Which leaves your club more depends on the prize fund you choose. Every figure on this page is sourced from Pitchero's own published rates.

Where your £10 actually goes.
On Pitchero Fundraising Club Lottery (operated by The Fundraising Club CIC), a £10 monthly ticket is split 60/40 — your club keeps £6, the lottery operator keeps £4 to cover prizes and admin. On PFW, a £10 ticket leaves ~£8.15 after our 15% standard fee and Stripe processing — before prizes, which you set and control (Pitchero's 40% includes their prize costs). So the comparison depends on your prize fund: with £2 of prizes per £10 ticket, your club keeps about £6.15; split 50/50 with the winner, about £4.08. Sourced from The Fundraising Club CIC's own published FAQ (May 2026).
Set your own prize fund
Pitchero's lottery operator retains 40% of every ticket to cover prizes and admin. On PFW our 15% standard fee comes off the top and you decide how much of the rest goes to prizes.
Live in 10 minutes, not 5 days
The Fundraising Club CIC's own FAQ states 'most clubs can be live within 5 days.' PFW: under 10 minutes for self-serve, or our team builds it with you.
Own your supporter list and brand
Pitchero is an integrated club lottery — your supporters become Fundraising Club members. PFW gives you full control: your branding on every draw page, your supporter list exportable any time, your campaigns customisable.
Pitchero's 40% includes prizes. On PFW, you choose the prize fund.
Work it out for your club: take our 15% standard fee and card processing at cost (1.5% + 20p) off ticket sales, then the prizes you plan to offer. If your prizes come to less than about 21% of ticket sales, your club ends up with more than Pitchero's 60%; a full 50/50 split with the winner leaves it about 41%. Based on The Fundraising Club CIC's published 60/40 split (May 2026).
See your exact numbers — CalculatorWhen Pitchero is the right choice
If you specifically want a fully-managed lottery where the operator handles every detail and you don't want to think about the campaign, Pitchero's Fundraising Club Lottery integration is purpose-built for that hands-off model — and if you're already on a Pitchero website plan, the integration is convenient. If you want to set your own prize fund and keep control of your branding and supporter list, that's where PFW wins.
