Roundsey is a female Arcane Spiral Dragon in Flight Rising who runs a stand at the Trading Post. She and her stand, Roundsey's Raffle Roulette, were added to the site on August 22nd, 2018.[1]
Roundsey allows players to purchase weekly raffle tickets for a chance to obtain staff-designed first generation dragons, rare items, and even sometimes retired items. Kickstarter items have a possibility of showing up in the weekly prize pool, but only if the items have been donated to the raffle by staff and their family and friends.[2] This makes it so Kickstarter items are not being newly generated, just redistributed.
There are no limits to how many tickets one player can buy and one ticket can be bought for 500 treasure. Though tickets are unlimited, Roundsey's prizes themselves are finite in number. This allows retired items to be offered as prizes without decreasing the rarity or value of the items.[3] Additionally a player can only win one prize each week. A single user can not win all the prizes she offers even if they buy a large amount of tickets. More tickets will, however, give a player better chances to win higher valued items as those are the ones that are pulled first.
Exclusions[]
Though the items Roundsey offers will sometimes include retired items, Imperial breed change scrolls will never be part of the prize pool. Likewise, she will never offer Imperial Dragons as a prize either.[4] The reason for this is that first and even second or third generation Imperials are worth a lot and generating new ones will greatly influence the dragon population and breeding market. The difference between this and other Kickstarter items as a prize is that first generation Imperials can keep making more low generation Imperials indefinitely whereas the Kickstarter items are singular and more will not be brought into existence.

Trivia[]
- Roundsey's colors seem to be Pistachio primary and Bubblegum secondary. Her genes are Skink and Stripes.
- Roundsey's tail features blue coloration that is not present on player dragons with Pistachio Skink. The stripes on her thigh are also not present in Skink's design in any color.
- Roundsey's horns are pink instead of green, implying that she has a pink range Glimmer tertiary. However, her underbelly has the neck gradient that is visible on Skink gened dragons albeit in the wrong color for Pistachio as it fades into a pale pink/white rather than green. Pearl Glimmer is the closest match to Roundey's depiction, giving the dragon a pale pink underbelly and horns.
- The 4th raffle was the first raffle to have a Kickstarter prize and the first raffle to not have a dragon prize.
- The 5th raffle was the first raffle to have more than one dragon prize.
- The 84th raffle was the first raffle to have all four prizes be dragons.
- The Thresher Flatfins were the first prize to be repeated. It was first offered as a prize during the 14th raffle and again during the 23rd raffle.[5]
