The new site has refreshed branding and an improved user experience, including all-new animations so POAP collectors can watch with bated breath as each number is drawn and tickets are gradually eliminated:

Setting up your first raffle takes only a few simple steps. Check out the beta user guide for more info, and don't hesitate to leave some feedback after you try it out!
