Fairness Policy
Last updated: April 2, 2026
Our Commitment
BreakAuctions is built on a single non-negotiable principle: every participant has a fair, equal, and mathematically verifiable chance of being drawn based solely on the number of spots they hold. We will never manipulate, delay, or interfere with any draw outcome. This policy describes exactly how we ensure that commitment is kept.
How the Draw Works
When an auction is ready to draw (all spots sold, or deadline reached), the following process occurs:
Random.org
Random.org is an independent randomness service that has been operating since 1998. It generates random numbers using atmospheric noise measured from radio receivers — not software pseudorandomness. It is used by governments, universities, and businesses worldwide for lotteries, draws, and security applications.
Visit Random.orgFallback Mechanism
In the rare event that Random.org is temporarily unavailable, our system automatically falls back to a cryptographically secure random number generator using Node.js's built-in crypto module. This fallback is unbiased and unpredictable, and its use is transparently flagged in the draw log on the Winners page.
Spot Assignment Integrity
Spot numbers are assigned at the database level using a transactional SQL function with row-level locking. This means it is technically impossible for two users to be assigned the same spot number, even if they purchase simultaneously. Every spot assignment is atomic, permanent, and auditable.
What We Cannot Do
- We cannot predict or know the called number before the draw.
- We cannot change the called number after it is generated.
- We cannot assign drawn spots to specific users.
- We cannot run a draw twice and pick a preferred outcome.
- We cannot issue duplicate spot numbers to the same or different users.
Verifying a Draw
Every completed draw is logged with its Random.org request ID. You can independently verify any draw by:
- Visiting the Winners page on BreakAuctions.
- Noting the Random.org Request ID for the draw in question.
- Contacting us at info@breakauctions.com to request the full draw log for any auction.
