Is Entering My Card Details Safe and Secure?
Online raffle providers must ensure that a legitimate payment platform is used to receive payments for raffle tickets. In fact, it can be quite a task for a bank or card provider to approve an online raffle business. This is because online raffles (officially Prize Competitions) may be deemed as associated as ‘gambling’, even though the Gambling Commission do not class them as this.
Banks are then cautious when providing accounts to online raffle businesses. It’s incredibly doubtful that you will ever see the big banks, such as Lloyds, HSBC or Nationwide provide such a service to a business in this industry.
