Steps to Create Raffle

1. Sign in as an Admin

2. In the Admin Panel, select Raffles / Giveaways:

3. Click Create New Raffle and enter a Raffle name

4. Choose Audience: Select the group of attendees who are eligible to participate in the raffle and how many entries each attendee can earn (outlined below):

  • Option 1) All Event Attendees
  • Option 2) Only Attendees in the session I select
  • Option 3) Only those included in the list I'll import 

 

Audience Option 1) All Event Attendees

Select All Event Attendees then choose how many entries each attendee is eligible to earn. Choose from the following 2 options:

A. Attendees can earn one (1) entry for every session evaluation they submit during the event. 

  • This option could be useful if the event includes multiple sessions and you want to encourage attendees to evaluate all or most of the sessions they attend. 

OR

B. Attendees earn a maximum of one (1) entry when they submitted at least one session evaluation during the event.

 

Audience Option 2) Only Attendees in the session I select

Select Only attendees in the session I select then click inside the Choose Session box to select the appropriate session:

 

 

Audience Option 3) Only those included in the list I'll import 

Select Only those included in the list I'll import then click Create Raffle to open a new window where you can drag and drop the spreadsheet file:

 

 

❗️ Important: In order for Options 1 and 2 to work, attendees will need to identify themselves in the event or in specific sessions. For more info and a step-by-step guide, please see Collect attendee information with Required Attendee Identification Fields.  

 

Keep in mind, questions asked in Social Q&A, poll responses, and session evaluations will no longer be anonymous when Attendee ID Requirements have been enabled. If you'd prefer to keep attendee engagement anonymous, skip to Option #3, Only Those Included in a List That I'll Import.
