-
What happens if I send the prize to the winner but they say that they didn't receive it?
The winner has the option to dispute the raffle if they didn't receive the prize or if its not as advertised. If this happens a member of our Disputes Team will open an investigation and for this reason it's important that you keep tracking receipts and/or proof of shipment/delivery in order to build a stronger case in your favor. Until now we've never encountered this scenario as winners have no incentive or motivation to lie about not receiving a prize because they didn't actually purchase it.
