Online, or cash after Mass — both.
Live in the hall or quietly Sunday.
Audit log + financial CSV. Done.
Every draw records the seed, timestamp, and who initiated it. Hand the audit log to the deacons. Hand it to the diocese. Nobody can claim Brother Joe rigged it for his cousin.
Half your congregation is over 70 and pays cash after Mass. The office logs the cash entry; Miss Bernice's name is in the system right next to the online buyers.
NJ Games of Chance, NY Bingo & Raffle, PA Small Games — most state forms want the same data. We ship a CSV that matches the typical fields. Hand to the finance council, file with the state.
Most states require your parish or church to register annually as a raffle sponsor, file a permit before each event, and submit a financial report after. We don't file your permit for you, but our financial CSV matches typical state forms. Alabama, Hawaii, and Utah prohibit paid-entry raffles entirely. Check your state's rules.
A roll of 2,000 paper double-tickets at the office-supply store runs about $30. SimplyRaffle Basic is $9 per event, or a Basic Annual at $99/year covering 13 of them — about $7.60 a raffle. For the parish dinner, the Lent appeal, or the November fall festival, the platform costs less than the tickets you'd otherwise be buying. And nobody has to count cardboard stubs at the kitchen table at 9pm.
No per-ticket fees. Defendable to the finance council.
