Trust but verify

Fairness & verification

How you can be sure the draws are fair, and how to check for yourself.

Why you can trust it

Nobody picks the winner. Not the Freebie team, not anyone else. A tamper-proof random number generator does it, and the result is publicly verifiable.

That means anyone in the world can check that the winning number was generated fairly and wasn't manipulated.

How to verify a draw

  1. 1

    Find the draw result

    Each draw produces a public record with the random number used, the total chances in the pool, and the winning chance number.

  2. 2

    Check the random number

    The random number comes with a mathematical proof that it was generated correctly. You can verify this proof yourself. The math doesn't lie.

  3. 3

    Confirm the winner

    The random number maps to a specific chance in the pool. You can trace it back to confirm the right person won.

Can the Freebie team rig it?

No. The Freebie team can only start a draw. They can't influence which chance is selected. The random number is generated by an independent system, and the proof is publicly verifiable.

Even if someone tried to tamper with the process, the mathematical proof would fail verification, and everyone would know.

Is the code public?

Yes. Everything is open source. You can inspect the code yourself:

The randomness system, the cryptographic proofs, the specific technologies used. All of that is in the Technical appendix.
