The Raffstar Blog

We’re excited to announce the winner of our April 15th giveaway for fans of Raffstar on Facebook! We waited until every possible person could be counted before randomly selecting a winner from our 142 fans. So without further ado…

Though covered in our Official Rules & Regulations (listed under the details of each prize), we’ve been silent on what constitutes cheating on Raffstar and what is considered fair play. Our system picks winners at random, ensuring even the highest ticket-holder still only gets a moderate chance at success. But as our userbase grows, so do the number of attempts at beating the system. So let me clear about one thing: cheating can kill this site’s financial support, which means killing the support going to individual charities.

This month we will begin cracking down on accounts suspected of cheating.
