Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about how Raffle Finder AI works, how listings are reviewed, entry methods, membership and staying safe while entering promotions.

Getting Started

What is Raffle Finder AI?

Raffle Finder AI is a discovery and organization service for sweepstakes, contests, raffles and freebies. We help users find opportunities, understand key details and follow links to the sponsor or promoter.

Does Raffle Finder AI run the sweepstakes listed here?

Usually, no. Unless a listing specifically says otherwise, the promotion is operated by an independent third party. Raffle Finder AI does not accept entries or select winners for those promotions.

Where do I actually enter?

Use the Open Entry or Enter / Apply link on the listing. Some promotions use a web form, while others may require text-to-enter, call-in, listen-to-win, mail-in, social media or in-person entry.

Do I need an account to browse?

During beta, some listings can be viewed without registering. Free members receive broader home-state access, while Premium members receive additional state, regional and nationwide features as they are released.

Listings, Rules & Eligibility

How does Raffle Finder AI find listings?

Our system discovers promotions from public sponsor, media, nonprofit and promoter sources, then organizes them for review. We use automated checks plus human approval before a listing is published to the live feed.

Are all listings verified?

We try to verify the most important information before publication, including the source, entry method, rules, deadline and eligibility when available. The sponsor’s Official Rules always control if there is any difference between our summary and the promotion itself.

Why do some listings have unusual entry methods?

Not every promotion has a traditional online form. Radio stations and local promotions may use text-to-enter, call-in or listen-to-win methods, while others may use mail-in, social media or in-person entry.

Why are some promotions available only in certain states?

Sponsors set their own eligibility rules. A promotion may be nationwide, limited to one state or region, or exclude certain states. Always check the Official Rules before entering.

What does “Ends Soon” mean?

Ending Soon highlights promotions approaching their listed closing date. Deadlines can change, so confirm the exact date and time in the Official Rules before entering.

What should I do if a listing looks wrong or outdated?

Use Report a Listing and tell us what you found. We can review broken links, changed deadlines, expired promotions, duplicate listings and other errors.

Free vs. Paid Entry

Are all promotions free to enter?

No. Many sweepstakes and contests are free, but some charitable raffles or other promotions may require a paid ticket or purchase. We label paid-entry listings when identified so users can distinguish them from free entry opportunities.

Does Raffle Finder AI take payment for raffle tickets?

No. Entry and payment take place with the independent sponsor or promoter. Raffle Finder AI provides information and outbound links only.

What is a free alternate method of entry?

Some promotions that involve a purchase also provide a no-purchase entry method. When we find one, we may identify it in the listing, but the Official Rules are the final authority on how it works.

Safety, Scams & Winning

How can I avoid sweepstakes scams?

Be cautious if someone asks for money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, banking credentials or sensitive personal information simply to release a prize. Confirm winner notices using contact information from the sponsor’s official website or Official Rules.

Will a legitimate sweepstakes ask me to pay to claim a prize?

Taxes or legitimate delivery arrangements can apply to some prizes, but unexpected demands for advance payment are a warning sign. Verify the sponsor independently before sending money or sensitive information.

Does Raffle Finder AI guarantee that I will win?

No. We help you discover opportunities; we cannot guarantee entry acceptance, odds, winner selection, prize delivery or any particular result.

Do winners owe taxes?

Prize taxation depends on the prize, value and your circumstances. Sponsors may issue tax forms for certain prizes. Consider consulting a qualified tax professional if you win a significant prize.

Membership & Features

What does a Free membership include?

Free membership is designed around your home state and includes core listing details, Freebie of the Day, New Today and Ending Soon views, basic sorting and reporting tools as those beta features are released.

What does Premium include?

Premium is planned to add features such as Favorites, nationwide and other-state browsing, regional opportunities, personalized alerts, advanced filters, saved preferences and a member dashboard. Current pricing is $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year.

Can I save favorites and get alerts?

Favorites and personalized alerts are part of the Premium feature set. Some features are still being completed during beta, so availability may change as testing continues.

Will Raffle Finder AI cover all 50 states?

That is the plan. We are beginning with an Arizona-first beta, then expanding regional and nationwide coverage as the crawler, review process and membership tools mature. Canada is planned for a later phase.

For Promoters & Nonprofits

Can I submit my own sweepstakes?

Yes. Use Submit a Sweepstakes from the navigation. Community members and promoters can submit a public promotion for review.

Can nonprofits submit raffles or sweepstakes?

Yes. Supporting legitimate nonprofit promotions is an important part of Raffle Finder AI. Qualified listings may be identified under Benefits Charity.

Does submitting guarantee publication?

No. Submissions are reviewed for basic legitimacy, usable links, eligibility, deadline and other key details before publication.

Still have a question?

If your question is about a specific promotion, check the sponsor’s Official Rules first. If something on Raffle Finder AI appears incorrect, use Report a Listing so we can review it.
