Blockchain-based platforms are becoming a new norm now, as people continue to adopt it across industry segments. As they grow more comfortable with the new technology, the need for solutions that are robust and trustless in their everyday life is of utmost priority.
One of the segments that badly needs a trustless, transparent environment is that involving “game of chance”, in other words, traditional lotteries and betting platforms. With traditional lottery system, there is very little transparency and credibility. They have no built-in mechanisms to ensure protection against mismanagement or fraud, as they rely on techniques that are hardly auditable, sometimes susceptible to manipulation and rigging. This undermines confidence and drives prospective customers to technology platforms that can offer a real guarantee of quality and fair play.
Actually, the lottery client needs few simple things that are important:
- an understandable lottery format
- a transparent and fair drawing process
- prompt prize payment.
These requirements can be very well matched by using the Bitcoin and blockchain technologies.
Bitplay Club, a Curaçao-based game operator, has taken the initiative to build a simple, yet provably fair lottery format. The lottery model boils down to a simple formula published on the lottery website, and the hash values of recently found Bitcoin blocks. Participants in the lottery choose numbers before a certain deadline. The winning numbers are then calculated using the hashes of recent Bitcoin blocks found on the blockchain right after the deadline expires.
The company says lotteries not only provide chances to wi but also bring entertainment. They should never be overly complicated. Thus, the Bitplay Club Lottery service is clear and user-friendly; as such, it should appeal to both experts and newbies in the lottery business.
The formula that calculates the winning numbers is fully auditable. Anyone can obtain the numbers that won independently from Bitcoin blockchain, and make sure the formula is working and reliable.
Bitplay Club hopes that the level of clarity and transparency will impact the entire lottery landscape and meet the growing demand for trustless transactions. Even if the current product fits the client perfectly, the company intends to maintain a good pace and continue rolling out new lottery products on a regular basis. The customer feedback will be critical; any improvements to the format or interface will be implemented as fast as possible to uphold the quality and user satisfaction.
Bitplay Club aspires to become a major blockchain lottery operator, whose products promote the values of transparent relationship with the client, transparent drawing process, transparent and 100% provably fair outcome.
Bitplay Club Lottery is available on desktop and mobile platforms. Both platforms were launched on December 8, 2017, so there have been 46 draws since. The jackpot is yet to be hit and as of January 22, 2018, the pool stands at above 4.2 BTC.
