Setting up the Gamification Raffle

Please note use of this feature requires the Gamification Power-Up.

The Gamification Power-Up offers the option to host raffles which can award attendees with a prize. Adding raffles to your event is a great way to incentivize participation in your event. Once all the entries have been submitted, a ticket will be drawn and the attendee will win the prize.

To better understand Gamification, please ensure you review our two other articles on Gamification:

• Setting up Gamification and Prizes for In-Person Events
• Setting Up Gamification & Prizes for Virtual Events
