# RaffleLink

> RaffleLink is an Australian online raffle platform for schools, charities, clubs and community groups, run by the same team since 2014. Compliance is built into the product: permit thresholds, fundraising caps and draw rules for all 8 Australian states and territories are encoded and checked automatically during setup, draws run on regulator-certified software with cryptographically signed results, and organisations are verified before they fundraise. Pricing is a single percentage fee on card sales — no setup fees, no subscriptions, and cash sales are free.
