Hosting a Raffle
From approval to payouts—here’s how hosting works.
1. Apply to become a host
Open Account and submit your ABN. We’ll review and approve eligible applications.
2. Connect Stripe
Create/connect your Stripe account for payouts. Use provided account links to manage your Stripe settings.
Note: Stripe charges processing and (where applicable) payout/transfer fees. Fees are set by Stripe and are typically deducted so you receive the net amount. See Stripe pricing and Stripe Connect pricing.
3. Create a raffle
Use Host a Raffle to set name, ticket price, draw time, and venue details.
4. Start the draw
Run draws, confirm winners, and send winner emails. Reply-To is set to your host email.
