1. What exactly are Raffles?
A means of raising currency by selling numbered spots, one or more of which are subsequently drawn at random, the owner or owners’ of the spots winning a prize.

2. How will you choose a raffle winner?
We'll be using http://www.random.org/ for fairness.

3. Can I choose my slots?
No, We tend to not allow anyone to ask for certain slots. It just makes raffles much more complicated for the people running the raffle.

4. Should I report bots?
Yes, report and block all hijacked accounts and bots. If your's or a friend of your's account is hijacked, make sure to contact Valve's customer support and file a report. Hopefully Valve will get the account back to it's rightful owner.

5. How do I become a Moderator/Officer?

6. How do I create a raffle?
Click here to see the thread for suggesting your raffle. A Moderator or Officer will get back to you as soon as possible if they like your requested item(s). Instructions for creating a raffle are included on the page.

7. Why can't I see the items in the Mod/Admins backpack?
This group holds community raffles, where we raffle items for members. If you don't see the item in the Moderator or Admin’s inventory, then it’s likely that it’s in the backpack of the person that wants it raffled. Most people feel uncomfortable letting staff hold onto their items, so we put in the post whose items it is, if that’s the case.

8. How do I donate, and what are the benefits?
Donations really help us out, and if you decide to donate you can head over to our Donations Page. It will list the benefits and process of donation.

9. Are raffle entries refundable?
In most scenarios, the answer will be no. Although this question is case by case. Most of the time, rafflers will put a disclaimer claiming that raffles aren't refundable. HTF2R is not responsible for any items taken for Raffle entries. All refunds must be discussed with the person who is raffling the item.


Many people try to impersonate an admin of the group to intercept entry fees. To make sure you're trading with an admin or moderator, make sure that they have the Gold or Silver star next to their name.
Using SteamRep [steamrep.com] is an effective way to make sure you're not trading with a scammer.
