“Since starting Developer Rocket in 2015, after graduating with a degree in computer science. I have a good grasp of many programming languages so I am comfortable making more complex sites like competition websites!” – Dan

Raffle Websites
We are professional raffle/competition website developers. Our experience speaks for itself. The sites that we create allow our clients to grow their business.
How do you make a competition website?
We take care of everything so you can focus on your competition business.
- First, we get an understanding of your business and what kind of site you are looking for. Are you wanting a traditional raffle website with lots of competition or a more niche one with maybe only one or two competitions on at once? We can have an in-depth chat about this.
- We like to get our hands dirty quickly, once we fully understand what you like, we’ll start designing in Figma (a design tool to quickly make great looking sites). These tools allows us to collaborate with you, gaining feedback and making changes until you love the design.
- We make our competition websites in WordPress with all of the features you need. Taking the design from Figma and turning it into a fully functioning website.
- Testing and launch: once you are happy with the site, we’ll test that all the pages are working as they should, all the contact forms work, payments and ticket system work and all your requirements are set. Then we launch!
What's included in our competition site offering?
We take a complete, solutions-focused approach to building competition websites — from design and development through to after-launch support and industry guidance. If it’s part of running a competition platform, we can create it and help you manage it with confidence.
Web Design
Our web design approach focuses on creating competition sites that feel fast, modern, and trustworthy. Every page is crafted to guide customers smoothly from browsing prizes to entering competitions with confidence. The result? A polished, intuitive experience that helps you convert more visitors into players.
Competition Branding
A powerful brand helps your competition site stand out in a crowded market. We craft bold, modern branding that captures attention and makes your business instantly recognisable. From custom logos to consistent design systems, we ensure your brand feels premium, trustworthy, and built for growth.
Web Development
Our development process ensures your competition site is fast, stable, and built to handle real-world traffic. Every feature — from instant wins to ticket systems — is engineered with reliability and security in mind. We focus on clean, scalable code so your platform performs smoothly as your business grows.
Support
Our support doesn’t stop at launch. We’re here to keep your competition site running smoothly with prompt assistance, updates, and troubleshooting whenever you need it. Whether it’s fixing an issue or guiding you through new features, you always have an expert on hand.
Competition Site Features
Countdown timer and progress bar
Show a clean, eye-catching countdown timer so customers instantly know which competitions are ending soon. Because it updates in real time, it builds trust and makes your site feel transparent and engaging.
Display a dynamic progress bar to highlight how many tickets have been sold. When a competition is performing well, customers feel more confident buying. And if a competition is close to ending with fewer tickets sold, the progress bar helps customers recognise the improved odds—often encouraging last-minute purchases.
Fun & Exciting Games
With our custom-built system, you can offer a range of interactive games designed to elevate the customer experience and keep players coming back for more.
Our Slot Machine feature gives customers a fun, familiar way to try their luck — simply spin the wheel and see what they win. As an admin, you can fully customise the game with your own emojis, backgrounds, winning combinations, and prize rules. It’s an engaging, high-conversion feature that adds excitement to every competition.
Tap to reveal
Once players purchase their tickets, they can jump straight into the Tap to Reveal game. It’s simple, intuitive, and adds a satisfying layer of anticipation to every interaction. Each tap builds suspense as players uncover whether they’ve hit an instant win.
The game works seamlessly across all devices — mobile, tablet, and desktop — and scales effortlessly no matter how many tickets a customer purchases. It’s a quick, fun, and highly engaging experience that keeps players excited from the moment they buy their ticket.
Instant Wins
From running multiple competition sites, we’ve found that instant wins are one of the most powerful features for boosting engagement and sales. Customers love the excitement of winning right now rather than waiting for the final draw — and that instant gratification keeps them coming back. That’s why we ensure every competition site we build includes a seamless instant-win system.
Easily set up and manage groups of instant-win prizes that clearly show customers which prizes are available, which have already been claimed, and the exact ticket number needed to win. It’s transparent, engaging, and proven to drive more participation.
Spin Wheel Game
Users can spin the wheel for a chance to win instant prizes or unlock even bigger rewards, adding an extra layer of excitement to every competition. It’s an engaging, game-like experience that keeps players entertained and encourages them to stay on the site longer.
For those who prefer speed or convenience, the Reveal All option lets them see their results instantly, while Auto-Spin allows the wheel to do the work for them — perfect for creating anticipation and building that “just one more spin” feeling. These features not only enhance user satisfaction but also help increase conversions and repeat participation.
Skill Based Question
Many competition sites require entrants to answer a skill-based question before taking part. With our system, you have complete flexibility — set a unique question for each competition or use a global question across all your draws. It’s simple to manage and keeps your competitions fully compliant.
Free Postal Entry
Another key requirement is offering a free postal entry option. We can add a simple, easy-to-use button that clearly explains how it works, as well as an additional tab on the product page dedicated to providing all the required information.
According to the Gambling Commission, every competition must include a free postal entry route, and it must be presented just as clearly and prominently as the paid entry method. Our system makes it effortless to stay fully compliant while keeping everything transparent for your customers.
