UK prize draw compliance

UK prize draw compliance: verifiably random winner selection

ScirDom helps UK prize draw promoters evidence that winners were selected by a verifiably random, auditable computer process.

Each draw uses tested randomness, a locked participant list, a published selection algorithm, a signed certificate, and a complete evidence pack.

SCIRDOM EVIDENCE LAYER

Tested randomness before the draw
Participant register locked before execution
Published winner-selection algorithm
Signed certificate and evidence pack
Verification material for independent checking

ANSWER

Do UK prize draws need an independent person?

Not always. CAP Code rule 8.24 requires prizes to be awarded by chance and, unless winners are selected by a computer process that produces verifiably random results, by or under the supervision of an independent person. ScirDom is designed for the computer-process route.

ANSWER

What does ScirDom prove?

ScirDom supports technical verification of draw execution: the locked list, entropy reference, published algorithm, certificate, manifest, and evidence pack. ScirDom does not make a promotion lawful or replace legal, advertising, or gambling-law checks.

ANSWER

What evidence should a promoter keep?

Useful records include the promotion rules, final participant list, locked execution-order register, winner-selection method, randomness source, certificate, signed manifest, and replay material showing how the result was produced.

The compliance problem

A prize draw result is not credible merely because the organiser says it was random. Promoters need a practical evidence trail that shows when entries were fixed, what selection method was used, what randomness drove the draw, and what result was produced.

ScirDom addresses the technical draw-execution layer. It gives operators structured records that can be reviewed by participants, auditors, advisers, or regulators where the operator chooses to share them.

What ScirDom provides

Pre-tested entropy blocks with published validation material.
Participant registers locked before execution.
A published algorithm using rejection sampling to avoid conversion bias.
Signed certificates and evidence packs for completed draws.
Verification materials that support independent replay.

What remains the client's responsibility

The client remains responsible for promotion legality, significant conditions, eligibility rules, paid and free route equality where relevant, advertising claims, winner notification, prize fulfilment, complaints, and regulatory correspondence.
