Hi,

Welcome to your new weekly Raffle courtesy of Allbones_92.

I was looking to start this Raffle as soon as I have 10 people minimum who would like to enter on a weekly basis.

How this works:

There are 3 prizes per week that are worth a minimum of 250k each.

10 people pay 100k each and I will randomly select 3 winners (using a randomiser online).

These 3 lucky winners will receive a prize each which they can either keep or sell.

I will post on here every week with the prizes for this week's Raffle.

I would like to see how many of you are interested so comment below if you are and I'll take a note of your names and be in touch.

I'll keep a note of winners every week and what item they won.

Once this has been running for a month or so I shall be looking for feedback from you lovely people to tailor this to your needs.

Just thought this would be a bit of fun and doesn't require a huge amount of time and admin staff to run.

Look forward to hearing from you all!

:) :P

I think it would be more meaningful if the "buy in" wasn't cash, but instead an event or activity. For example, everyone who was a part of the conga line is eligible to participate in the raffle!

I'm also not sure where in the rules it says this--the rules need to be updated, /!; ibhope you support my thread about updating the FSRs ("Outdated FSRs&quot ;) , but because of the cash buy in, this raffle is actually gambling, and as such against iRinescale rules :(

I'd love to see this work, so I hope you can figure out a means to do your raffle! :)

Hey allbones_92, though your idea is appreciated this would be something that goes against the no giveaways rule that is in place for the Events forum; this information is detailed within the Events Forum Specific Rules .

This particular rule is in place due to issues with giveaways & raffles that were held on the forums in the past; very frequently the party hosting the giveaway simply would disappear and wouldn't follow through with what they have proposed. The addition of the buy-in which you have stated also adds to this as the host could potentially take the entrance money and run (not saying at all you would do this, but the risk adds to why the rule was put in place).

With the above said, I'm afraid this sort of thing can't be advertised on the RuneScape forums. There are ways to host in-game events with prizes, which is permitted although the details of those prizes shouldn't be disclosed and the event has to be something other than just giving away wealth. If you're looking for ideas, the Events guide at the top of the forum may be able to help.
