    Raffle Jackpot

    I'm holding a raffle.
    CASH PRIZE.
    Receive prize by Paypal.
    No limits to participants, one ticket per person and will hold it for a week.
    $5.00 bucks a ticket. Please post here to sign up.
    I keep 10% of the pot and winner keeps 90%.
    PM me if you have any questions.
    Raffle will be held on my automated website "Luck*Star" which accepts only Paypal. I have a simple website system that have been proved to be effective. Registration is required. Paypal users only.
    Winners will be randomly picked by my online website raffle system.
    A minimum of at least 2 participants is required in order for raffle event to determine the winner(s).

    Example:

    In this example all tickets will be $5.00

    If we have 2 participants. Each with a $5.00 ticket, the pot will be $10.00
    1 of the 2 participants will end up the winner. Winner will take 90% of the pot which makes it $9 bucks. Host will take 10% which makes it $1.00. Pretty simple. The more people plays the bigger the pot. Lets say we have 20 participants, that will make the pot $100.00 bucks. 1 winner out of 20 participants will receive $90.00 bucks, host will receive $10.00 bucks.

    You're chances are HIGH!
    Please pledge your stake on my website and reserve yourself the opportunity to claim your earnings!

    Want PROOF?
    Here's PROOF...

    I've previously held a FREE raffle and I still periodically host FREE raffles.
    I've set up a member's feedback system on my forum for reference purposes.
    Here is what a previous winner had to say.

    Okay, first of all, I'd like to clarify that whoever participates in this does so of their own free will. x10 has absolutely nothing to do with this so don't complain if you don't win or whatever.

    In addition to the comment above: Or, most likely, get scammed. The idea of a simple credit raffle has been severely abused before, so imagine what a money raffle would be like.

    The first line would draw the crowd. You promising prize money, but the next line where the you mention $5 per ticket will see everyone leaving this thread.

    Re: Raffle Jackpot

    I play fair. I'm not a scammer.
    If there are participants, there will be a winner.
    I don't abuse the rules.
    what else can i say?
    If you want to win money then you'll all have to trust me on this.
    And usually scammers will only get away with it once. I'm planning on sticking around.
    You can leave a member feedback if you like after this. I'm just saying if you participate then you could be a winner. My raffle is different. I don't pick random number and if you don't have it then you don't win, my raffle doesn't work like that.
    In my raffle a winner is picked, not where a number is picked and the participant have to have that picked number to win.
    That is more like a lottery. I hold true raffles not lotteries. There's a difference between a raffle and a lottery.
    Edit:
    i don't appreciate the negative comments about my offerings. This discourages people. Please do not make it look like i'm a scammer because i'm not. If you don't want to participate then please do not comment. Please post only questions about my raffles not negative comments. Try it for yourself first and KNOW how it is before saying something negative.

    The first two comments weren't negative, they were just releasing x10 of any and all liability if you are a scammer, and the third one is just... well... stating the truth.

    I'm sorry if my comments hurt your sentiments in any way. I did not mean to damage your reputation. I was just pointing out that we had trouble some time back with a similar raffle except for the prize and it ended on a sour note.

    Yes, i think your comments did ruin my promotion. And I think it scared everyone away, I would appreciate it if you can undo all that. Your apologies would then have true meaning and really mean something to me.

    One another note. I've edited my first post and added references and proof. Feel free to go over it.

    There isn't any way he can "take it back" and I highly doubt it ruined anything. As some of the staff stated, people were burned once by a raffle that was held on this forum. I doubt anyone posting and stating the x10 rules and policy is going to scare anyone away. People aren't coming because its a raffle in a forum. This is a free hosting company, not a Bingo parlor. Most are here because they can't afford the paid hosting, how can they afford a raffle where they "may / may not" win.

    Since you seem to think we ruined your rep, and scared everyone away, then I'll solve this problem and close the raffle. If you'd like to run a raffle - try hosting a webpage with it.
