Why organisers use this
A quick draw now, a proper saved sweepstake later if the group behaves like every other group.
Quick generator
One-off draw. Fast. Free. Screenshotable.
Full playdrawr
Saved links, who's paid, and a leaderboard that updates itself.
Paste the participant names line by line, choose the draw mode, and hit the button. You can run a standard one-team-per-person draw or spread all 48 teams across a smaller group.
The results are laid out by World Cup group first, so you can scan them quickly, screenshot them cleanly, and avoid the usual wall of spreadsheet text.
Because nobody misses the spreadsheet. A digital draw is quicker, tidier, easier to share, and far less likely to turn into a debate about whether somebody was skipped.
It also gives you a cleaner route into the full version when the group inevitably asks for a proper link, payment tracking, or a leaderboard that updates itself.
Keep the rules simple. Set the entry fee up front, explain how the prize pot will be paid out, and make sure the draw happens once for everyone to see. No swaps after the fact. No โjust one exceptionโ for Dave.
For a standard format, each participant gets one randomly drawn team. The winning team at the end of the tournament wins the sweepstake unless your group agrees a broader scoring system.

Yes. Paste the names, hit the button, and draw teams for free. If you want the saved version with dashboard links, payment tracking and an automatic leaderboard, that is the upgrade path.
No. The quick generator needs no login at all. If you save it into playdrawr, participants still do not need to log in to follow the public view.
Yes. It is built for offices, pubs, clubs, family groups and the usual WhatsApp chaos that appears every tournament.
The quick generator still works by reusing teams once you go past 48 names. For a saved live playdrawr sweepstake, keep it to 48 or fewer so every team stays uniquely assigned.
Yes. Once you save the draw properly, playdrawr tracks tournament results and updates the leaderboard for you.
playdrawr is a sweepstake tool, not a gambling service. Keep your rules clear, use an agreed entry fee, and pay out the prize pot exactly as promised.
