Demo preview — this is what your entrants see. Mobile-first, because most entries come from phones.
Every SaaS contest tool has the same fine print nobody reads: your contests, your entrant data, and your audience live on their platform — for exactly as long as they feel like keeping the lights on.
Rafflecopter ran giveaways for businesses since 2011 — fourteen years of contests, embeds, and entrant lists.
When it closed in October 2025, every account was deactivated, every embedded contest died, and the entry data was gone. Years of audience-building, erased by someone else's business decision.
That's the rented-platform risk: price hikes, shutdowns, account bans, an API that changes its mind. Your growth shouldn't depend on any of it.
The kit is designed to live entirely on generous free tiers. No hosting bill, no database bill, no "surprise" line items before you can launch.
Your contest page, admin, and draw screen run on Cloudflare's free tier — Pages, Worker, and D1 database included.
It creates itself on first run. No SQL, no console, no developer, no setup wizard from 2009. It just… exists.
Confirmations, reminders, and winner notices send through Resend's free tier from your own account.
Installation is guided and paste-ready. If you can copy, paste, and click "deploy," you can install this.
Your only real running cost, ever, is email sends if you grow huge. That's it — running cost ≈ email sends only.
Own My Giveaway isn't for "everyone." It's for owners who have somewhere to announce it — a Facebook Page or group (even a small one), an Instagram, YouTube or TikTok account, a website or online shop, or a physical shop with regulars — and something worth giving away: their own product, a gift card, or a year of access, at almost no cost. The contest is how a small audience becomes a big list. If that's you, this was made for you:
Give away a product bundle or gift card — your cost is wholesale, the perceived value is retail, and every entrant is a local buyer on your list.
A free month or a year of access costs you nearly nothing to give — and fills your Page, your group, and your trial pipeline at once.
Dinner for two, a gift card, a catering credit. Food prizes share themselves — and partners on your street will happily co-promote.
Launching a book, course, or community? Give away copies, seats, or a year inside — and launch to a list you built with the contest itself.
Embed the contest in your store or run it stand-alone. Non-winners get a promo code by email — the contest pays for itself in sales.
A treatment, a package, a consultation bundle. High perceived value, low real cost, and a local email list you can re-mail for every promotion after.
Be honest: Facebook doesn't reward "Like, tag 3 friends and share to win" posts anymore — and requiring shares or tags on personal timelines is against Meta's promotion rules. Those posts rent you reach you don't keep, for an audience you can't contact again.
Own My Giveaway moves the contest off Facebook and onto your own page. Facebook becomes the megaphone. Your site is the contest.
This isn't a landing-page template. It's the full system — entry, virality, partners, emails, the draw, and the list you keep.
Beautiful, mobile-first page with countdown, prize photos with lightbox, and confetti the moment someone enters. Most entries come from phones — so phones come first.
Email entry with consent and email confirmation. Only confirmed entrants enter the draw pool — so the list you export is clean, real, and yours.
Every entrant gets a unique link worth +5 entries per friend who joins through it. Your entrants become your marketing team.
Stack prizes from you and your partners under a dynamic "More than $X in prizes to win" banner that updates itself as you add prizes.
A weighted draw inside the system — weighted by entries, without replacement, per prize, with re-pick if needed. Plus a big live draw screen for revealing winners in your Facebook group or on stream. Or flip one prize to Top Referrer mode: your #1 referrer wins it outright — a referral race with a guaranteed winner.
Automated, in your colours: entry confirmation, mid-contest reminder, final-24-hours nudge, winner notice — and a non-winner email with a gift: a promo code so nobody leaves empty-handed and "losers" turn into buyers. Plus a free-form email you write yourself — your subject, your message — for partner spotlights and offers.
Dashboard with entrants, an optional public top-10 leaderboard ranked by referrals (emails masked, so visitors race to climb it), real CSV export, and settings export/import. Run the whole contest from your couch.
Embed it on any website, or run it as its own page on your domain — like contest.yourbrand.com. Brand name, colours, logo, and languages all live in settings, never hard-coded.
Your contest page speaks French, English and Spanish — visitors flip the frame with one toggle (FR | EN | ES). Write your content in the languages you use; anything left blank falls back gracefully to your main language, never to an empty page. Built Quebec-friendly too: French rules ready, Quebec INCLUDED (KingSumo's default rules actually exclude it), a skill-testing question flow built in, and free entry / no purchase necessary, as it should be.
An entrant can win the moment their email is confirmed — at odds you set (1 in N), while stock lasts. Not just “maybe at the final draw” — maybe right now.Winners know the second they confirm. Their exact words: “OMG!”
Download the QR PNG, copy a ready-made button snippet for your website, and print a poster in your brand colours for the counter or window. Generated inside the tool — no outside service.
An optional public “Our winners” section that appears once prizes are won — first name and initial only. Real winners on display become social proof for your next contest.
One click archives the finished contest — entrants and winners kept as a dated summary — and starts a fresh edition with prizes, partners, promos and emails intact.
The mid-contest and final-24-hours reminders can send themselves, right on schedule — and never double-send if you already sent one by hand.
This is the co-marketing trick big brands pay agencies for: each partner adds a prize, promotes the contest to their audience, and gets real followers in return — because entrants earn bonus entries for following them.
Partners hear the offer — real followers, zero cost, their prize under one big banner — and say “OMG.”
One big prize, two medium ones, gift cards — split however they like. It costs them little; it looks huge stacked together.
Five partners = five audiences hearing about one contest — yours. Your prize pool grows, your reach multiplies, your ad spend stays at zero.
Set each partner's Facebook and Instagram links in the kit. Following them earns entries — so partners gain real followers, not just a logo on a poster. That's why they say yes, and why they come back for the next one.
That banner writes itself — the kit totals your prizes automatically and puts the number front and centre on the contest page.
Most contest tools abandon you at the draw. This one gets more valuable after it — because the list you built stays inside the same product, ready to work.
Those entrants raised their hand for your brand. They're the warmest audience you'll ever have — and they're already sitting in your admin.
From inside the same admin, edit the subject and message and send a promo to the whole list: a new product launch, a sale weekend / Black Friday offer, a coupon for non-winners, a partner offer, or the announcement of your next contest.
No Mailchimp-style monthly fee just to keep your list alive, and no exporting and importing between platforms. The list lives where it was built.
Sends go out through your own sending domain (Resend) — built for mailing a crowd. Not a Gmail inbox that blocks you when you email everyone at once, and not Messenger, which has blocked people for messaging contest entrants. If you've hit that wall before, you know exactly why this matters.
At entry, an optional marketing consent checkbox — separate from entering, never required to win — lets entrants say yes to your offers and news. Promo emails go only to the people who ticked it, with an unsubscribe in every send. That's what keeps your list clean, welcome, and deliverable.
After any contest, email everyone who entered — a launch, a sale, a coupon — right from the same admin. The list keeps working.
Launch day with a built-in crowd — entrants sharing before you've sold a thing.
Authors: grow your reader list while giving away signed copies and bonuses.
Fill a Skool or Facebook group before doors open, with people who actually show up.
A lead magnet that spreads itself — confirmed emails, exported to CSV, yours forever.
Team up with neighbouring businesses: pooled prizes, pooled audiences.
Turn browsers into subscribers and subscribers into buyers — non-winners get a promo code, remember?
Build the list in November, sell to it all season.
Daily-return bonuses (+2/day) were basically invented for December.
Every 250 customers or members, run another one. Relaunch the same contest as a new edition in one click — prizes, partners and emails carry over, and the finished edition stays archived.
Gift cards and memberships make perfect prizes — and perfect partner bait.
Grow an audience around your work with prizes only you can give.
Open with a line-up — online first, then at the door.
Most owners won't run one huge contest — they'll run a rhythm. A small giveaway every month (often an Instant Win promo code), then bigger editions for back-to-school, Black Friday and the holidays. Relaunch starts each new edition in one click, and the list you build compounds all year long.
The product principle is simple: a complete beginner should succeed. Four fields, a duration, publish. The deep settings are there when you want them — under "Customize everything," not in your way.
Fill this in, and your contest page already looks finished.
Guided, paste-ready steps put the kit on your free Cloudflare + Resend accounts. One time, roughly a coffee's worth of clicking. No code to write.
Prize, value, brand, website, duration. Run the pre-launch checklist, hit Preview, then Publish. Need a rerun later? Relaunch it as a new edition in one click — prizes, partners and emails carry over, and the finished edition stays archived.
The Promote hub gives you the link, Facebook / X / email share buttons, badge & embed snippets with Copy buttons, and a ready-to-send invitation email. Then: draw winners live, and export your new email list.
