When signed in, you can view your profile at any time to track the Prize Draws that you have entered, how many many entries you currently have on your account, or edit any of your account details. Our Newsletter will keep you up-to-date with Prize Draws that might interest you, and other news. There is an option for you to opt out of this if you do not want to receive it.
All major credit and debit cards are accepted. We offer PayPal, credit card, SEPA account debits as well as bank transfers.
In case you just want to donate without receiving entries, just mark the box „I just want to donate and no entries“ in the check out process and you will not participate in the prize raffle, but still support the charity project.
We provide a 100% secure, robust and reliable payment processing service. In addition to the direct integration of PayPal Express Checkout, we are also collaborating with micropayment as our payment provider.

No. There are several options for users to enter the Prize Draws for free without donating. Users will receive free entries for their registration (10 free entries) or for sharing the experience with friends via Facebook, Twitter or e-mail (50 free entries per friend).
For each of our campaigns you also have the opportunity to receive additional free entries by sending a post card (see "Postal Entry Route" package on each campaign site).A maximum of 10 entries can be made per postcard or envelope received. There is no limit to the number of entries that may be made this way (if you send us five postcards, you will get 50 free entries to the raffle).
Winners will be notified by e-mail shortly after the campaign closes. They must then accept the prize by the deadline indicated in the e-mail in order to be named the winner.
When you enter a draw you will receive entries which will be displayed in your VIPrize account. The winner will be selected by our Random Number Generator software once all entries for the competition have been completed.
The probability of winning a Prize Draw can differ depending on how many people enter a particular Prize Draw. Each entry is equivalent to one chance of winning, and so the probability of winning a Prize Draw will be one divided by the number of entries sold and distributed for that particular Prize Draw. For example, if there are 100 entries sold and distributed for a particular Prize Draw, each entry has a 1 in 100 chance of winning. If you obtain multiple entries then your chances of winning increase.
This depends on the experience, and each campaign page will specify this. Usually there is just one winner, but in some cases there are multiple winners. The winner(s) will usually be allowed to bring at least one guest. The details and many other topics are explained clearly on the respective campaign page in the official rules.
This depends on the experience. Please check the campaign page of the specific Prize Draw you are interested in.
In order to cover some of our operating costs and to further develop our platform, VIPrize takes a standard fee of 20% of the net proceeds for each Prize Draw (e.g. after transaction costs have been deducted). The chosen Charity will receive 80% of the net proceeds.
