How Our Raffle System Works
True Randomization
Our algorithm uses cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generation (CSPRNG) to ensure fair results. The system weights entries according to your specifications and prevents any predictable patterns in selection.
Entry Management
Handle complex entry scenarios with options for multiple entries per participant, custom weighted entries, or special eligibility rules. The system normalizes all entries before the random draw to maintain fairness.
Verification & Audit
Each drawing generates a verification code that can be used to confirm the results later. For maximum transparency, you can share both participant lists and selection parameters with stakeholders.
Pro Tip: For high-stakes drawings, consider screen recording the selection process or having independent witnesses observe the raffle for added credibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
How random is your selection process?
Our system uses browser-based cryptographic randomization that meets statistical standards for fairness. The algorithm is tested against common bias patterns and produces evenly distributed results across multiple trials.
Can I weight entries differently?
Yes! Use the custom entries option to specify different weights (e.g., 5 entries for premium members vs. 1 for regular participants). The system automatically normalizes these during selection.
What happens if there's a tie?
Our system includes tie-breaking logic that performs additional randomization if two participants have identical selection scores. This ensures there's always a clear winner even in edge cases.
Can I save and verify results later?
Absolutely. Each drawing generates a unique verification code. Combine this with your original participant list and settings to confirm the results at any future date.
Is there a limit to participants?
The tool can handle up to 100,000 entries in modern browsers. For larger raffles, consider using our dedicated enterprise solution with server-side processing.
