We're revamping the Spond Superdraw experience, focusing on giving you more opportunities to raise funds and rewarding your supporters with the chance to win big cash prizes.

What are the changes to Spond Superdraw?

Spond Superdraw now features three major draws per year: Easter, Summer, and Halloween. The prize money has increased to £1,750 per draw, and our commission rate has been reduced to 35%.

When are the draws happening?

Draws take place at Easter (March 31st), Summer (July 31st), and Halloween (October 31st).

When can I set up a campaign?

You can set up your fundraising campaign as soon as the previous draw is complete, and then any time up to seven days before the next draw takes place.

When do sales start?

Sales start two months before the draw date, on the first of the month. ie. Easter Superdraw sales start on February 1st.

Why did Spond change the Superdraw schedule?

The changes aim to create more significant, exciting events that better support club and group fundraising efforts, making each draw a special occasion.

How will the prize distribution work in the new Superdraw?

In each draw, the total prize of £1,750 will be divided among three winners: £1,000 for the first prize, £500 for the second, and £250 for the third.

What's happened to the monthly draws?

The monthly draws have been replaced with the three annual draws to focus on larger, more impactful fundraising events.

How much does Spond take from the cost of each entry?

The commission is 35%, reduced from the previous rate of 50%. This primarily goes towards the prize fund, managing the platform, hosting, etc.

How does the reduced commission rate benefit clubs and groups?

With a lower commission rate of 35%, more of the funds raised from entry sales will go directly to your club or group, enhancing your fundraising efforts. Spond still pays 100% of the prizes.

What is Spot the Ball, and how does it relate to Superdraw?

Spot the Ball is an on-demand fundraising tool within the Spond App, offering a flexible, year-round fundraising option alongside the thrice-yearly Superdraw events. This means you can still start a fundraising campaign at a time that suits you.

When will the Superdraw changes take effect?

These changes are effective immediately. The next upcoming draw will be the Easter Superdraw.
