Raffles that are provably fair
Every draw generates cryptographic proof that anyone can verify. No trust required—the math proves it’s fair.
Proof you can share. Results anyone can check.

Most raffles can’t prove they’re fair
You’re just supposed to trust the organizer. That’s not good enough.
Traditional raffles
- Organizer could pick whoever they want
- No way to verify the selection was random
- "Trust me" is the only guarantee
- Participants have to take your word for it
Rafflebase
- Cryptographic proof of random selection
- Anyone can verify the results independently
- Even we can’t manipulate the outcome
- Mathematical proof, not promises
How verification works
We use the same cryptographic techniques trusted by banks and casinos.
-
1
Secret seed committed
A random server seed is generated at creation and its SHA-256 hash is published before entries open.
-
2
Entries recorded
All participants are added. The entry list is locked and timestamped.
-
3
Winner calculated
The revealed seed and the entrant list derive a draw seed, which maps to a winning slot.
-
4
Anyone can verify
All inputs are revealed. Anyone can recalculate and confirm the result.
Why SHA-256?
A commitment scheme needs a function nobody can work backwards from and nobody can find two inputs for. SHA-256 is the standard choice: publishing the hash of a seed pins that seed down without revealing it, so when the seed is published later, everyone can confirm it is the one that was committed to and not a substitute picked afterwards.
When verification matters most
High-stakes situations where trust is critical.
-
High-value prizes
When you’re giving away something valuable, people need to know it’s legit.
-
Public figures & influencers
Protect your reputation. Prove to your audience the giveaway was fair.
-
Regulated industries
Meet compliance requirements with auditable, verifiable selection processes.
-
Nonprofits & charities
Maintain donor trust. Show your fundraising raffles are conducted fairly.
-
Online communities
Discord servers, forums, and groups. End the “that’s rigged” accusations.
-
Corporate events
Company raffles and employee giveaways. Show everyone the selection was unbiased.
Verification anyone can understand
We don’t just provide the proof—we make it easy to check. Every raffle result page shows exactly how the winner was selected, with all the inputs needed to verify it yourself.
