Step 4 - Discuss the entry fee and the amount of slots for your raffle.
Step 5 - Await the end of your raffle.

RULES for person raffle requests
-The Item(s) you want to raffle must be above 3 ref according to backpack.tf prices
-The hosts will receive a small tax from your raffle. If the item(s) raffled is valued more than a key then the tax = 1 ref, if below = 1 to 2 rec.
-Safety is guaranteed. You will definetly receive your income. If your raffle has no entries the item(s) you have given to the host will be returned unmodified. If any problems take place, contact the admin immediatly. If any severe damage happens your item will be refunded (however the loss/damage must be backed up with proof).
-You may only take one slot if you want to participate in your own raffle.

Applying for staff

Currently there is 1 Officer slot and 3 Moderator slots open in the group, however this number may grow. To apply for a slot for either moderator or officer you must be able to answer three questions:“Why do you want to be a moderator” “Why are you a good moderator” “What can you do to help the group” and one surprise question. We will then decide in about a week if you have got the slot. We will also be taking into account how much you have helped the group. Such as in group discussions and comments on how to make the community better and the raffles more enjoyable, and of course you must participate in the raffles themselves. Begging for a rank, will not get it for you, plus your chance of getting it will be lowered to a zero.


Prohibited behavior or things that will get you banned

Even though we live in a wonderful and magical world, there are still many people who would want nothing better than to cheat their way through raffles. So in order to stop this there are a set of rules outlining ways in which you will get banned. Permanently. Forever. Eternity. You get the point.

Mind your language. No Cussing, swearing, showing signs of racism and such. If you don’t win don't accuse the winner of cheating/hacking. Simply accept the fact that it is not your destiny to win this one and then try your luck at another raffle. Who knows, maybe you'll win something else.

2. No phishing links. To say it bluntly anyone who's account has been hijacked will be asked to leave the group. This is in order to prevent phishing as much as possible and save those new players from the same fate.

3. Scams. Please no scams. You're already getting items cheap if you win. There's no need for you to scam other players with less experience than you in order for you to make a quick easy profit.

4. Only constructive criticism. We extremely value feedback and evaluation of our group. However any false accusation, insulting the groups because of personal issues with one of the staff members, any kind of dirty language in the comment section is not welcome. Please state what you think, what bothers you, how you think we should solve it. However do not complain about the rules, it will get you nowhere, or somewhere far away from this group.

Now there aren't many rules but that means it's even easier for you to follow them. Swearing, Cussing being racially intolerant - you'll get three strikes then you're out. Whereas as I mentioned before hijacked accounts will be kicked out permanently. If you think you have been banned unfairly either contact HUTS or BlueBlazeFire.
