Overview
The Tap50:50 proprietary raffle system is basically made up of four components: the Raffle Management Application, the Print Manager Application for jurisdictions where a random number generator is not allowed, the Display Application and the Handheld Selling Units or RSU's as GLI-31 refers to them. This document deals with the Raffle Manager Application.
Raffle Management Application
The raffle management software was built on Oracle Application Express (Oracle APEX) which is Oracle’s rapid web development solution for the Oracle database. APEX combines the qualities of a personal database, productivity, ease of use, and flexibility with the qualities of an enterprise database, security, integrity, scalability, availability and built for the web.
This application allows charities to setup, manage, and monitor their raffles.

There are different levels of functionality depending on security settings and what type of user you are. There are players for our online raffle, charities, territory managers and admin users. For our purposes here you will be a charity/raffle manager.

Below is the charity dashboard. Your username is in the top right corner along with the logout function. There are help boxes on many of the screens to prompt you on what your options or even warn you about possible issues with the current screen.

There is a summary of the number of raffles and total sales in the ‘To Date’ box. There is a reminder of upcoming events, events that need to be approved by an admin person and events that need attendance information added.

If the charity is running an online raffle at the bottom of this screen there will be online integration options.. They allow the user to choose the color of the theme, add a cover picture image, and setup a stripe account for collecting online funds. Setting up the stripe account leaves the application and the user enters the stripe account setup process.
