How does this prove our prize draw wasn't rigged?

Before the draw runs, it is committed to a specific upcoming round of the public drand randomness beacon. That round's random value is produced and signed by the League of Entropy and does not exist yet at commit time, so there is no winning number to cherry-pick. Because your entries are sealed before the value is known, nobody — not you, not us — can swap entries or re-run the draw until a preferred winner appears.

Can an entrant actually check the result themselves?

Yes. Every draw publishes a shareable verification code. An entrant pastes it into the Check page and reproduces the exact winners, or follows the open, documented method independently. They do not have to trust your word or ours — the maths lands in the same place every time.

Will this hold up to ASA or Gambling Commission scrutiny?

We're a tool, not your compliance department, so always follow your own legal advice. That said, regulators and adjudicators look for draws that are genuinely random and demonstrably not manipulated. A draw bound to independent, published, reproducible randomness gives you concrete, third-party evidence to point to — far stronger than "we used a random number generator on our laptop".

How many entries can a single draw handle, and how fast is it?

A draw can include up to 10 million entries and resolves instantly when the committed drand round publishes — fast enough to draw live on stream the moment your competition closes.

Does it cost anything, and do we need an account?

No. Running a draw and publishing its verification code is free and requires no account. You can start a draw, reveal the winner, and share the proof in one sitting.

For competition companies

Provably-fair prize draws your entrants can verify

Run competition winner draws nobody can dispute. Verified Draws commits each draw to a public randomness beacon before it happens, then hands every entrant a code to check the result for themselves — so accusations of rigging stop, and trust turns into ticket sales.

Run a draw Check a code

The accusation that quietly kills competitions

Every prize-draw operator knows the comment: “this is rigged, your mate always wins.” It only takes a few before doubt spreads, refunds start, and the next competition stalls before it sells out. The painful part is that an honest draw and a rigged one look identical from the outside — a name appears on a screen and you ask everyone to take it on faith.

Distrust by default

Entrants can't see how the winner was chosen, so the suspicious ones assume the worst — and say so publicly.

Disputes you can't win

With no proof, every accusation is your word against theirs. You can't disprove rigging you didn't do.

Sales bleed out

Reputation is the whole business. A handful of "it's fixed" posts under a draw chills ticket sales for the next one.

Verified Draws vs the usual ways to draw a winner

The difference isn't the randomness — it's whether anyone other than you can prove the draw was fair, before and after it ran.

How a verifiable draw works

Four steps, and the order is the whole point: the entries are sealed and the moment is chosen before any winning randomness exists.

1
Entries are sealed
Upload your ticket numbers or set a number range. Your entries are locked in and fingerprinted before any randomness is chosen — they cannot be quietly edited afterward.
2
A future drand round is committed
The draw points to a specific upcoming round of the drand public randomness beacon, run by the League of Entropy. That round's value does not exist yet and cannot be predicted.
3
The winner is calculated
When the committed round is published, its signed random value is combined with your sealed entries and the draw's code to deterministically select the winners.
4
A verification code is published
Each draw gets a public, shareable verification code. Entrants paste it into the Check page — or follow the open method themselves — and reproduce the exact same result.

Why operators run their draws here

A draw nobody can dispute is a sales asset

When an angry entrant accuses you of rigging, you don't argue — you hand them a code they can verify themselves. Disputes end in seconds instead of spilling across your comments and threatening the next sell-out.

Trust converts into ticket sales

Buyers spend more freely on competitions they believe are fair. "Independently verifiable" on your draw is a conversion line, not just a compliance checkbox.

Free, with no account to set up

There's no sign-up wall and no fee per draw. Run a winner draw the moment your competition closes and publish the proof immediately.

Fits how you already run draws

Works for raffles — upload your sold ticket numbers — and for straight number picks across a range. Same verifiable mechanism either way.

Drawing on stream? The live reveal shows the winner and its verification code on camera at the same moment — your audience watches the proof land, not just the name.
