When do I pay to unlock contacts?
Creating and running raffles is free. You only pay once you decide to unlock and download your contact list after the event.
Does RaffleBoost integrate with CRMs like HubSpot or Salesforce?
Currently, you can export leads as CSV or Excel and import them into any CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, etc.). Native integrations are on our roadmap — let us know which CRM you use.
How do I prevent duplicate or fake entries?
RaffleBoost validates email addresses when participants submit the form. You can review all entries before unlocking and remove any duplicates or suspicious submissions. Each raffle also shows the total participant count in real-time.
Can I use RaffleBoost for virtual or hybrid events?
Yes! Share your raffle link via email, social media, webinar chat, or virtual event platforms. Participants can enter from anywhere. Perfect for online conferences, webinars, or hybrid trade shows.
Can I test different registration forms?
Yes — create multiple raffles with different form fields, messaging, or prizes to see what converts best. Each raffle has its own QR code and unique link, making it easy to compare performance across events or booth locations.
How is RaffleBoost different from paper signup sheets or badge scanners?
vs. Paper forms: Digital entries are instant, validated, and export-ready — no manual typing or illegible handwriting.

vs. Business cards: People love raffles, so you'll capture 3-4x more contacts than asking for business cards.

Complements badge scanners: Many exhibitors use both — badge scanners for official attendees, RaffleBoost to capture everyone else (partners, press, walk-ins). The raffle also naturally drives booth traffic.

vs. iPad signup apps: No downloads required, works on any device, and the raffle element increases engagement.
