An easy solution would be make it so the prize pool can't be diluted by another account winning. Simply make it where every ticket has the same odds or winning without there being a fixed number of prizes.

That would work too

Then it can't be called a Raffle, it would have to be called....wait for it....

Say goodbye to Jagex multi million pound profits if everyone who has more than 5 accounts for that mini game gets banned lol.

I know money is important to them, unfortunately they have put the profit over players.

I don't see how it is TH tho lol Against Raffle Rigging since 2015

i agree it wouldnt be TH

Jagex tried but they didn't try hard enough I guess. The 2 mistakes they made were not monitoring the raffle, and giving everyone 10 tickets.
Raffle Loot from 11.3k Raffle Tickets - 10/8/19. Results will be on forums/youtube/maybe reddit.

I would support having the prize pool be directly linked to the number of entries. Maybe 10% of tickets entered?

That way if 100 people entered, there would be 10 prizes and if 100k people entered it would be 10k prizes. No matter how many people abuse alt accounts, the odds of winning never change.

This is interesting always 10% per ticket
However raffles usually have limited prizes

I don't care if its not technically a raffle with a set number of prizes, the right thing to do is to look at taking measures to stop raffle rigging.

Even if it was called something else Against Raffle Rigging since 2015

but having limited items makes these items more unique and special.

which is how my suggestion works well. its still a raffle. and legit players will have the upperhand

Your proposal doesnt stop raffle riggers from deliberately diluting the reward pool however.

The other issue is lower lvl accounts may also be legitimate players. They shouldnt be punished because of raffle riggers Against Raffle Rigging since 2015
