Skill-based contest: why it's not a lottery
How it works · Équipe Viatous · 4 min
On Viatous, the winner is never drawn at random. It's a skill-based contest: skill decides, not chance. Here's why it's fundamentally different from a lottery.
A timed question
With each participation, you answer a knowledge question tied to the item's category, within a time limit. Recognizing a model, a year, a genuine logo takes attention and reflexes, not luck.
The fastest correct answer wins
Among all correct answers, the fastest one wins. Time is measured server-side, impossible to fake.
Zero chance, fully verifiable
The designation is 100% deterministic: anyone can recompute the winner from the published answers and times. No random draw, no black box.
That's a skill-based contest
Skill predominates over chance. That's what sets Viatous apart from a lottery — and what makes every designation transparent and deserved.
