Love it - the only reason I haven't rated it higher is because of the lack of documentation available, particularly in the area of using the micro integrations.
I can see with good documentation that this component would be a far more powerful tool.
I have run previous versions very successfully on Joomla 1.0 sites and honestly could not fault it - the integration with Paypal is seamless, it's just the latest release and the lack of documentation that takes some time to get your head around.
I am not overly sure about the paid support model either - should one really have to pay X euros to find out how the raffle system works? Certainly I could pay the developer to set it all up - but then what have I learned? - and if in the future something goes wrong I have to pay a subscription and get them to fix the issues - particularly when that subscription is about 1/2 our gross yearly membership fees. But not going to get into a big ramble about that side of things.
But overall - as I said - great component, does what it says on the box and works on the basic level straight out of the box with very little setup, hope to see it progress further as it is an important tool for people like ourselves who run small associations.

Owner's reply
Yeah, as I've said in the current public discussions - direct to access online documentation is a big thing for the next release.
As for the raffle system - that was a client job that is pretty much completely undocumented - even I have trouble getting my head back into it. But then I don't get raffles themselves.
Yet finally - 2 stars for a component you say you "love"? Thats a bit tough!
