  Hi, I am hoping to build a website for competitions/raffles. I am finding it hard to find a payment provider but having no luck. Can you please advise me if WordPress direct payment method supports this? If not which payment provider does support this?

  Hello there,

  I suggest you read the User Guidelines before building your website at WordPress.com:
  https://wordpress.com/support/user-guidelines/

  Gambling.
  Discussing gambling on your site isn’t a problem. What about operating an online gambling service (including poker)? No dice. Please also be aware that if your site is primarily designed to link to other gambling sites, we consider this spam, and a breach of the user guidelines.

  Hi @suziekelly1!

  The WooCommerce plugin (a free eCommerce plugin for WordPress), paired with the Business plan may be a possibility. Check out this extension for WooCommerce:

  Lottery for WooCommerce

  Does that extension sound like it has some of the features you are needing?
