The Fair Draw Register
Before you buy a ticket, check the draw can’t be fixed.
For the online prize competition websites you enter — the car draws, the £1,000 cash giveaways, the raffles drawn live on Facebook.
Registered operators run every draw through a sealed, publicly checkable process — so you don’t have to take anyone’s word for it. Not theirs. Not even ours.
CHECK AN OPERATOR
Every registered operator, their certified draws, and their contact details — public and free.

You’ve seen it. The Facebook Live. The spinning wheel. The mate’s name that comes up.
Most UK prize competitions draw their winners live on camera using an online random number generator — usually Google’s. And here’s the uncomfortable truth: even when the operator is completely honest, that proves nothing.
Google’s number generator is genuinely random — that’s not the problem. The problem is what you can’tsee. You can’t see whether the wheel was spun off-camera first, until a “good” number came up. You can’t see whether the number range matched the tickets actually sold. You can’t see the ticket list at all — whether your ticket was in it, whether names were added after entries closed, or whether the winning number was matched to the right person. A live video proves someone pressed a button. It cannot prove the draw was fair. You just have to take their word for it— and that’s exactly why the comment sections fill up with “rigged” every Friday night.
A certified draw doesn’t ask for your trust
1
The ticket list is locked — in public
The moment entries close, the full list is published and sealed onto a worldwide public record. Nobody — not the operator, not us — can add, remove or swap a ticket afterwards without it showing. You can look up your own tickets in the sealed list.
2
The winning number comes from nobody
No wheel, no button, no spinner. The number is built from two ingredients: a secret one locked in before the draw, and a public one created by a worldwide network after it. Nobody ever holds both in time to cheat — not the operator, not a computer whizz, not us.
3
You can redo the maths yourself
The winner comes from one simple, published sum. Every certificate shows the full working, line by line, with links to the public records behind it. Check it on a calculator if you like. Same numbers, same winner — for everyone, every time.
Every operator below has been individually vetted as a real, traceable business and commits to running every paid draw through the certified process. Click through to their certified draws, or contact them directly.
The first operators are being onboarded now — check back shortly.
The register updates automatically as operators are approved and draws certify.
The badge guarantees
The ticket list was sealed in public before the draw. The winning number came from a source nobody controls. The maths is published and checkable by anyone. The operator is a real, traceable business.
The badge doesn’t cover
Prize quality, delivery times, or customer service — those remain between you and the operator, and your normal consumer rights apply. We certify the draw; we don’t run the competition. We’d rather tell you the limits than oversell the badge.
Straight answers
Something not adding up?
If a certified draw doesn’t verify, or a registered operator isn’t playing by the rules, tell us. Every report is investigated, and registration can be revoked — publicly.
