Raffle House guarantees £500k property in world first
House raffle company will award newly renovated, £500,000 two-bed London property in latest draw even if ticket threshold is not met
Raffle House has become the first house raffle competition operator globally to guarantee a property as the top prize ahead of its current draw.
A newly renovated £500,000 two-bed apartment in East London will be awarded to a lucky winner when the competition closes in July this year.
Raffle House will also cover Stamp Duty and legal fees, with tickets to the competition costing just £10 each.
With around half of the required tickets already sold, the odds of winning are incredibly favourable. The draw date may be brought forward if the ticket target is met before the closing date of 31 July.
Raffle House has already awarded a life-changing cash prize for its first draw when Lois Wright took home a cheque for £173,012.93 in August 2019.
Since then, a further 22 lucky weekly prize-winners have scooped £1,000 each via Raffle House’s guaranteed weekly £1,000 giveaways, which entrants are automatically entered into when they buy tickets to the main property draw.
The first competition also raised more than £13,000 for homelessness charities Centre Point and Housing for Women.
Benno Spencer, Raffle House CEO, said: “We are delighted to guarantee the property for our current competition, becoming the first house raffle business in the world to do so.
“Doing life-changing things means taking big steps, and we’re proud to be able to offer this amazing property to our customers for just £10.
“We are also maintaining donations to two very worthy homelessness charities, Centre Point and Housing For Women. We aim to raise £15,000 for our charities this time around.
“Guaranteeing the property establishes Raffle House as the leading house raffle company that does what it says it will do and awards properties to players.”
TV property expert Sara Damergi (A Place in the Sun, Coast vs Country) has been working with Raffle House ahead of its second prize draw. She says:
“I’m so pleased to support Raffle House and its mission to become the number one house raffle operator in the UK. This is such an interesting and fun concept especially when owning a home is now out of reach for so many.
“Guaranteeing the property as the main prize for its current draw is an absolute first in the industry which is huge and means that one player will win a flat in London worth around half a million when the competition closes.
“If you have a spare tenner, buy a ticket to the competition – you have to be in it to win it!”
The news that January’s ICE Barcelona will include a major new feature dedicated to global gaming’s most influential trade associations has been welcomed by organisations in Europe and abroad.
Making full use of the additional space at the Gran Via Fira de Barcelona, the first ICE Association Assembly has been created to enable trade bodies to promote their values and create new opportunities for the gaming community across every sector and geography, including both the Brussels-based European Casino Association (ECA) and the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM), the global trade association for gaming equipment suppliers with its primary headquarters in Las Vegas.
Erwin Van Lambaart, Chair of the ECA confirmed: “Our members are already planning their week in Barcelona and they will be at this historic edition of ICE in great numbers. ICE is a pivotal event for the global gaming community and having a show floor feature which will enable us to engage directly with all sectors is a unique opportunity.
“Traditionally, our association’s involvement at ICE and its Conference program has primarily centred around networking and product development orientation—connecting with our members, regulators, suppliers, and fellow trade bodies. However, ICE 2025 marks a significant milestone. For the first time, the ECA will have the chance to fully interface with the global industry supply chain in its entirety. We are looking forward to this unique opportunity to articulate our vision for the future to a diverse and comprehensive audience, where innovation, responsibility and significant partnerships for guest and customer centricity will have centre stage.”
Daron Dorsey, CEO of AGEM added: “We represent the interests of our gaming suppliers whose well-known brands are global in reach, so to be given the opportunity to explain our agenda and engage with what is a truly international audience of association colleagues on the ICE show floor is invaluable.”
January’s editions of ICE and iGB Affiliate will occupy 120,000sqm of space compared to the 100,00sqm at ICE 2024. In a major endorsement of the opportunities offered by the relocation to Barcelona 72% of the 25 biggest exhibitors will have an increased stand presence at ICE 2025.
