How Free Raffles Work
- Find Free Raffles: Look for raffles explicitly marked as “Free Entry” or having a ticket price of 0.
- Check Eligibility (Gating): Free raffles almost always have entry requirements (Gating). You might need to:
- Hold a specific NFT or token on Abstract.
- Have a certain amount of PP.
- Be a specific VIP tier.
- Be in a snapshot of wallets or other custom list (possibly involving delegation, for instance if limited to holders of Pudhy Penguin NFTs on ETH Mainnet).
- Make sure you meet the criteria listed on the Raffle Detail page.
- Claim Your Entry: If you are eligible and the raffle is active, you’ll see an “Enter Free Raffle” or “Claim Free Tickets” button.
- Click Claim: Press the button.
- Confirm Transaction: You still need to confirm a transaction in your wallet and pay a small network gas fee (in ETH). This records your entry securely on the blockchain.
- Tickets Allocated: Once confirmed, you’ll receive the number of tickets specified for that raffle (often just 1 ticket, but check the details). Any applicable VIP bonuses might still apply!
One Claim Per Raffle: You can only claim the free ticket allocation once per eligible wallet per free raffle. Trying to enter again will result in an error.
Hybrid Raffles
Some raffles might offer both a free entry component and allow purchasing additional tickets with tokens/ETH/PP.- You can claim your free ticket(s) first using the “Enter Free Raffle” button.
- After claiming, you can then use the regular “Buy Tickets” options (ETH, Token, PP) to purchase more entries in the same raffle, up to any
maxTicketsPerAddresslimit.
