TrueNorth Autodraws

Let RaffleX draw your winner automatically through TrueNorth once a competition ends. This is the hands off way to run a fair, verifiable main prize draw.

With Auto Draw turned on for a competition, RaffleX picks the winner for you automatically as soon as the competition ends. If TrueNorth is connected, that automatic draw runs through TrueNorth's verifiable RNG, so the result is provably fair and there is nothing for you to do on the day.

This page assumes you have already connected your TrueNorth account. If you have not done that yet, start with TrueNorth Setup.

TrueNorth Setup

How It Fits Together

There are two parts to a verifiable automatic draw:

  • Provably Fair Autodraws (a site wide setting). This is switched on automatically when you connect TrueNorth. It tells RaffleX to run your automatic draws through TrueNorth.

  • Auto Draw (a setting on each competition). This tells RaffleX to draw that particular competition automatically when it ends.

So once TrueNorth is connected, every competition you set to Auto Draw will be drawn automatically and verifiably.

A competition is either drawn automatically or drawn live, not both. If you turn Auto Draw on, the live draw option will not appear for that competition. If you want to host the draw yourself, leave Auto Draw off and use Live Stream Draws instead.

Turn On Auto Draw for a Competition

Auto Draw is set on each competition.

  1. Go to Competitions in your admin panel.

  2. Open the competition you want to edit (or create a new one).

  3. Turn on Auto Draw. The helper text confirms this will let the system pick the winner for you at the draw date.

  4. Set the Draw Winner Quantity to the number of winners you want to draw.

  5. Save your changes.

Set Auto Draw before the competition ends. You can switch it on when you first create the competition, or at any point while it is still running.

What Happens When the Competition Ends

Once the competition has ended, RaffleX runs the draw for you automatically:

  • It draws the number of winners you set.

  • The draw runs through TrueNorth, so the result can be independently verified.

  • Each winner is emailed automatically, as soon as the result is saved.

You do not need to be online for this to happen.

If a competition sells out before its advertised draw date, the Draw on Sold Out setting decides whether the draw runs straight away or waits for the date you set. See Draw on Sold Out to choose what suits your business.

Wondering what happens if a competition reaches its end date without selling out? In most cases RaffleX still draws it for you after a short wait. There is one situation where you will need to step in.

Auto Draw When Not Sold Out

After the Draw

Once the draw is complete:

  • The winners are saved against the competition and shown on the competition page.

  • A Provably Fair Draw panel confirms the result was verified by TrueNorth.

  • Customers can use the Verify Result on TrueNorth link to check the result for themselves.

Because the draw is automatic, you do not need to add the winner yourself. RaffleX records the result and notifies the winner for you.

Prefer to Draw Live Instead?

If you would rather host the draw yourself and reveal each winner in real time, leave Auto Draw off and use Live Stream Draws.
