New Habbo Business/Trading Idea

Hey guys!

I came up with the idea recently and its been put into practice.

Basically its a site.. you go on and there are a number of 'raffles' being held. You choose an item or a bundle of items you are interested in, for example one raffle may be for 50 coins, or for 5 hc sofas, or for a hc set. Then you can buy raffle tickets. So for example for the 50 coins a raffle ticket may cost 20p. So you can buy as many as you want but the more you buy the more you have a chance of winning. So you buy, and pay for the tickets and you get emailed with raffle ticket number/s.

Through the system an administrator (myself) can set the minimum amount of tickets that have to be sold before the raffle is held so in this case it may be 30 which means (30 x 20p = £6.00) and guessing the average person will buy 5 tickets for £1 would mean this would be quite achievable. So anyway when the minimum amount of tickets have been sold everyone that enters gets an email saying that the raffle is going to be held, they will be notified if they have been lucky within 20 Minutes or whatever. So the system picks a number at random and emails the person. And i give the person the prize.

You may have noticed that the person who bought it got a bargain, everyone had a bit of fun hasnt really lost a great deal if they havent won and i have made a profit. As a gold bar is not £6 or whatever.

I would make it legit and so on. And i would NOT scam people. I would also hold raffles for other peoples stuff too.

What d'ya think? Would you wanna enter a raffle like this? Am i wasting my time? Any improvements i need to make?

The system has been developed, and is going through testing as we speak. And the number generator thing would be 100% fair and tested.


Thanks for your time guys :)

The idea isn't that original, habbox has been holding "lotto's" for a long time, except they are free to enter.I think your site may geta little traffic but not enough to make it very profitable or worth it but gl

Hey yeh, i mean even if i break even that's great. Basically i left habbo 6 months ago and pretty much need to get rid of all my stuff! So it gave me something to do when i was bored and as you said may get some traffic. I literally have like 2T worth of unpures so ya know! Thought it would be good idea to get rid of it all!

Ok, pretty valid points...

Although that post sounds overly complicated, I'm sure you basically just explained to concept of a raffle :P. Personally I doubt people will pay money to win about 5HCs when they can just pay a HC to the Habbox Lotto and possibly win 120HCs or something.

Not to mention I think you are over-estimating the amount of people who will actually trust you. Then take off of that the amount who don't even have PayPal accounts!

Also I'm not sure how over the moon Habbo would be with this. They're a bit iffy when you involve money with these things. They may argue it is effectively selling furni for money. They may even claim the likelihood of people being scammed through this is too high and get your site closed down, idk.

Good luck though if you're going ahead with the idea :).

yeah ima just carry on what robald was talking about if you look at habbo ways it cleary states
You may not give away, sell or trade your Habbo account or seek to sell virtual items from Habbo for cash.

so really thats what your doing and the whole production of this site should stop right now

Oh we thought he wasn't planning on breaking The Habbo Way. No chance of Habbo approving in that case.

yeah so with the site and buying hcs of bobba market he can get banned so he might aswell stop. cause if i was for one i wouldnt pay to win 5 hcs when i could go on HFFM or habbox or any other fansite and enter a comp for free for a throne or something like when HFFM where giving away a throne for the find the code of the vault. so why should we pay for something we can get free?
