Raffles

Raffles are a ticket-based prize draw, distinct from Giveaways in a few real ways: tickets are credited by an admin (not a self-service entry button), the draw is weighted by ticket count rather than one-entry-one-chance, and there's a real gil pot with a winner/venue split. There's no end date — rolling is always a manual admin action.

Quick Start

  1. Run /admin menu → Raffles → Add. Set its Name, Cost per Ticket, Winner %, and Num Winners from the detail screen.
  2. Credit tickets as people buy them: Add next to Add Tickets → pick the member → enter a quantity. (Or use /addtickets — see below.)
  3. Roll Winners when ready.

Creating & editing

A raffle's detail screen covers Name, Cost per Ticket (in gil — type k/m shorthand like 100k, capped at 999,999,999), Winner % (the winners' share of the pot, 0–100), Num Winners (1–10), and Auto Notify Winners (DM each winner when rolled). Unlike Giveaways, there's no visual customization (no description/thumbnail/color/emoji) — raffles are function-first.

Crediting tickets

Three equivalent ways to credit tickets, all landing in the same place:

  • The detail screen's Add button, next to Add Tickets (Discord) or the Add Tickets form (Dashboard) — pick a member, enter a quantity.
  • /addtickets — a typed command (autocomplete over raffles that haven't been rolled yet, then a member and a quantity), kept alongside the picker flow specifically so crediting doesn't slow down during busy club hours.

Tickets can't be added once a raffle's been rolled.

The pot

The detail screen shows the live pot: total tickets sold × cost per ticket, split by Winner % into a winner share and a venue share. Both surfaces show the same numbers.

Posting & the entries report

Unlike Events/Giveaways/Profiles, raffle posting works from either surface — the posted tracker is a plain read-only info card (cost per ticket, entrant/ticket counts, the pot split, and winners once rolled) with no entry button of its own, so there's no interactive state only Discord can own. Post picks a channel; the Dashboard additionally has its own Refresh and Remove for an existing post, not just Discord's automatic keep-up-to-date.

Entries Report (either surface) downloads a .txt file of every entrant and their ticket count, sorted highest first.

Rolling winners

Roll Winners (re-labeled Re-Roll Winners after the first roll, with a confirmation before picking again) is available on both surfaces. The draw is ticket-weighted — someone with 20 tickets is proportionally more likely to win than someone with 2, not an equal chance regardless of ticket count. If your venue has a log channel configured (Settings → General), a rolled raffle posts a notice there automatically; if not, the roll confirmation shown to the admin says so explicitly rather than silently skipping it. There's no automatic rolling — raffles have no end date, so someone always has to trigger it.
