Status: In Production 

Release date: April 13th 

Currently, non-US customers can create raffles and sweepstakes experiences freely. At the request of our legal team and to reduce support overhead, we’re locking down raffles and sweepstakes for non-US customers so that they are only available to those who contact us, are reviewed, and are approved to use those Activities.  

The essential requirement here is that non-US Organizations that want to run a raffle or sweepstakes will need to contact support to discuss their Organization and needs and then manually be approved to run these types of Experiences. We’ll add a new setting in Administration, so it is possible to enable and disable raffles and sweepstakes separately at the Organization-level.  

In the “Manage” menu on each row in the “Organizations” section of Administration, RallyUp administrators and Partner administrators will find a new option titled “Experience settings” (see screenshot). When that button is clicked, it will open the new modal shown at the top of this changelog post.  

Administrators can use this modal to control if a specific Organization can run raffles or sweepstakes. When the checkboxes are checked on, the Organization can run a raffle or sweepstakes. By default, they are checked off for non-US organizations so that these Activities will be disabled in Experience Setup for these users. This modal can be used for all Organizations, not only non-US organizations. This gives administrators greater flexibility in case raffles and sweepstakes need to be disabled for any Organization for any reason in the future.  

The Organizations with raffles or sweepstakes disabled in the “Experience settings” modal will still be able to see both the Raffle and Sweepstakes activities in Experience Setup. However, when the Organizer tries to select either of them, they will be met with a new modal (see screenshot below). This modal will help the Organizer start the communication process to determine if raffles and sweepstakes should be enabled for their Organization. Or the Organizer can select a different Activity type and continue setting up their fundraiser.
