Each PollyPrize raffle operates within specific timeframes and might have limits on ticket sales.

​
Key Parameters

  • Start Time: The exact time when a raffle becomes active and users can begin purchasing or claiming tickets. You cannot enter before this time.
  • End Time: The planned time when the raffle entry period is scheduled to close.
    • If not specified, the raffle has no scheduled end date and will only end when the Hard Cap is reached (or potentially if manually closed by admins in rare cases).
  • Minimum Tickets Sold (Soft Cap):
    • This is the minimum number of total tickets that must be sold for the raffle to be eligible for winner selection after the End Time has passed.
    • If the End Time arrives but the Soft Cap has not been met, the raffle remains active and continues accepting entries until the soft cap is reached (or the hard cap, if set). Admins may also lower the soft cap later to allow resolution.
    • If set to 0, there is no minimum requirement for resolution after the End Time.
  • Maximum Tickets Sold (Hard Cap):
    • This is the absolute maximum number of tickets that can be allocated for the raffle.
    • If this number is reached, the raffle ends immediately, regardless of the End Time.
    • If not specified, there is no limit on the total number of tickets that can be sold (unless an End Time is reached).
  • Maximum Tickets Per Address:
    • Limits how many tickets a single wallet address can purchase or claim for a specific raffle.
    • If not specified, there is no limit per individual wallet (besides the overall Hard Cap).
