How to Run a Fair Raffle Online (Free, No Sign-Up)

Running a raffle should feel fun, not sketchy. Whether it's a Friday giveaway in your office Slack or a community prize draw, the rules are the same: everyone should be able to see what happened and trust the result.

1. Make the entry list public

The first sign of a fair draw is a visible list of entries. With LegitRaffle, every participant added is shown on the public draw page — anyone with the link can verify they're in.

2. Lock entries before picking

Once entries are in, lock the list. After locking, no one (not even the organizer) can add or remove names. This is the moment that turns a "list of names" into "the official entry pool."

3. Pick the winner on the record

Click "Pick winner." LegitRaffle uses a random selection and stamps the time. The winner's name is shown on the same public URL — no screenshots, no "trust me bro."

4. Share the link, not a screenshot

Instead of posting a screenshot of the winner, share the draw URL. Anyone can open it and see the participants, the lock time, and the winner. That's what transparent means.

That's it. No accounts, no payments, no gambling. Just a clean, shareable draw page.
