How RaffleLink compares
Side-by-sides with the platforms Australian organisers most often weigh us up against. Every claim about another platform comes from their own website on a stated date, the gaps say “not described” rather than guessing, and each page has a section on when they would suit you better than we would.
Australian raffle platform
RaffleLink vs RaffleTix
The other raffle-only platform built for Australia. A 4.4% platform fee with Stripe on top, versus 5.5% all-in; you apply for your own permits, run the draw and contact winners yourself.

What every comparison measures
The same questions on every page, so the pages can be read against each other and not just against us.
-
The all-in cost of a card sale
Platform fee plus payment processing, added up, so a “4.4%” and a “5.5%” can be compared on the same footing.
-
Who pays the fee
Whether buyers can be asked to cover it, whether they can be made to, and what that does to your net.
-
Compliance and permits
Whether the state rules are enforced in the product or explained in a help doc, and who lodges the permit.
-
Paper, in person and online
Whether the paper book, the gate and the newsletter link all feed one fair draw.
-
Draws, winners and payouts
Who runs the draw, whether it is auditable, who tells the winners, and how the money gets to your bank account.
-
When the other platform is the better fit
Every page says so, in its own section. Some organisations are better served elsewhere, and we would rather say it than have you find out.

Tell us who you’re comparing us with and we’ll write it up, sourced the same way. Meanwhile the short version is the same on every page: 5.5% incl. GST on card sales with processing included, nothing on cash, permits lodged for you, and a signed draw that notifies the winners itself.
