Why Viatous is Not a Lottery: Transparency and SHA-256
Security & trust · Équipe Viatous · 4 min
A Model Based 100% on Your Skills
Contrary to popular belief and traditional raffle platforms, Viatous is not a lottery . In France, legislation strictly regulates games of chance. This is why our technical architecture has been specifically designed to completely eliminate any random element in designating the winner.
Zero Luck, Only the Server Stopwatch Rules
On Viatous, you do not drop a ticket into a ballot box hoping to be drawn. Each campaign concludes with a skill and general knowledge contest . To win the featured item, two strict and measurable criteria apply:
Accuracy: You must absolutely provide the correct answer to the quiz.
Speed: The system records your response time down to the millisecond, directly server-side, to prevent any cheating.
The winner is therefore the participant who submitted the correct answer fastest. In the event of a perfect tie, the system automatically selects the oldest entry.
Total Transparency Guaranteed by SHA-256 Cryptography
To prove our complete impartiality, Viatous uses a public cryptographic hashing protocol ( SHA-256 ). As soon as a campaign closes, all responses and timestamps are frozen into an unalterable digital footprint. Our platform can under no circumstances modify the results or pick a winner arbitrarily. Every participant can independently verify and recalculate the final result in total transparency.
