  • Simply does what it says

    I am very happy with this plugin. It is simple but is exactly what I need to run an online sweepstakes. I required some support from Mike and he was very prompt in responding.

  • Amazing Plugin!

    I have been looking so long for such a plugin. All these social media linking contest plugin are trash. This plugin is easy and great! My company organized a raffel with about 5000 participants. The function to upload a code list including prizes and prize description made the set up so easy.

  • Love it!

    A great plugin, easy to use and maintain. I'm surprised there is very little in the way of plugins to run competitions such as this - definitely worth checking it out
