Rafflecopter — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about running fair, verifiable giveaways on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and 5 more platforms. Free for posts up to 100 comments, pay-per-draw above. No subscription.
Rafflecopter is a free, pay-per-draw giveaway picker for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X (Twitter), Reddit, Threads, and Bluesky. Paste a post URL and we fetch comments, filter bots with AI, and pick a random winner with cinematic animation and SHA-256 cryptographic proof of fairness.
Free for posts up to 100 comments — no card, no signup. Above: $4.99 per standard draw or $7.99 per premium draw (with live room and extra animations). Never a monthly subscription.
8 social networks: Instagram (posts + reels), TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X (Twitter), Reddit, Threads, and Bluesky. You can combine comments from multiple posts on different platforms into one draw.
Every draw uses a cryptographically secure random number generator (CSPRNG) seeded from crypto.getRandomValues. The participant list, seed, and winner are hashed with SHA-256 and published on a public certificate page (e.g., rafflecopter.app/proof/[code]). Anyone — including skeptical participants — can independently verify the winner was not pre-selected or tampered with.
Yes. You can draw 1 to 10 winners in a single draw. Multi-winner draws display a 1st/2nd/3rd podium with medals plus a list for positions 4-10. All winners are selected from the same pool (no double-wins) and all are bound to the same SHA-256 proof hash.
PayPal (primary outside Brazil), card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex via Stripe), Apple Pay, Google Pay — all with 3D Secure. PIX (instant Brazilian bank transfer) for BR. Prices auto-detect visitor country across 17 supported currencies.
Yes. We only process publicly-posted comment data (no private DMs, no logins). Participant emails, addresses, and payment data are never stored — only public usernames and comment text. Hosts pay anonymously per draw; no account required.
Same brand, same mission, complete technical rebuild. The original Rafflecopter (rafflecopter.com) shut down in October 2025. In April 2026 our team acquired the rafflecopter.app domain and rebuilt the platform from scratch — modern fairness guarantees, SHA-256 proof per draw, no monthly subscription.
No. Hosts pay anonymously per draw without creating an account. Participants don't need accounts either — they just comment on your social post like normal.
Yes, but Instagram limits comment visibility on Reels via every public API. Even Premium draws typically return 30–80 unique users on reels (vs. up to 2000 on regular posts). We show a warning before payment when you paste a reel URL.
Under 60 seconds for free draws (up to 100 comments). Up to 5 minutes for Premium draws on large posts (up to 2000 comments).
Yes. On the giveaway page there is an optional 'Your @username' field — paste your handle (and any co-hosts) and they will never be picked as winner. Filtered alongside drawn-winners and previousWinners.
The @rafflecopter/proof-verifier npm package lets anyone verify a proof certificate without trusting our servers. Run `npx @rafflecopter/proof-verifier <code> --participants list.txt` or use the in-browser verifier at rafflecopter.app/verify.
