What is Fiddyfiddy?
Fiddyfiddy is a digital 50/50 raffle platform designed for charity fundraising. Players buy tickets, and when the raffle ends, one lucky winner takes home half the pot while the other half goes to the beneficiary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this legal?
50/50 raffles are legal in most states when run for charitable purposes. Check your local regulations. A few states (AL, HI, UT) prohibit raffles entirely.
Why is the Standard jackpot capped at $600?
Winnings under $600 don't require IRS Form W-2G reporting, which keeps things simple for everyone. For bigger raffles, see Fiddy Unlimited (up to $5,000) — the organizer handles IRS reporting on their end.
How do payments work?
Players pay the organizer directly via Venmo. The organizer pays the winner via Venmo after the drawing. Fiddyfiddy doesn't handle any money directly.
What if the winner doesn't respond?
Organizers can redraw a new winner if the original winner doesn't respond within a reasonable time (usually 48 hours).
How much does it cost?
Fiddyfiddy takes a small percentage from each raffle to keep the platform running. Contact us for details on pricing.
