Preview and activate
See your raffle as a buyer would, then take it live.
You've built it — now check it and go live.
Preview first
Before activating, preview your raffle to see exactly what a ticket buyer will see: your banner, description, prizes, and the purchase flow. It's the best way to catch a typo or a missing image while it's still easy to fix.
Activate
When you're happy, activate the raffle. You'll confirm the go-live date, and your raffle becomes active — it goes public on its scheduled start date and starts selling tickets.
The draw still won't happen on its own
Activating sets your raffle live; it doesn't schedule the draw. When the draw date arrives, you run the draw yourself — by design, so you can check everything over first. There's no automatic draw to worry about.
What changes after you activate
Once live, you manage the raffle from its dashboard, and editing moves into a more careful mode — some fields stay editable, some notify ticket buyers, and the ticket price is locked. See How creating a raffle works for the summary, with the full breakdown in What you can change after activation.
