ABOS Verified · Competition Platform

Run competitions people can actually verify.

We design, build, host and certify your prize-competition site on a provably-fair engine. Every winner is drawn with public randomness and can be re-checked by anyone — so your players don't have to trust you, they can prove you. Live in weeks, carrying the ABOS Verified seal.

Provably Fair ABOS Verified
Why it matters

The industry runs on “just trust us”. That era is ending.

Players have watched too many draws they couldn't see, on sites that could quietly move a ticket, edit a prize or pick a friend. One rumour burns a brand overnight — and honest operators have had no way to prove they're straight. We fix that at the engineering level.

The old way

“Trust us — the draw was fair.”

  • Winner picked behind closed doors — no one can check.
  • Tickets, prizes and entries can be changed after the fact.
  • One accusation and the whole brand is under suspicion.
  • Honest operators look exactly the same as the crooked ones.
The ABOS way

“Don't trust us — verify us.”

  • The winner is fixed by public randomness born after entries close.
  • Prizes and instant-wins are sealed before a single ticket sells.
  • Anyone can re-run the maths in their own browser, no login.
  • A public register flags a tamper to the whole world, instantly.

How the proof works

Sealed before sales. Drawn by randomness nobody controls.

The clever part is the order of events — and it's simple enough to say on a poster.

01 — SEAL

Lock it in public

Before ticket one, we publish a cryptographic fingerprint of the sealed prize map. It can't be changed later without everyone seeing.

02 — SELL

Entries build

Tickets sell. The full, timestamped entry list is on show — nothing can be quietly added or removed.

03 — DRAW

Borrow public chance

At draw time the winner is derived from drand — a global public randomness beacon that literally does not exist until after entries close.

04 — VERIFY

Anyone can check

We reveal the seal. Any player re-computes the exact same winner in their browser — no account, no trust required.

The honest bit: the sealed secret is not the winning ticket — it can't be, because the deciding randomness isn't born until after entries close. All that's locked early are your handcuffs. That's the sentence that kills the “you knew the winner all along” objection before it starts.

Same proof, two depths — pick yours
The glass safe

Before a single ticket goes on sale, the draw's secret is locked in a glass safe and the safe's fingerprint is published for anyone to screenshot. From that second, nothing inside can change without the fingerprint breaking — in public.

A coin-toss from the future

The winner isn't picked by us, the site owner, or a button somebody presses. It comes from a public coin-toss service used worldwide — and the toss the draw uses doesn't exist yet while tickets are selling. Nobody can peek at a number that hasn't been created.

Check it yourself

After the draw, the safe is opened in public. Your own phone can re-run the entire draw and land on the same winner. If even one ticket had been moved, the numbers wouldn't line up — and everyone would see it.

Why it matters

The draw date can't quietly move. The prize map can't be shuffled. A mate can't be picked. The operator couldn't fix the draw even if they wanted to — and that sentence is worth more than any "trust us" badge in the industry.

No account, no maths degree, no trust required — the proof page is public on every single draw.
Commit–reveal

At publish, the engine generates a secret seed and publishes its SHA-256 commitment; instant-win maps are committed as a salted hash of the canonical map. Any post-publish change to the draw or the prize map breaks the published digests.

Public randomness

The winning entry is a deterministic function of the sealed seed, the final entry list's hash, and a pre-nominated future round of the drand beacon (League of Entropy) — BLS threshold-signed, publicly verifiable, and generated only after entries close. Unpredictable to us, the operator, and everyone else.

Bias-free selection

Winner derivation is uniform over the sorted entry list with rejection sampling — no modulo bias, no re-rolls, no operator discretion anywhere in the path. Free postal entries sit in the same list with identical odds.

Client-side verification

The public verify page recomputes everything in the visitor's browser via WebCrypto: commitment vs revealed seed, instant-map re-derivation, entry-list hash, and the beacon signature fetched directly from independent drand endpoints. Our servers are not part of the trust chain.

What stays private: the seed, until reveal — nothing else. Every drawn competition permanently carries the material needed to re-verify it, independent of ABOS.
The platform

A complete competition business, out of the box.

Not a plugin bolted onto a shop. A purpose-built platform — the same one running our own flagship — skinned to your brand and handed to you fully staffed.

Provably-fair draws

Commit-reveal plus public randomness on every draw. Auto-draws or a live on-stage reveal — both verifiable to the ticket.

Instant wins & reveal games

Sealed instant-win maps with 14 branded reveal games — safes, scratch cards, advent doors and more. All theatre, zero reel-gambling mechanics.

Full admin back office

One-screen comp builder, wins audit, customer 360, live reporting and P&L, prize fulfilment tracker and printable shipping labels.

Payments & wallets built in

Hosted card checkout, site-credit and cash wallets, instant-win payouts and player cash withdrawals — PCI handled by the gateway, not you.

Email & marketing

Audience sync, abandoned-basket recovery, branded emails and one-click broadcasts to opted-in players — all GDPR-clean.

Installable app (PWA)

Players install your site like a native app straight from the browser — home-screen icon, offline shell and push notifications.

Live draw studio

An OBS-ready draw show — slot-spin reveal, on-screen verification ticks and a scan-to-check QR for viewers' phones.

Compliance, built in

Skill question and free postal route, 18+ gating, responsible-play limits and self-exclusion, GDPR export and erasure — the legal scaffolding, ready.

Bulletproof integrity

No-oversell ticket allocation, stress-tested against stampedes, hosted with SSL and rolling backups. Zero duplicate tickets, ever.

Every build ships fully loaded.

No modules to buy, no feature paywall, no “that’s an add-on”. One package — this is everything that runs on your site from day one, the same system our own flagship runs on. Your Site-features dashboard decides what’s switched on.

The difference

Anyone can build a comp site. Only ours wears the seal.

The platform gets you online. ABOS Verified is what makes players choose you — a trust network no competitor can copy overnight.

01 — THE SEAL

A mark players look for

The ABOS Verified seal only stays on your site while every draw checks out. It becomes the badge punters learn to trust — the way a padlock means “safe”.

02 — THE REGISTER

A public board that self-polices

Every hosted site sits on one public Fairness Register. We independently re-derive each draw. Tamper with anything and a tick flips red — permanently, for the whole world to see.

03 — THE REACH

Ranked first where players look

Verified competitions rank top on CompHunter, the aggregator where players discover comps — distribution and a trust advantage your non-verified rivals simply can't buy.

Four checks on every competition
Setup sealed

04 — GROW

Hosted & supported

We host, back up, monitor and support — you appear on CompHunter and get on with running competitions.

Why choose ABOS

Six reasons operators pick us over building it themselves.

You could stitch together a shop, a plugin, a host and a designer — and still not be able to prove a single draw. Here's what you get instead.

01

Provably fair by design

Every draw is publicly verifiable and carries the seal. No rival can offer that without joining our register — which is exactly the advantage you're buying.

02

Battle-tested, not beta

Stress-tested against sell-out stampedes with zero oversold and zero duplicate tickets, on infrastructure built for the final-hour rush — not a demo that's never seen real load.

03

No revenue share, ever

One build fee, one flat monthly. We never take a cut of your draws — every penny of the upside is yours to keep and grow.

04

Built for the final hour

When a competition sells out in minutes, our no-oversell engine holds. Stress-tested against stampedes: zero duplicate tickets, zero oversell.

05

Compliance built in

Skill question, free entry, 18+, responsible play and GDPR tools ship as standard — the legal scaffolding ready, not bolted on after a scare.

06

One partner, end to end

We design, build, host, certify and get you onto CompHunter. One team, one bill — no agency-plus-plugins-plus-host juggling act.

Compliance

Built to the DCMS Voluntary Code for prize draws.

The government's Code of Conduct for prize draws and competitions expects signatories to be fully compliant by 20 May 2026 — player protections, transparency and accountability. Most operators will scramble to retrofit it. Ours inherit the hard parts on day one. Here's the honest split of who does what.

What the platform does for you

Compliance, engineered in.

  • Verifiably random, auditable draws — the Code's fair-award test, met by mathematics, with the mechanism published for players.
  • Odds and total tickets shown before entry; the free entry route displayed pre-purchase with an equal chance of winning.
  • Draws sealed at launch — structurally impossible to cut a prize, move a date or cancel for low sales.
  • Player spending limits (down to £0) with a 48-hour cool-off on increases, enforced at checkout.
  • Pause, 6/12-month suspension and permanent self-exclusion — with marketing automatically silenced for those players.
  • Harm-indicator flags and a live instant-win traffic light in your back office, so you can act early and keep the right mix.
  • A credit-card control engine: £250/month tracking and a credit-card block on instant-win draws.
  • A published Responsible Play page — your measures and support signposting (the Code's accountability requirement), live from day one.
  • A tracked complaints inbox, opt-in-only marketing, and 18+ terms throughout.
What stays on your desk

The operator's side of the deal.

  • Sign the Code and act in good faith — it's your name on it, and it's free.
  • Choose your age-verification bar — self-declaration or a full ID-check provider. We'll wire in whichever you pick.
  • Ask your payment provider to enforce card-type rules at the gateway (debit-only or credit limits) — that closes the gap our platform-side cap can't see until a card has been used once.
  • Keep your marketing socially responsible and CAP/BCAP-compliant — we give you the opt-in audience, the content is yours.
  • Watch the traffic light — keep instant-win draws a minority of your live comps.
  • Fulfil prizes promptly and honour advertised cash alternatives.
  • Your terms and conditions and final legal sign-off — we're engineers, not your solicitors.

Why this matters: the Code's implementation deadline is 20 May 2026. Operators building on spreadsheets and shop plugins have to retrofit every one of these measures by hand. Operators on this platform switch them on.

Straight answers

The questions everyone asks.

QIs running a competition site legal?

Run correctly, prize competitions are legal in the UK when they turn on genuine skill and offer a free entry route — which is different from a lottery. We build both in from day one: a skill question and a free postal route, plus 18+ gating and responsible-play tools. We set up the scaffolding; you'll still want your own solicitor to sign off your terms — we're engineers, not your legal counsel.

QWhat does the seal actually certify?

The integrity of the draw — that the winner, the instant-win map and the entry list were sealed and drawn exactly as promised, provable by anyone. It is deliberately honest about scope: it certifies the maths, not whether a prize was posted on time. Prize fulfilment is a separate reputation layer, and we never pretend otherwise.

QCan players really verify a draw themselves?

Yes — with no account and no trust in us. Each competition has a public verify page that fetches the same public randomness and re-derives the exact same winner in the player's own browser. If our number and their number match, the draw was straight. If they didn't, it would be obvious to everyone.

QDo I need to be technical?

No. We design, build, host, monitor, back up and support the whole thing. You run competitions from a simple back office; we keep the lights on and the seal valid.

QCan I use my own brand and domain?

Completely. The site is skinned to your colours, logo and voice on your own domain, and we can migrate you across from an existing site. Payments run through your own gateway account, and email and SMS connect to your own providers — so you own the relationships, not us.

QDo players get a real app?

Yes — every site ships as an installable web app: players add it to their home screen with your icon and get push notifications, with no app store needed and nothing to approve. On the White-label tier we also build native iOS and Android apps — but we'll be straight with you: getting a prize-competition app approved, on Apple's store especially, is genuinely hard right now, and the stores control that, not us. We build and submit it; most operators launch on the web app from day one and add native once approval lands.
