Anyone over the age of 18 can enter the Spond Superdraw via a group's personalised fundraising page. If you're in a Spond group that hasn't started a campaign then nudge your admin to get going.

There's no risk to your team as Spond provides all of the prizes. With guaranteed winners each month. Win win!

How can my team raise funds?

Any user with admin permissions in Spond can setup a fundraising campaign in the app or in Spond Club. Creating a fundraising campaign takes less than 60 seconds and Spond provides all of the digital collateral you and your members need to share and promote the Superdraw with your family, friends and supporters. The more entries you sell, the more you make. Simple! We provide a dashboard and reporting tools for you to track progress and settle funds directly into your group's bank account when the fundraising campaign closes.

Who can sell Superdraw entries?

When a fundraising campaign is setup in Spond, the group's admin nominates which members of the team can be sellers of the Superdraw. Each seller receives a personalised mobile landing page, with a unique tracking URL and QR code that can be shared and promoted for them to help sell tickets, and generate sales towards hitting your fundraising target.

Is there a limit on how much we can raise?

No! We've had clubs and groups raise from £5 to £10,000+ and everywhere in between. Your club or group receives 50% of all entries you sell via your campaign. The more you sell, the more you raise.

What is Spond Superdraw?

Spond Superdraw is a monthly networked prize draw that runs across participating groups in Spond. We provide you, your team and your supporters, with the chance to win awesome prizes in an exciting online draw that includes guaranteed prizes each month.

How can I leave a group?

Go to the group > press 'more' and scroll down to 'leave group’.

Why can’t I find a group?

It is not possible to manually search for a specific group, as Spond only generates closed groups. You will be automatically added to a group if you are invited by the group administrator. If you have been invited but cannot see the group or group invitation when you log in, ask the administrator if they have added you with the same contact info as you registered with.
