FAIRNESS & DRAW SYSTEM

Documented. Auditable. Verifiable.

Every competition is designed around a transparent draw record: deterministic selection, documented verification, and a result that can be reviewed after completion.

01 Random-seed draw The winning entry is selected by a deterministic algorithm from a randomly generated, recorded seed. WantThat.watch does not manually choose the result.
02 Recorded draw process Draw data is recorded so the result can be reviewed and matched against the published competition record.
03 External oversight For qualifying competitions, the process is checked with external oversight and supporting documentation.
04 Published certificate Completed competitions receive a draw record or certificate confirming the selected entry and result details.
DRAW TECHNOLOGY

Verifiable Draw Technology

Winners on wantthat.watch are selected by our own cryptographically secure draw system. Each eligible entry receives a unique Entry ID. After the competition closes, a recorded cryptographic seed and a deterministic algorithm derive the winner from the verified eligible entries, and the result is stored in a draw audit record.

Because the draw is deterministic and its inputs are recorded, the result is clear, auditable, and can be recomputed by participants.

DRAW RECORD

How a draw is performed

1. Entries close on the published closing date. Late entries are not eligible.

2. The pool of eligible correct entries is exported — that is, entries that answered the skill question correctly and were received in time.

3. A cryptographic seed is generated and recorded.

4. A deterministic algorithm derives the winning Entry ID from the seed and the sorted pool.

5. The winning Entry ID is matched back to its registered account and the winner is contacted using the contact details on file.

6. The full audit record — seed, sorted entry pool, winner index, pool size, total entries, winner Entry ID — is retained and protected by an audit hash.

Why this is a skill-based prize competition

To enter the draw at all, you must answer the competition's skill question correctly. Random or unanswered submissions are not eligible. The skill requirement is what defines each WantThat.watch promotion as a prize competition (skill-based) rather than a game of chance — a legal distinction set out in the binding competition rules and terms.
