Prize draws
No round is running.
Hit Engine has not opened a prize draw yet. When one does, every parameter below will be published before a single entry is accepted — and you will be able to recompute the result yourself afterwards.
How it will work
Land a qualifying multiplier on an eligible Hit Engine game, then submit the bet ID. One qualifying bet is one ticket. Bet size buys nothing — a minimum stake keeps a round from being farmed with dust, and above that floor a large bet and a small one are worth exactly the same.
There is also a free postal route with identical odds and no purchase of any kind. Free entries appear in the published entry list alongside bet entries, so the promise is auditable rather than asserted.
Every bet ID is checked by a person. Nothing is verified while a round is running — entries are collected for the whole open window, then checked in one pass after it closes. An entry sitting as pending for days is normal and expected, not a problem.
The prize is paid as a Stake tip to the account that placed the winning bet. That account is the identity proof: nobody can claim someone else's win, because the payment goes to the bet, not to whoever submitted it.
Why you will not have to trust us
The winner is chosen by randomness that did not exist when the entry list was frozen. Both halves of that are published, and both are checkable without taking our word for anything.
- Before entries open, we publish the SHA-256 of a random seed somewhere we do not control. We cannot change the seed afterwards.
- When entries close and verification finishes, the full entry list is frozen, hashed and published — real usernames, real bet references.
- The draw uses a drand beacon whose publication time is fixed when the round is created, and which lands at least 30 minutes after the seal. We cannot know it in advance, and cannot change the list once it exists.
There is nothing to take on faith here, and you do not have to wait for a real round to see it: a demonstration round is published with a genuine drand beacon, and you can recompute it yourself right now.
Demonstration round
Not a real draw — no prize, no entrants. It exists so the verifier can be checked against real cryptography before the first live round opens.
