ANIMAL Rescue FAQ
Questions from organizers
Yes. Even though you are fundraising to support animals in need, charities and nonprofit organizations must secure the required raffle licence through their provincial gaming authority before launching. Once approved, upload your licence details in Raffle Rocket and submit your raffle for review before tickets go on sale.
Your shelter creates a branded raffle page and shares it online to donors and social followers. When the raffle closes, Raffle Rocket’s certified random number generator selects the winner with the click of a button, then emails the winner and participants.
There’s no upfront, setup, or annual cost. Raffle Rocket’s platform fee is 4.9% of ticket sales, compared with many platforms that charge 7–10% or add setup fees. Standard Stripe payment processing (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) applies on any platform.
