FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



London, UK &#8211; September 17, 2025 &#8211; Raffall, the trusted global platform for online competitions, has issued a statement in response to the Arizona Department of Gaming’s (ADG) recent notice regarding the Phoenix Dream Home Sweepstakes.



For more than a decade, Raffall has provided a safe, transparent, and legally compliant platform for millions of entrants and thousands of hosts worldwide. Every competition hosted on Raffall is conducted independently and fairly, with winners selected by Raffall’s system—not the host—ensuring full integrity and protection for participants. In over 10 years of operation, no competition on Raffall has ever been cancelled, and winners have always received their prizes.



While Raffall respectfully disagrees with the ADG’s characterization of its operations in Arizona, the company has acted swiftly to address concerns and demonstrate its commitment to compliance. Effective immediately, Raffall has:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Implemented geo-blocking to prevent Arizona residents from entering any competitions.</li>



<li>Introduced a U.S. mailing address for postal entries, making free entry more accessible for participants across the United States.</li>
</ul>



These measures will remain in effect unless and until Arizona regulators confirm that Raffall’s enhanced compliance framework meets their expectations. Raffall’s U.S. legal counsel has confirmed that its model is fully compliant under both federal and Arizona state law, and continues to engage with regulators directly.



Importantly, the Phoenix Dream Home Sweepstakes remains live, all existing entries are valid, and winners will be drawn independently and fairly in line with Raffall’s strict safeguards.



“Our priority is, and always has been, to protect entrants and ensure every competition is safe, transparent, and legally compliant,” said Stelios Kounou, CEO of Raffall. “We are confident in our model and long-standing reputation for integrity, and we remain committed to cooperating fully with regulators wherever we operate.”



Raffall continues to lead the industry in providing safe, legal, and transparent online raffles, sweepstakes, and prize competitions, trusted by millions of users worldwide.

London, UK &#8211; November 6th, 2024 &#8211; A heartfelt idea from the Irish countryside is beginning to capture hearts and headlines worldwide. Imelda Collins, an Irish health worker from County Leitrim, has launched a remarkable competition on Raffall — giving entrants the chance to win her fully furnished, two-bedroom home, Butterfly Cottage, for just £5.



Hosted on the trusted online competition platform Raffall, the raffle offers participants from around the world the opportunity to own a turnkey home nestled on 1.75 acres of scenic Irish countryside. The winner will receive the property fully furnished, with all legal fees and stamp duty covered by Collins herself.



“I did a lot of research on it,” says Collins. “I didn’t just wake up one day and decide to raffle it. I was inspired by another Irishwoman who raffled her Dublin flat to move to Paris — her story felt similar to mine.”



Having purchased Butterfly Cottage in 2022 for €133,000 (approximately $150,000 USD), Imelda has since renovated it extensively — adding insulated floors, a new boiler, and a fitted kitchen — transforming the property into a warm and sustainable modern home.



The competition launched in October 2024, with a target of 150,000 tickets at £5 each. If the goal is reached, the lucky winner will become the new owner of Butterfly Cottage. If not, a generous cash alternative will be awarded instead.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Modern Platform for a Timeless Idea</h3>



Collins’ story exemplifies a growing trend — people turning to Raffall as a transparent and secure way to sell assets, fund new ventures, or give others life-changing opportunities.



“During the pandemic, we saw house raffles become a phenomenon,” said Stelios Kounou, CEO and Founder of Raffall. “We never imagined people would raffle entire homes, but it has become one of the most trusted, exciting, and fair ways for people to achieve something extraordinary.”



Since its inception, Raffall has hosted over 44,000 competitions, awarded more than 130,000 prizes, and generated over $63 million in revenue for competition hosts worldwide. Every draw is conducted independently, ensuring complete fairness and compliance with international regulations.



Collins chose Raffall because of its full-service approach — handling payments, compliance, draw management, and winner verification — allowing her to focus on sharing her story and connecting with entrants personally.



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Power of a Personal Touch</h3>



While many hosts rely solely on social media and advertising, Collins took a refreshingly old-fashioned approach. She handwrote personal letters to several U.S. media outlets — sharing her story in her own words and hoping it might resonate with someone abroad.



“Her authenticity shines through,” added Kounou. “It’s a beautiful reminder that human stories still matter — and that platforms like Raffall exist to help make those stories possible.”



As excitement continues to build, entrants from across the globe — including Ireland, the UK, Europe, Canada, and the U.S. — are joining in for a chance to win a little piece of Ireland and become part of this unique journey.
