Raffall Responds to Arizona Department of Gaming Notice

London, UK - September 17, 2025 - Raffall, the trusted global platform for online competitions, has issued a statement in response to the Arizona Department of Gaming’s (ADG) recent notice regarding the Phoenix Dream Home Sweepstakes.

For more than a decade, Raffall has provided a safe, transparent, and legally compliant platform for millions of entrants and thousands of hosts worldwide. Every competition hosted on Raffall is conducted independently and fairly, with winners selected by Raffall’s system—not the host—ensuring full integrity and protection for participants. In over 10 years of operation, no competition on Raffall has ever been cancelled, and winners have always received their prizes.

While Raffall respectfully disagrees with the ADG’s characterization of its operations in Arizona, the company has acted swiftly to address concerns and demonstrate its commitment to compliance. Effective immediately, Raffall has:

• Implemented geo-blocking to prevent Arizona residents from entering any competitions.
• Introduced a U.S. mailing address for postal entries, making free entry more accessible for participants across the United States.

These measures will remain in effect unless and until Arizona regulators confirm that Raffall’s enhanced compliance framework meets their expectations. Raffall’s U.S. legal counsel has confirmed that its model is fully compliant under both federal and Arizona state law, and continues to engage with regulators directly.

Importantly, the Phoenix Dream Home Sweepstakes remains live, all existing entries are valid, and winners will be drawn independently and fairly in line with Raffall’s strict safeguards.

“Our priority is, and always has been, to protect entrants and ensure every competition is safe, transparent, and legally compliant,” said Stelios Kounou, CEO of Raffall. “We are confident in our model and long-standing reputation for integrity, and we remain committed to cooperating fully with regulators wherever we operate.”

Raffall continues to lead the industry in providing safe, legal, and transparent online raffles, sweepstakes, and prize competitions, trusted by millions of users worldwide.
