Fair Play
Fair play principles guide how games, scratchcards, and lottery betting operate across the platform. Clear rules, independent oversight, and certified technology help protect transparency and integrity at every stage. The sections below explain how fairness applies to lotto betting, scratchcards, and games, as well as the controls used by suppliers and testing bodies.
Fairness in Lotto Betting
Lottery betting products follow official draw results issued by established third-party lottery operators. These operators belong to recognised international lottery organisations and operate under strict national supervision. Draws take place under government control or approved regulatory oversight and undergo frequent audits to protect public trust.
Results published on the platform directly reflect official draw outcomes. Independent verification remains possible through official lottery publications, public draw records, and, in some regions, live televised or streamed draw broadcasts.
Lottery betting outcomes do not rely on internal generation. Draw data originates from official sources and follows defined settlement rules. Additional information regarding draw sources, settlement timing, and applicable rules remains available within the lotto rules section and platform terms.
Scratchcard Integrity Standards
Scratchcards follow defined mathematical and technical models that determine prize distribution and symbol outcomes. Each card design undergoes regulatory review and testing before release.
Outcomes rely on certified systems that determine results instantly and consistently. Symbols, prize matches, and bonus elements operate according to fixed logic. External interference or manual influence does not apply at any stage.
Scratchcards follow the same underlying fairness principles used for digital games, including certified randomness, independent testing, and regulatory approval before publication.
Fairness Across Games
Games and scratchcards originate from recognised third-party studios that operate under strict regulatory standards. Each title follows a predefined mathematical framework that governs prize frequency, payout size, and long-term return expectations.
Once a game receives certification and goes live, behaviour remains locked. Changes to logic, payout structure, or feature behaviour require a full review and new certification before release. This process protects consistency and transparency for all activities.
The sections below explain how studios qualify, how games receive approval, and how fairness remains protected throughout a game’s lifecycle.
Studio Compliance and Oversight
Studios must meet strict conditions before publication becomes possible. These conditions ensure accountability and technical reliability. Key requirements include:
- Valid licensing from recognised regulatory authorities in applicable jurisdictions
- Registration of studios and individual games with regulators, where required
- Disclosure of game launches and partnerships to oversight bodies
- Use of accredited independent testing facilities approved by regulators
- Certified random number generation systems are used during game development
Random number generators form the foundation of chance-based outcomes. Certification requires extensive inspection of software or hardware components and simulation testing across billions of result sequences. Only certified systems may support approved games.
Game Approval and Certification Process
Before publication, each game follows a structured approval path designed to confirm statistical accuracy and technical reliability. The process includes:
- Mathematical design based on probability modelling and statistical behaviour
- Internal simulation testing across hundreds of millions or billions of plays
- Verification that simulated outcomes align with design expectations
- Submission to an accredited testing facility for independent evaluation
Testing facilities review mathematical documentation, inspect source code, validate rules, assess usability, and confirm consistency across all play scenarios. Simulation testing at this stage also confirms fairness under extensive usage conditions.
After a successful evaluation, games receive certification for specific jurisdictions. Any later change requires a separate approval cycle before public access becomes possible. Certified games may also require registration with regulators before launch.
Return to Player (RTP) Explained
Each game includes a published Return to Player value expressed as a percentage. RTP reflects the long-term statistical expectation of total stake value returned to players across all activities.
For example, a game with a 92% RTP indicates that, over a very large number of plays, £92 returns to players for every £100 wagered. RTP reflects collective activity rather than individual outcomes. Several factors influence perceived results:
- RTP represents aggregate play across many players and platforms
- Short-term results may differ significantly from published values
- Smaller sample sizes produce wider variation
- Individual sessions may exceed or fall below published RTP values
Volatility also affects outcome patterns. Low-volatility games tend to produce smaller wins more often. High-volatility games tend to produce larger wins less often. Volatility influences distribution but does not change RTP.
Reviewing Game Information
Each published game includes detailed information designed to support transparency and informed decisions. Available details typically include:
- RTP percentage
- Volatility classification
- Hit rate information
- Feature summaries
- Top prize details
- Minimum and maximum stake values
- Screen orientation and device compatibility
Full game rules and paytables remain accessible within each title. Reviewing these materials before play provides clarity on symbol behaviour, prize triggers, and special features.
Ongoing Monitoring and Controls
Fairness remains protected after release through ongoing oversight. Regulatory reporting, internal monitoring, and supplier obligations continue throughout the lifecycle of each product.
Game logic remains fixed once live. Any deviation from certified behaviour would trigger investigation and regulatory review. Periodic audits and compliance checks help confirm continued adherence to approved standards.
Lottery betting, scratchcards, and games all operate under documented rules that remain available for review.
Key Fair Play Principles
Several core principles apply across all products:
- Lottery betting relies on official, verifiable draw outcomes
- Scratchcards and games follow certified mathematical models
- Random number generation remains independently tested
- Accredited facilities evaluate all games before release
- Game behaviour remains fixed after certification
- RTP reflects long-term collective activity
- Volatility influences result patterns without altering RTP
These principles support transparency, consistency, and regulatory compliance across all activities.
