Can we run a 50/50 raffle on the RaffleTix platform?

It is possible to run a 50/50 raffle on the RaffleTix platform in some States and Territories in Australia.

Note: you cannot run a 50/50 raffle in Victoria as cash is not a legal raffle prize in Victoria.

If you wish to sell tickets to residents of a particular State or Territory, you must adhere to the rules of that State or Territory. In some cases, a permit may be required. We recommend you structure your 50/50 raffle so that permits are not required.

You must also clearly explain the concept of a 50/50 raffle and the prizes within your raffle Terms and Conditions.

If you have questions about running a 50/50 raffle, please contact the RaffleTix support team at support@raffletix.com.au

What is a 50/50 Raffle?

A 50/50 raffle is a fun and easy way to win cash while supporting a great cause. Here's how it works:

1. Buy a ticket – Each ticket goes into the draw.

2. Half for the winner – 50% of the total ticket sales becomes the prize pool.

3. Half for the cause – The other 50% goes directly to [your charity/organisation name].

4. One lucky draw – When the raffle closes, we draw one winning ticket.

Example: If we sell $10,000 worth of tickets, the winner gets $5,000 and the cause gets $5,000.

It's simple: the more tickets sold, the bigger the prize!
