Raffle Bots in 2026: How They Work and Which Ones Are Worth Using

What Is a Raffle Bot?

A raffle bot is software that automates entry into sneaker raffles using multiple accounts and profiles. Instead of manually entering one raffle at a time with your personal info, a raffle bot submits dozens or hundreds of entries across multiple accounts, each with unique details, in the time it would take you to fill out a single form.

Sneaker raffles exist because retailers got tired of their sites crashing on FCFS drops. Raffles give everyone a theoretical equal chance. But "equal chance" assumes one entry per person. Raffle bots break that assumption by letting you enter as many times as you have accounts and profiles, which fundamentally shifts the math in your favor.

In 2026, most hyped sneaker releases use some form of raffle system. Nike SNKRS draws, END Launches, SNS raffles, Footpatrol draws, Naked signups, and dozens of boutique raffles run every single week. If you are not entering these with volume, you are competing against people who are. That is the reality of the game right now.

How Do Sneaker Raffles Work?

Not all raffles are the same. Understanding the different types helps you pick the right tool and strategy for each one.

In-App Raffles (SNKRS Draws)

Nike SNKRS draws are the biggest raffle in sneakers. Nike opens a 10-minute entry window, you submit your size and payment info, and after the window closes Nike randomly selects winners. Each account gets one entry per draw. The draw is tied to your Nike account, so entering multiple times means running multiple verified Nike accounts.

SNKRS draws are the hardest raffles to bot because Nike actively monitors for bot behavior, tracks account health, and deprioritizes accounts that look automated. But they are also the most rewarding because Nike releases have the highest resale margins and the most consistent demand.

Online Retailer Raffles

Stores like END Clothing, SNS (Sneakersnstuff), Naked Copenhagen, Footpatrol, and Slam Jam run web-based raffles for hyped releases. You fill out a form with your name, email, shipping address, size, and sometimes payment info. Winners are selected randomly and notified by email.

These raffles are generally easier to bot than SNKRS because the anti-bot measures are less sophisticated. Most use basic form submissions that raffle bots can automate quickly. The main challenge is creating enough unique email addresses and slightly different profiles to avoid detection.

In-Store Raffles

Some boutiques run in-store sign-up raffles where you physically go to the store or scan a QR code nearby to enter. These are harder to bot for obvious reasons, but some tools can automate the QR-code or location-based entry process. In-store raffles are niche and most botters focus their energy on online raffles where volume is easier to achieve.

How Raffle Bots Shift the Odds

The math behind raffle bots is straightforward probability. If a raffle has a 1% chance of winning per entry (common for hyped releases with high demand), your odds with a single manual entry are exactly 1%. Not great.

But probability compounds. If you enter 50 times, your chance of winning at least once is not 50%. It is calculated as 1 minus the probability of losing every single time: 1 - (0.99)^50 = roughly 39.5%. Enter 100 times and your odds jump to about 63%. Enter 200 times and you are at 87%.

Here is how the numbers break down at different entry volumes for a raffle with a 1% per-entry win rate:

• 1 entry: 1% chance of at least one win
• 10 entries: 9.6% chance
• 25 entries: 22.2% chance
• 50 entries: 39.5% chance
• 100 entries: 63.4% chance
• 200 entries: 86.6% chance

This is why raffle bots work. You are not hacking the raffle or exploiting a vulnerability. You are just entering more times than everyone else, and the math takes care of the rest. The people hitting multiple pairs on every raffle are not luckier than you. They are entering 50-200 times while you enter once.

Types of Raffle Bots

Different raffle bots target different platforms. Here are the main categories you need to know.

SNKRS Draw Bots

These bots specialize in entering Nike SNKRS draws on multiple accounts simultaneously. They handle account login, draw entry, size selection, and payment submission across all your Nike accounts. The best SNKRS bots also include account management features like health monitoring, login warming, and proxy rotation.

TSB and Stellar AIO are the two SNKRS-focused bots that consistently perform. TSB is purpose-built for Nike and nothing else. Stellar covers SNKRS plus other raffle sites, giving you more flexibility.

Online Raffle Bots

These bots automate entry into web-based raffles on sites like END, SNS, Naked, Footpatrol, Slam Jam, and other European and US boutiques. They fill out raffle forms, submit entries with jigged profiles, and handle email confirmations where required.

Online raffle bots typically support 10-30 different raffle sites and update their modules when retailers change their form structures. The key differentiator between a good online raffle bot and a bad one is how many sites it actually keeps updated and functional versus how many it claims to support.

In-Store Raffle Bots

These are less common and more niche. They automate entry into location-based or QR-code-based in-store raffles. The market for these is small because in-store raffles are less frequent and harder to scale. Most serious botters do not bother with in-store tools and focus their budget on online raffle volume.

AIO Bots with Raffle Modules

Several All-in-One bots include raffle modules alongside their checkout capabilities. CyberSole has the broadest raffle support among AIO bots, covering SNKRS draws plus several online retailer raffles. This is convenient if you already own an AIO bot for checkout and want raffle capability without buying a separate tool.

The trade-off is that AIO raffle modules are rarely as polished or as frequently updated as dedicated raffle bots. A bot that does everything does nothing perfectly. But for botters who do not want to manage multiple software licenses, AIO raffle modules are a practical compromise.

Best Raffle Bots in 2026

Here are the raffle bots that are actually performing right now, not the ones with the flashiest marketing.

TSB (The Shit Bot) — Best for SNKRS Draws

TSB remains the gold standard for Nike SNKRS draws in 2026. The dev team focuses exclusively on Nike, which means updates drop faster when Nike changes things. Account management is built in, proxy rotation is smooth, and the draw entry automation handles the full flow from login to submission without manual intervention.

Price: Around $300 retail with $60-80 renewal fees every 6 months. Secondary market sits at $200-350.

Best for: Botters who primarily target Nike SNKRS draws and want the most reliable tool for that specific platform.

Stellar AIO — Best for SNKRS + Online Raffles

Stellar AIO covers SNKRS draws plus online raffles on several other platforms. Its Nike module is competitive with TSB, and the additional raffle site coverage gives you entries on drops that TSB cannot touch. Multi-account management is excellent, and proxy configuration is intuitive.

Price: Around $400 retail. Secondary market around $250-400.

Best for: Botters who want to cover SNKRS and online retailer raffles with a single tool.

CyberSole — Broadest Raffle Support

CyberSole supports the widest range of raffle sites among AIO bots. Its raffle modules cover SNKRS, END, SNS, Footpatrol, and several other retailers. Because CyberSole also handles checkout on Shopify, Footsites, and other platforms, it is the most versatile single-bot option for someone who wants both raffle and FCFS capability.

Price: $400-600 retail with ongoing renewal fees. Secondary market fluctuates with demand.

Best for: Botters who want raffle and checkout in one package with the widest site coverage. For a deeper comparison of all AIO bots, check the best sneaker bots in 2026 guide.

Raffle Bot Setup

A raffle bot is only as good as the infrastructure behind it. Here is what you need to set up before you start entering raffles at scale.

Accounts

Every raffle entry needs a unique account on the raffle platform. For SNKRS, that means verified Nike accounts with phone and email confirmation. For END and SNS, you need accounts with verified email addresses. Budget $2-5 per account if buying aged accounts, or invest the time to create and verify them yourself.

Proxies

You need proxies to run multiple accounts without getting them linked by IP. ISP proxies are the best choice for SNKRS. Residential proxies work well for online retailer raffles. Keep your proxy-to-account ratio at 1:2 maximum for SNKRS and 1:3 for online raffles. Read the full sneaker proxies guide for provider recommendations and detailed setup instructions.

Jigged Profiles

Each entry needs a profile with slightly different personal details so the raffle platform does not detect that the same person is entering multiple times. This means varying your name, address, email, and phone number across entries. Most raffle bots have built-in jig tools that automatically generate these variations. The key is making the changes small enough that all entries still deliver to your real address but different enough to look like unique people. Check out the address jigging guide for the full breakdown on how to jig effectively.

How Many Accounts Do You Need for Raffles?

This depends on the raffle type and how aggressive you want to be. Here are the ranges that work in practice:

SNKRS Draws: 20-50 Accounts

Nike SNKRS accounts take effort to create and maintain. Each one needs a verified email, verified phone number, unique payment method, and consistent login activity to stay healthy. The sweet spot for most botters is 20-50 accounts. This gives you meaningful odds on every draw without the account management becoming a full-time job.

Running 20 accounts on a draw with a 5% per-account win rate gives you a 64% chance of at least one hit. Running 50 accounts bumps that to 92%. Beyond 50, the maintenance overhead starts to outweigh the marginal probability gains unless you have a system for managing accounts at scale.

Online Raffles: 10-30 Accounts Per Site

Online raffles on END, SNS, and similar retailers are easier to enter at volume because the account creation and verification requirements are less strict. 10-30 entries per raffle is a realistic range. Some botters push this to 50-100 entries on less-protected raffle sites, but most retailers will void entries if they detect too many from the same person.

Realistic Expectations

More accounts always helps, but there are diminishing returns. Going from 1 to 20 accounts is a massive improvement. Going from 50 to 100 is a smaller marginal gain that comes with significantly more work. Find a number you can maintain consistently and focus on keeping those accounts healthy rather than constantly chasing higher volume.

Raffle Bot vs Checkout Bot

Raffle bots and checkout bots are different tools for different release types. Understanding when to use each one is critical.

Raffle bots are for draw-based and raffle-based releases where the winner is selected randomly from a pool of entries. Speed does not matter. Volume matters. You win by having more entries, not by being faster.

Checkout bots are for FCFS (first-come-first-served) releases where the first person to complete checkout gets the pair. Speed is everything. You win by checking out in milliseconds while everyone else is still clicking add-to-cart.

Most sneaker drops in 2026 use one format or the other. Nike SNKRS mostly uses draws. Shopify stores mostly use FCFS or queue-based systems. European boutiques mostly use raffles. Footsites use a mix of both.

The best setups run both. Use a raffle bot for every draw and online raffle entry. Use a checkout bot like Wrath or Trickle for Shopify FCFS drops. Use an AIO like CyberSole that handles both if you want a single-tool approach. Either way, running only one type of bot means you are leaving money on the table every week.

Are Raffle Bots Worth It?

Honest answer: it depends on how much time you are willing to invest in the setup.

The bot itself is the easy part. TSB costs $300. CyberSole runs $400-600. Those are one-time purchases with manageable renewal fees. The real cost is everything else.

The Hidden Costs

• Account creation time: Setting up 30 Nike accounts with verified emails, phone numbers, and payment methods takes 4-8 hours. Online raffle accounts are faster but still take time at volume.
• Account maintenance: SNKRS accounts need regular login activity, occasional purchases, and monitoring for bans. Budget 1-2 hours per week for account management.
• Proxies: ISP proxies for 30 accounts run $60-120/month. Residential proxies for online raffles add another $25-50/month.
• Verification costs: Phone numbers ($10-20/month), virtual cards ($0-20/month), and email services ($5-10/month) add up.
• Cook group: $30-50/month for raffle calendars, configs, and drop alerts. A good cook group is essentially required for staying on top of which raffles are open and when.

The Returns

A well-maintained raffle setup hitting SNKRS draws and online raffles consistently can generate $300-1,000/month in profit from resale. On months with multiple hyped releases (Travis Scott, Off-White, limited Jordan retros), that number goes up significantly. On quiet months, you might just cover your costs.

Raffle bots are worth it if you treat it like a side hustle that requires consistent effort. They are not worth it if you expect to set it up once and print money forever. The botters who make real money from raffles are the ones who maintain their accounts, enter every raffle, and stay on top of the schedule week after week.

Common Mistakes with Raffle Bots

These are the mistakes I see constantly from botters who are not getting results from their raffle setups.

Using the Same Email Domain

If all 30 of your raffle entries use @gmail.com addresses with obvious patterns ([email protected], [email protected]), raffle platforms will flag and void them. Mix email providers. Use Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and custom domains. Make the emails look like real people, not a numbered list.

Unverified or Low-Health Accounts

Entering a SNKRS draw with accounts that have no phone verification, no purchase history, and no login activity is wasting entries. Nike deprioritizes these accounts in draws. An unverified account is essentially a dead entry that counts toward your effort but not your odds. Verify everything before you start entering.

Shared IP Addresses

Running 20 raffle entries through the same IP address is an immediate red flag. Every platform tracks IP-to-entry ratios. If you are not using proxies with proper rotation, your entries are getting flagged before the draw even happens. One proxy per 2-3 entries is the minimum. For SNKRS, aim for 1:1 or 1:2.

Identical Shipping Information

Submitting the same name and address on every entry defeats the purpose of multiple accounts. Jig your addresses with apartment numbers, unit designations, and name variations. Your mail carrier does not care if you add "Apt 3B" to your address. The raffle platform does.

Not Entering Consistently

Raffle success is cumulative. Entering one draw per month is not going to produce results. Enter every raffle for every release you care about. The more entries you submit over time, the more wins you accumulate. Botters who hit consistently are not getting lucky on individual draws. They are entering everything and letting the math work over hundreds of entries.

Ignoring Raffle Confirmation Steps

Some raffles require email confirmation after entry. If your bot submits the entry but you never confirm the email, the entry does not count. Set up email forwarding or use a tool that handles confirmations automatically. Unconfirmed entries are the most preventable waste in raffle botting.

Raffle botting is not about luck. It is about volume, consistency, and proper setup. Get the infrastructure right, maintain your accounts, and enter everything. The math will do the rest.
