Patreon and raffles
9 years ago
General
So I was thinking over this some more recently,
I don't know if you read my previous journal regarding patreon but I decided I was going to switch out the monthly theme format with something else simply due to the lacking numbers and overall interest required to make such a thing work. The biggest idea that I would love to do is raffles for comms in it's stead. I like the idea since it's something I can give to every patron that won't inflate out of control in the work required department. But due to raffles technically counting as gambling they don't allow it on patreon. I've even read that DA doesn't like it either.
It's odd, since I don't really consider raffles of this nature to be close to other forms of gambling in terms of being addictive or amoral. So I've been thinking over other possible alternatives or ways to circumvent the situation

Can't take credit for the idea, it is what
Again, not really my idea.
What I have, is the 'prize box tier' I also put sketches on as well. So they get sketches, and the possibility to win the prize box as well. That way even if they don't win, they are still getting something.
