You can preview them before you publish.
Check the rules that apply to your draw before you launch. Raffles and lotteries need registration with your local council or a Gambling Commission licence, while a free prize draw is set up differently. Northern Ireland has its own gambling law. Each charity is responsible for its own compliance.
Yes. Most charities offer a single entry and two or three bundles, like 1 for £5 and 5 for £20, and set the total number of entries.
No. Gift Aid applies to gifts, and a payment for a chance to win a prize isn't a gift. That's also why raffle tickets never qualify. Gift Aid still applies to the donations you collect on Zeffy.
