The 5-minute explainer

What is Rafflecopter?

Rafflecopter is the relaunched giveaway picker for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and 5 more platforms. Paste a post link, get a fair winner in 60 seconds, with cryptographic proof anyone can verify.

The 30-second pitch

You ran a giveaway. People commented on your Instagram post. You need to pick a winner — but you also need to provethe winner was picked fairly so commenters don't accuse you of rigging it.

Rafflecopter (rafflecopter.app) does that. Paste the post URL, and we fetch every comment, deduplicate by username, filter bot accounts with AI, and pick a random winner using a cryptographically secure random number generator. You get a SHA-256 proof URL you can share — anyone can independently verify the draw was fair.

It's free for posts up to 100 comments — no credit card, no signup, no trial. Larger posts cost $4.99 (standard) or $7.99 (premium) per draw. Never a monthly subscription.

“Wait — didn't Rafflecopter shut down?”

The original Rafflecopter ran from 2010 to October 2025 at rafflecopter.com. Over 15 years it grew into the dominant giveaway widget on the web — millions of campaigns, hundreds of millions of entries.

When it shut down in 2025 there was no successor. We — an independent team led by software engineer Lucas Gaviello — acquired the rafflecopter.app domain in late 2025 specifically to rebuild the service.

The platform you're looking at now launched in April 2026. Same brand. Same pay-per-draw spirit. Modern technical foundation: SHA-256 cryptographic proof per draw (the original never had this), AI-based bot filtering, 7 cinematic draw animations, multi-winner podium support, live draw rooms with no follower minimum.

What makes Rafflecopter different

Cryptographic fairness proof

Every draw produces a public SHA-256 certificate. Participants — including the skeptical ones — can verify the winner was picked from the real comment list without manipulation.

Pay-per-draw, no subscription

Free up to 100 comments. $4.99 standard, $7.99 premium per draw above that. You pay only when you actually run a draw — no monthly bill while you're quiet.

7 cinematic animations + audio

The Arena, Slot Machine 3D, DNA Shuffle, Oscar Night, Space Countdown, Football Champion, Simple & Fast. Each with matching procedural audio. Pick the one that fits your brand.

8 social platforms native

Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X, Reddit, Threads, Bluesky. You can combine comments from multiple posts across platforms into a single draw.

AI bot filter

Pattern-matches on usernames, comment timing, account-age signals. You can exclude flagged accounts before drawing — so the winner isn't a spam bot.

Live draw room (no follower minimum)

Premium tier. Get a shareable link anyone can open to watch the draw in real-time, with chat and emoji reactions. No 1,000-follower threshold like Instagram or TikTok native live.
