Turns out raffles aint allowed
Added 2019-03-24 10:27:40 +0000 UTCHad no idea when i started this patreon that they aint allowed, i didnt spot it when i read the ToS.
For now i guess i'll treat it as a reward for people suppoorting me this first month and as a reward for reaching 100+$ a month, as appearently stuff like that may be allowed under such circumstances, however i cant do any more of them except for special occassions, which frankly, sucks.
Im not gonna change the price of the tiers but may add something to replace the raffle at the 5$ and 15$ tiers.
Im not sure what it is yet but hopefully i'll figure it out soon. :C

it was suprising to me too since my page has been under review twice already (once before launching the page and once again when i made my first money withdrawal to make sure there wasnt any trickery or fraud goin on) and both times my page was approved. Still, it have now noticed that it does indeed state that raffles are against the ToS. I might replace it with something along the lines you suggested but its still too early to say, before next weekend tho i should have it figured out.

In any case, if you do want to replace it with something to replace it, you could have supporters submit ideas and then pick 3 instead of picking 3 people and then doing their ideas, that way you can call it a "suggestion box" instead of a raffle. You could even make it something people vote on if you wanted to do it that way.
