RAFFLE WEBSITE DESIGN SPECIALISTS
Nera Marketing is a UK competition and raffle website builder. We design and build bespoke, client-owned platforms with compliant entry routes, specialist payment processing and performance hosting.
Rated 5.0 by UK operators on Google and Trustpilot
Competition and raffle website design, plus everything around it
Nera Marketing works one-to-one with UK competition and raffle operators from the first brief through to launch, the first draw and long-term growth.
A raffle website builder has to support more than ticket sales. After delivering more than 50 UK raffle websites, Nera Marketing connects brand, compliance, payment approval, marketing, player acquisition and ongoing support around one platform that you own outright.
COMPLIANCE AND PAYMENT READINESS
At Nera Marketing, we design and build UK competition and raffle websites with the entry structure, core policies and specialist payment setup prepared before launch.
Skills-based competitions are structured around Section 14 of the Gambling Act 2005, with a genuine question based on skill, knowledge or judgement. Paid draws with a free or postal entry route follow a separate legal structure.
Core terms and conditions are prepared alongside your build, covering entry rules, eligibility, prize details, closing dates, winner notification and complaints.
Consent, privacy and cookies are mapped to your competition website using UK GDPR data protection by design. Promotional messaging is reviewed against ASA and CAP guidance for prize draws.
Mainstream ecommerce providers often restrict competition transactions. We manage the specialist merchant application, gateway integration and hosted payment processing before launch, including Apple Pay and Google Pay where approved.
NERA GAMES
Nera Games gives players more reasons to return with Spin the Wheel, Scratch Cards and Slots designed around your brand. Every ticket, result and reward stays connected inside the WordPress platform you own.

£14.5M+ Client sales on Nera-built platforms

Case study 01
Live client platform
Named client result
From no platform to £4.5M in 12 months.
Nera Marketing designed and built the Rusboy Competitions platform. Rusboy generated more than £4.5 million in competition sales during its first 12 months.
Starting point
Rusboy started with a focused motocross audience and no competition platform. We built the website, compliance structure, payment integration and performance setup as one connected product.
What we delivered
“Nera built us a platform that actually converts. The payment gateway was live before we launched and compliance was sorted from day one.”
Case study 02
Live client platform
Audience-led raffle website
650,000 followers. Now a raffle platform they own.
Nera Marketing designed and built The Meatbox Family raffle website. John and Eden's 650,000-strong following now enters meat raffles on a platform the family owns outright.
Starting point
John and Eden had 650,000 followers and a direct-from-farm meat business, but no way to run raffles themselves. We built the entry journey, payment approval and prize fulfilment around perishable farm prizes.
What we delivered
“Great, fast, professional service. We already had the following and they gave us a proper platform to run our raffles on. Would highly recommend to anyone.”
Case study 03
Desktop, tablet and mobile
Raffle website rebuild
£30K in the first month after relaunch.
Nera Marketing rebuilt the LR Luxe Competitions raffle website for its TikTok Live model. LR Luxe generated £30,000 in revenue during its first month after relaunch.
Starting point
LR Luxe had already launched, but the existing setup was limiting performance and confidence. We rebuilt the platform for its TikTok Live competition model while preserving its established brand.
What we delivered
“Launching correctly the second time made a real difference. The structure and payment setup gave us confidence to grow.”
Case study 04
Live client platform
Named client result
Cashflows approved, Meta ads live. 468 purchases at £2.65 each.
Nera Marketing built the Cars and Kettles platform and now runs its Meta campaigns. The measured campaign delivered 468 tracked purchases at a blended £2.65 cost per purchase, with the best ad set at £1.33.
Starting point
Cars and Kettles came to Nera Marketing with a concept and no platform. We built the site, coordinated the Cashflows approval and now run the Meta campaigns, which delivered 468 tracked purchases at a blended £2.65 each.
What we delivered
“The platform handles draw day without any issues and the Meta setup has been a game changer. We are getting competition entries at £1.33 each on our best campaigns.”

From first brief to first draw
Whether you are launching a competition or raffle website, one specialist team manages the platform, compliance structure, payment application and launch preparation together.
Most builds take three to four weeks. The workstreams run in parallel so payment approval and marketing setup do not become last-minute blockers.
We define the audience, prize model, brand direction, entry structure, platform requirements and launch priorities.
Commercial and compliance briefUX, visual design and content take shape while we start payment underwriting and map the required policies and documents.
Approved design and merchant packWe configure the competition engine, entry routes, checkout, tracking and hosting, then test the complete customer journey.
Launch-ready owned platformYou receive training and launch support. We stay available through the first draw, with optional marketing and ongoing platform support.
Training, launch and supportMETA RMG APPROVAL
We coordinate the independent legal review, complete the required website changes and prepare the evidence for your Meta application.
This is Meta approval, not a gambling licence. The legal opinion explains how your entry model sits under the Gambling Act 2005. The reviewer assesses the live website, terms and free entry route before the document is issued.
Nera Marketing coordinates the complete process on your behalf, working directly with an independent gambling licensing consultancy from the initial review through to the final opinion.
Get your website, legal opinion and Meta evidence handled in one coordinated process.

Launch with Meta tracking and customer retention foundations already connected.
Plan my growth setupThe best competition website builder should leave you in control if you change host or development partner. That means controlling the website files, database, customer data and the core technology needed to operate it.
When comparing a competition website builder online, check who owns the core platform, plugins and customer data. The same ownership test applies to any raffle competition website builder. Nera Marketing builds on WordPress and WooCommerce, then hands the complete platform to you. Some agency builds depend on supplier-controlled plugins or compulsory hosting. SaaS builders keep the platform inside a subscription.
| What ownership should give you | Platform you own Nera build | Agency controlled Terms vary by provider | SaaS subscription Platform access is rented |
|---|---|---|---|
| You control the platform, database and customer data | ✓ | Varies | × |
| Freedom to move to another hosting provider | ✓ | Varies | × |
| Another developer can maintain the complete build | ✓ | Varies | × |
| Access to the website files and database | ✓ | Varies | × |
| No compulsory monthly platform licence | ✓ | Varies | × |
| Core functions continue without supplier-controlled plugins | ✓ | Varies | × |
| Customer and competition data can be exported | ✓ | Varies | Varies |
Provider terms vary. Before signing, confirm who owns the website files, database and core plugins, whether hosting is compulsory, and whether another developer can maintain the platform.
