Basics

Name, URL, banner image, and description — the first impression of your raffle.

Last reviewed 5 June 2026

The basics are what a ticket buyer sees first, so this step is worth a little care. You'll set:

  • Name — what your raffle is called. Make it clear at a glance ("Westside FC Summer Raffle"), not clever-but-vague.
  • URL — the raffle's web address. It sits after your organisation's slug: tickets.rafflelink.com/your-org/this-raffle.
  • Banner image — the hero image on your raffle page.
  • Description — the pitch. Tell supporters what the raffle is for and how their entry makes a difference.

Banner image size

Aim for 1200×630px (a 1.91:1 ratio). That's the sweet spot that looks crisp on the raffle page and when your link is shared on social media.

No image? Browse free stock photos

You don't have to supply your own picture. When you add a banner (or a prize image), the picker has two tabs: Upload and Stock Photos. Open Stock Photos, search for what you're after, page through the results, and choose Use This Image.

The photos come from Pexels and are free to use commercially. RaffleLink credits the photographer automatically on your public raffle page — you don't have to do anything.

Give it your colour

By default your raffle page uses RaffleLink's branding. In the Accent Colour & Banner Image block you can change that: next to Accent color, choose Change colour and pick from Default (RaffleLink branding) or eight presets — Orange, Berry, Fuchsia, Violet, Blue, Teal, Green, and Gold.

The accent flows through the buttons, links, and highlights on your public raffle page — and it carries over into Present your results if you run a reveal on the night.
