Raffle in the public chat
The Raffle is a recurring event that takes place in the Global Chat.
During a raffle, players have a chance to win Coins and occasionally other rewards such as Powers or Artifacts. Some raffles award only coins.
A new raffle begins at a random time between 10 minutes and 2 hours after the previous raffle ends.
Entering a Raffle
When a raffle begins, RaffleBot announces it in Global Chat with a message similar to:
100 coins and a raffle starting! Say !raffle in the next 60 seconds to enter the raffle. (you must have chatted in the last hour)
To enter, type:
!raffle
within 60 seconds of the announcement.
Eligibility
To enter a raffle, you must have sent at least one chat message within the previous hour.
If your entry is accepted, RaffleBot will respond with:
@PlayerName: OK, you're in the raffle! Winner will be announced in X seconds.
If you are not eligible, RaffleBot will respond with:
@PlayerName: You cannot enter since you did not chat in the last hour.
Selecting a Winner
When the 60-second entry period ends, one entrant is selected at random.
The winner is announced in Global Chat with a message similar to:
RAFFLE OVER: Congratulations to PlayerName for winning 100 coins! Stay tuned for the next raffle!
No Entrants
If nobody successfully enters the raffle, the reward is carried forward to the next raffle.
In this case, RaffleBot announces:
RAFFLE OVER: Nobody entered the raffle! These coins will be added to the next one. Be ready for it!
Raffle Variants
Most raffles are called a Raffle, but occasionally RaffleBot uses alternative names:
- Raffle — approximately 95%
- Waffle — approximately 4%
- Wafaffle — approximately 1%
These names affect only the announcement text and have no effect on the rewards or odds of winning.
Alternative Ending Messages
Most raffles end with:
Stay tuned for the next raffle!
However, there is a small chance that RaffleBot instead ends with:
You are all ruthless!
War.app Facts
After most raffles, RaffleBot posts a random War.app Fact.
These facts contain trivia about the game's history, development, features, and community.
Examples include:
- The game was originally invite-only during its first year.
- Quickmatch was introduced in 2017.
- The Global Chat room was added in 2019.
- Warzone was renamed to War.app in 2026.
- The raffles are not, in fact, rigged.
New facts may be added over time.
Strategy
Since only players who have chatted within the last hour may enter a raffle, players who wish to participate should remain active in Global Chat.
Entering a raffle is free, and all eligible entrants have an equal chance of being selected.
