These membership can be purchased online on our secure website.
The MCR Club covers ALL the costs associated with the Luxury New York Escape including (drumroll please): prize procurement, permit application, marketing & advertising, management & winner notification, customer service, all the marketing and advertising costs surrounding the promotion of the campaign! Phew! All of our campaigns & competitions are run in-house meaning charities don’t pay for a thing.

Absolutely! We give you ultimate flexibility to jump on as many raffles as you like. Each raffle has a different draw-date & pool of prizes, so you can try your luck with all.
No, we charge $0 listing fees to the charities (so more money goes towards the things that count). If after we spend all the effort in putting together the best giveaway experience, we only receive free entries and do not sell a single charity raffle ticket on our website, it will be a pure cost to MCR to fund the experience, so that the charities are not carrying any risks or costs at all. So we are counting on your positive experience with us and trust that if we do a good enough job, you will support the causes on our MCR site and help fund the important work they do for our communities.
If you only enter the free Trade Promotion giveaway, there’ll be no money going to the charity- it’ll be a pure cost to MCR as we fund the entire experience.
Once you’ve grabbed a charity raffle-ticket bundle on the MCR site, we’ll charge a moderate fee as a percentage of the sale to the charity. This fee keeps MCR up & running & allows us to hire the best talent to curate & fund our free experience giveaways, ultimately encouraging more participants & greater social impact.
Playing in charity raffles is a fun & interactive way to support the causes you care about. But we get it – it is not for every one and that not everyone’s in favour of this model (even though we charge no listing fee, no upfront marketing and advertising costs to the charity).
If you’d like to support another way, you can make a donation instead! At the end of the day, we want to encourage you to do good & if you prefer to make a donation, we’ll pass on 100% of its value to the charity with a donation receipt issued by the charity. Please note banking fees may apply which is charged directly by the bank. You can call us on 1300 855 226 to make a donation and we’ll orgainse a receipt for your specified charity.

In Australia, raffles and lotteries fall under gambling regulations. This means you must be over the age of 18 to legally participate.

Ultimately, it’s up to the individual charity to decide where they’re going to allocate the funds raised & those reports can be accessed here.
