Migrating from Rafflecopter in 3 Steps
Stop looking for a Rafflecopter export
PickAWin doesn't need one. There's no account to create, no data to import. Just paste the URL of your next Instagram giveaway post.
Run your first free draw
Paste the comment list for a free draw — no credit card, no size limit. If you prefer automatic fetch from the post link, it is a one-time payment per draw.
Show the SHA-256 hash to your audience
Each draw uses a random 256-bit seed; the result shows the seed and SHA-256 hashes (also on the PDF certificate). Automatic draws get a public result page, and the hash can be checked at /verificar to confirm the published result was not edited afterwards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Rafflecopter shut down?+
Rafflecopter.com officially shut down on October 1, 2025. The company transitioned users to Woobox and closed the service. Existing users need a replacement for their giveaways going forward; PickAWin is one option for comment-based giveaways.
Is PickAWin the same as Rafflecopter?+
No. PickAWin is a different tool. It covers what many Rafflecopter users needed — fair random winner selection — with (1) a random seed and SHA-256 hashes on every result, (2) one payment per draw instead of a monthly subscription, (3) English, Spanish and Portuguese versions.
How do I migrate from Rafflecopter to PickAWin?+
There's nothing to migrate technically — PickAWin doesn't require a signup or account. Paste the comment list of your next giveaway for a free draw, or paste the Instagram post URL and pay once for automatic comment fetch (from US$ 7.99 per draw). Every draw comes with a PDF certificate.
How does PickAWin compare to Rafflecopter's other alternatives (Gleam, RafflePress, ViralSweep)?+
Gleam and ViralSweep are enterprise marketing platforms with $97–$500/month subscription fees. RafflePress is a WordPress plugin ($39–$399/year). PickAWin is different: pay per automatic draw (from US$ 7.99, one-time) or free in manual mode, with a SHA-256 record of every result. A fit for creators and small brands who want to show how the winner was picked without a subscription.
Can I export my winner list as PDF like Rafflecopter did?+
Yes. Every draw comes with a PDF certificate showing the SHA-256 hash, and automatic draws get a public result page whose hash can be checked at /verificar to confirm the published result was not edited afterwards.
What if I ran giveaways on Rafflecopter that need proof for compliance (FTC, ASA, Procon)?+
PickAWin gives you a record of each draw: the PDF certificate with the SHA-256 hash and, for automatic draws, a public result page. Whether that meets FTC, CAP Code, ACMA, CRTC, CONAR or other requirements depends on your rules and jurisdiction — ask a lawyer for high-value promotions.
Is there a free plan?+
Yes. The manual mode is free: paste the comment list and draw — no signup, no credit card, no size limit. Automatic fetch of comments from the post link is paid per draw; Premium adds a cinematic reveal.
