What is Spond Superdraw?


Spond Superdraw is the most exciting way yet for your team to raise money in Spond.

Three times each year, we run a networked prize draw for participating clubs and groups in Spond, in which you, your members and your supporters have the chance to win unbelievable prizes in an online draw.

In each Spond Superdraw, we give away guaranteed prizes, ranging from cash and games consoles to gift vouchers.

Spond Superdraw works brilliantly as a fundraiser. Create a campaign for your team in Spond and then we’ll pay you a share of every digital Superdraw entry you sell. It's that simple.

Whether you sell thousands of entries or just a handful, you will always receive your share of the proceeds and, because Spond provides all of the prizes, there's absolutely no risk to your team.

How does Spond Superdraw work?

  • Spond runs Spond Superdraw three times per year and the draw takes place around the last day of the month. Clubs and groups can set up and promote a campaign and join the draw at any time.

  • The draw is networked and all prizes are supplied by Spond, which means you get to keep 65% of all entries sold by your club or group. The other 35% is retained by Spond to cover administration of the draw and the prize(s).

  • The prize(s) will change each draw and will be clearly advertised on the draw pages in the Fundraising section of the Spond app, and on the website.

  • Club and group admins promoting a campaign can nominate members to sell entries for Spond Superdraw, and they will each receive their own personalised fundraising page.

  • All aspects of the draw itself, apart from sale of entries, are managed by Spond, which means you can focus all your energies on maximising sales for your club or group.
