Amino Raffles work like this:

When you make a raffle, s who want to participate will repost the original raffle post, or make a new one using the same picture. They also might give you examples of the request they want.

¨˜°ºஓ¨ ♡ ¨ஓº°˜¨

You see these s blogs by putting the hashtag within the raffle post. This way s will be able to get their post seen by the creator.

¨˜°ºஓ¨ ♡ ¨ஓº°˜¨

Once the host posts the raffle blog, Amino s who are interested in the raffle will . To , they will create a new blog/repost the host's blog. They may include specific requests for their prizes for if they win, although this may also be discussed after the winners are announced. Their blogs, however, should include the raffle hashtag, so that it would be seen by the host.

After some time, the host will distribute numbers to the raffle participants. Usually this is done by order of participation. (For example, if you first, your would get the number 1.

3.

Choosing the Winners

After the deadline is reached. The host will draw a random number starting from 1 to the last number to . They will typically use a random number generator, such as random.org, to avoid bias.

For example, there are 100 people who ed the raffle. The host will input numbers 1 to 100. The host draws a random number using the generator. The number is 99. The person who was assigned number 99 is the winner. (If there are more than one winning slots, this process will continue).
