the one-minute version.
From any phone that can send a text. Takes about 10 seconds — your account is created from your phone number, right there.
Your first play earns a point and with it your ticket. Everyone in the drawing has equal odds — one play or one hundred.
Every point counts toward the monthly leaderboard, and the top scorer takes the contest prize. Optional — your drawing odds never change.
two games, one rafl.
Every month runs both at once. Every play you make counts in each — but they work differently on purpose.
the drawing
luckA free monthly prize drawing. Your first play gets you a ticket, and every ticket has equal odds — playing more, spending money, or topping the leaderboard never changes your chances. Winners are drawn at random at the end of the month.
the leaderboard
skillA monthly points contest. Every play earns points, and the most points at month's end wins the top prize. No luck involved — the standings are the standings, and you can watch yourself climb all month.
One thing to remember: points climb the leaderboard, never your drawing odds.
ways to earn points.
Every play works over text — just message the keyword and follow along. Play in the app instead and the same plays earn 5x the points.
Some plays involve a purchase you were already making. Purchases earn points only — they never change your drawing odds.

built to be fair. on purpose.
rafl runs two legally distinct games: a free monthly sweepstakes — equal odds, no purchase necessary, ever — and a skill contest decided by the points leaderboard. Purchases and points never change your drawing odds. Players must be 18 or older and Mississippi residents; rafl is live in the Jackson Metro to start. If you win, we text you — you'll verify your identity before any prize is released. Official Rules →
fair questions.
is it really free?
Yes. Texting WIN costs nothing beyond your standard message rates, and entering the drawing never costs anything. Purchases can earn points — but points never change your drawing odds.
what can I win?
Real prizes from real local businesses — mostly gift cards to spots around the metro. Each month's pool is split between the drawing and the leaderboard; this month's is on the Giveaways page.
do I need the app?
No. Everything works over text. The app is the upgrade — 5x the points, the rafl tag, and instant rewards — and your account carries over automatically because it's tied to your phone number.
what's a rafl tag?
A small sign posted at partner businesses — near the door or the counter. Inside is the same chip technology as tap-to-pay: if your phone can tap to pay, it can tap a rafl tag. App players tap it to play on the spot.
who can play?
Mississippi residents 18 and older. rafl is starting in the Jackson Metro — more cities are on the way.
what happens if I win?
We text you. You'll verify your identity — quick and secure — and then your prize is released. Most prizes are redeemed right at the partner business.
