Every draw on the platform — whether triggered live by an operator or fired automatically when a competition closes — is backed by Verified Random, a free and unbiased randomness service powered by drand. drand is a public randomness beacon run by a global coalition of independent organisations, meaning no single party — including this platform — can predict or manipulate the numbers it produces. This gives both operators and customers a fully auditable, tamper-proof record of every winner drawn.
Autodraws are also connected to Verified Random and can be independently audited externally, giving customers the same level of assurance as a manually operated live draw.

​
Website Live Draws

Live draws are powered by the games at verifiedrandom.com/#games. Rather than visiting Verified Random directly, operators can run draws from inside the platform — once a ticket is drawn it is automatically linked to the competition, making the process seamless and keeping the audit trail in one place. To draw a winner, navigate to any closed competition page on the frontend. The draw controls are located in the bottom-right corner of that page. All draws are logged and can be reviewed at any time from the Draw Log page inside the admin menu.

​
Draw Options

When you click Draw Winners, a popup appears with the following options:
Draws only from tickets that have been sold, so a winner is found immediately without cycling through unsold ticket numbers.
Draws a winning ticket number but deliberately hides the winner’s name on screen. The operator can then look up the winner privately in the backend Draw Log and contact them directly — useful for competitions where you want to call the winner before making a public announcement.
The top-right of the draw popup lets you choose how the winner is revealed: Spinner, Race, or Reels. These animated reveal formats are provided by Verified Random’s game library and add a visual element to live-streamed draws.

​
External Live Draw

For operators who prefer to run a draw entirely outside the platform, the underlying drand network can be used directly. Because drand is operated by independent global organisations, the random number produced is verifiable by anyone and cannot be influenced by the competition operator. This is the same source of randomness that powers the platform’s internal draw tool.

​
Verifying a Draw

Any draw result can be verified after the fact using the tools available on the competition page. All live draws appear in the admin Draw Log, which records every draw result and gives you a permanent, reviewable record of every competition outcome.
