Player funded monthly raffle.

Suggest new features or changes to Chicken Smoothie.

Would you also like to see a player funded raffle page?

I would donate every month.

Player funded monthly raffle.

Postby himarry 124 » Wed Aug 20, 2025 2:07 pm

Im not sure if this has been suggested but the basic idea is to have a raffle page with an hourly banner, people like myself who wish to see more activity on the site can donate some of our extra pets to the pool, at the first of every month x amount of winners get chosen based on the size of pets donated during the previous month. This would help with engagement seeing as people who normally play only during events would have something to do all year round.

(This is not ment to be a replacement for the pound I just think it would be cool if we could help try to bring back casual players.)

My biggest question is how people would enter. Is it free to enter? If they have to pay that would be gambling which is not allowed on the site.

You could have people donate pets to the pound in order to enter, could be a good way to incentivize that as well

This might still be considered gambling if you have to give something to possibly win. I definitely think Staff would need to weigh in on that part.

I stated in the post a hourly banner, no entry fee just something to come back and click on like any other event

Ok the hourly banner confused me. Can you explain how it would work?

So just like the hourly banner in the tavern there would be an hourly banner on the raffle page when you click it you get 1 more ticket in the draw.

I would be interested in this, but I'm not sure if it would be considered gambling or not. Def need a staff to weigh in since even raffle stuff is still chance/rng/gamble to some. :o

For whatever its worth, CS has done raffles in the past. Looks like all you had to do to enter was click a button. I think this would be fun even if pets aren't listed as prizes like in this example and i just really want those stickers ok
