The payment moat
Why we can process gun raffles when other platforms can’t
This is the whole difference. A raffle platform is only as capable as the payment processor behind it — and most run on Stripe, which restricts firearm-related transactions. We don’t. Here’s exactly how that works, and where the money goes.
Stripe-locked platforms
Built on a processor whose policy restricts firearm sales. A firearm fundraiser can be flagged, paused, or closed — sometimes after tickets are already selling and money is in motion. The organizer finds out when the campaign stops.
Chance2Win on Flux Payments
We build your site on Flux Payments, a processor that supports firearm and alcohol fundraising. The category is expected, not flagged. Your raffle runs from first ticket to final draw without a payment freeze.
Where the money goes
Your account. Your funds. Your raffle.
The processor question is also a control question. On a Chance2Win site, ticket funds settle to your organization’s own Flux Payments merchant account. We are the web developer that builds and hosts the turnkey site your organization operates — we do not set your rules, price your tickets, or take custody of your funds. That distinction is deliberate, and it matters most in a regulated category like this one.
One firm rule: no PayPal.
PayPal is not used for raffle ticket sales on any Chance2Win site. For a firearm fundraiser especially, the processor is chosen on purpose.
Common questions
Why can’t Stripe process a gun raffle fundraiser?
Stripe restricts firearm-related transactions, so raffle platforms built on Stripe alone often pause or close firearm fundraisers. Chance2Win builds your raffle website on Flux Payments, a processor that supports firearm and alcohol fundraising, so the campaign is not shut off mid-raffle.
Who holds the merchant account?
The nonprofit does. Ticket funds settle directly to the organization’s own Flux Payments merchant account. Chance2Win is the web developer that builds and hosts the turnkey site the nonprofit operates; it does not take custody of ticket funds.
Is PayPal an option for a gun raffle?
No. PayPal is not used for raffle ticket sales on any Chance2Win site.
