Competition Timelines:
Each competition by default lasts for 15 days however we offer one extension of a further
15 days also by request of the competition creator.

If competitions are not completed by the 15 to 30 days it is up to the competition creator to request more time to extend the competition and also inform ticket holders about the extension. They must update the description section on their competition page.

All competition entrants will be notified if they have won a competition or not the very minute the last ticket is sold. Go Raffle It contacts both the winner and the competition creator to confirm the winning ticket ID.

Winner Selection:
The winner of a competition is selected by an algorithm at random by the website, this is done automatically the very second the last ticket is sold, once the last ticket is sold the winner gets an email to notify them they won the competition and everyone else is notified also by email that they were unlucky and did not win.

There is only one winner of any competition. 

Go Raffle It will announce the winner of the competition on the website competition page and on our social media pages. We will then contact the winner by email and / or phone to provide contact details of the competition creator.

It is up to the competition creator and winner to arrange the prize between themselves, we do not get involved with this and are liable for prizes not being given over in a timely manner.

If for any reason the competition creator is unable to contact a Winner within 10 days of the end of a competition or the winner fails to confirm acceptance of the prize or the winner is disqualified as a result of contravening any of these terms and conditions, the winner will forfeit the prize and the prize will remain in the possession of the competition creator.
