About

Our story

Online Gun Raffle is the firearm-fundraising home of Chance2Win — the team that has been building online raffle websites for nonprofits since 2005. This isn’t a new venture chasing a category. It’s a two-decade practice pointed squarely at the one fundraiser most platforms won’t touch.

Two decades of raffles

Chance2Win’s roots go back to 1993, helping organizations bridge the technology of the day. We pioneered online raffle software in 2005, and released it publicly for WooCommerce in 2015. Since then we’ve helped run so many raffles we stopped counting after the first 15,000 — we’re well past 30,000 now.

Along the way we watched too many nonprofits get burned by platforms that advertised “free,” then quietly took a large cut through tip prompts and surprise fees. That’s why we compete the way we do, and why our pricing is fixed and disclosed. We’ve never solicited a review — we’d rather earn the next raffle than chase a testimonial for the last one.

What we are — and aren’t

A web developer, not a managed raffle service

This distinction defines how we work. Chance2Win builds and hosts a turnkey raffle website that your organization operates. We don’t set your rules, price your tickets, or take custody of your funds. Your supporters’ payments settle to your own merchant account. For a firearm raffle in particular, that separation keeps your organization in control of its own fundraiser.

Why the firearm focus

Most raffle platforms run on payment processors that restrict firearm sales, so those fundraisers get paused or closed. We build on Flux Payments, which supports firearm and alcohol fundraising — so the organizations that have run gun raffles for generations can finally run them online without the campaign freezing mid-draw.
