Legacy DragonByte Raffles - Product specifications

DragonByte Raffles is a powerful solution for hosting prize draws on your forum. With features like multi-currency support for easy integration into points mods like vBCredits II Deluxe, you can offer new ways of earning different points for your forum.

Major Features

Automatically Drawn Raffles: Scheduled tasks automatically draw your raffles when their Draw Date is up.

Multiple Currency Support: You are able to integrate with other points mods like vBCredits by adding their currencies to this mod. You can also charge users the entry cost to the raffle in one currency, and give them prizes in other currencies.

Performance Oriented: Using modern coding techniques, the modification uses less resources than previous DBTech mods by only loading its data when it's explicitly needed.


Major Features (Pro)

Recurring Raffles: Never again create manual raffles or be forced to copy your existing ones, as you can configure raffles to recur once they draw, completely automatically.

Per-Category Usergroup Permissions: Want to reserve a raffle category for only a select few members? Bigger prizes, lower entry cost, you name it. You can fine-tune the usergroup permissions on a per-category basis, even allow usergroups who are globally denied from the Raffle system access to only the categories you choose.
