Official Draw Rules

1. Overview and Acceptance

The Alliance Rewards Club ("we", "us", "our", "Company", "Promoter") conducts regular prize draws for active members. These Official Draw Rules ("Rules", "Draw Rules") govern all draws conducted by the Alliance Rewards Club and supplement our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.

By participating in any draw, creating an account, or subscribing to a membership, you agree to be bound by these Rules in their entirety. If you do not agree to these Rules, you must not participate in draws or subscribe to our Service.

All draws are conducted in accordance with Australian law, including but not limited to applicable gaming, lottery, consumer protection, tax, and privacy legislation. These Rules are designed to ensure fairness, transparency, and compliance with all legal requirements.

We reserve the right to modify these Rules at any time. Material changes will be communicated to active members via email at least 7 days before taking effect. Your continued participation in draws after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Rules.

2. Definitions

4. Membership Tiers and Entry Allocation

Entries into each Draw are allocated automatically based on your active membership tier. Entry allocations are fixed and cannot be modified, purchased separately, or transferred.

5. Draw Schedule, Types, and Prize Pools

5.1 Draw Frequency and Schedule

Alliance Rewards Club conducts Draws on the following regular schedule:

All times referenced are in Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) or Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) depending on the date. We will clearly indicate the applicable timezone in all Draw announcements.

5.2 Prize Pools and Values

Prize pools vary by Draw type and may increase based on membership size and special promotions:

Prize pools grow with membership size. The actual prize pool and specific prizes for each Draw will be announced on our website and via email to active Members at least 24 hours before the entry period opens (7 days for special events).

5.3 Prize Types

• Event Tickets: Concerts, sports events, festivals, VIP experiences
• Vouchers/Gift Cards: Retail, dining, entertainment, fuel
• Luxury Items: Jewelry, watches, designer goods
• Other: Any other lawful prize of value

6. Entry Mechanics and Process

6.1 Automatic Entry Allocation

Entry allocation is fully automated:

• When a Draw entry period opens, the system automatically allocates entries to all eligible Members based on their current tier
• No manual action is required - you do not need to "enter" or "register" for each Draw
• Entries are recorded in our database with a unique sequential entry number for each entry
• You can view your entry allocations and entry numbers in your member dashboard
• Entry allocations are final once the Draw entry period closes

6.2 Entry Numbering System

Each entry is assigned a unique number:

• All entries across all Members are numbered sequentially (e.g., 1, 2, 3, ... N)
• Entry numbers are assigned in the order Members join the platform and their tier levels
• Each Member's entries are grouped together (e.g., Member A: entries 1-3, Member B: entries 4-9, etc.)
• Entry number ranges for each Member are visible in their dashboard
• The total number of entries in each Draw is published before the Draw

6.3 Entry Period and Deadlines

Entry period mechanics:

• Entry periods open and close automatically at the times specified for each Draw type
• Entries are allocated when the entry period opens, not when you subscribe
• If you subscribe after a Draw entry period opens, you will receive entries for the next Draw, not the current one
• No entries can be added, removed, or modified after the entry period closes
• The entry period close time is the absolute deadline - system timestamps are final

6.4 Membership Status During Draw Period

Your membership must remain active throughout the Draw period:

• If your membership expires or is cancelled before the Draw date, all entries for that Draw are forfeited
• If payment fails before the Draw date, entries are forfeited
• If your account is suspended or terminated, entries are immediately forfeited
• Refunds or chargebacks will result in immediate forfeiture of all entries
• You must maintain good standing from entry allocation through prize distribution

7. Draw Mechanics: Provably Fair Blockchain System

All Draws are conducted using a provably fair, blockchain-verified random selection system. This ensures complete transparency, prevents manipulation, and allows any Member to independently verify Draw results.

7.1 Blockchain Verification Overview

Our provably fair system works as follows:

1. Before the Draw, we publish a random seed value (a cryptographic hash)
2. At the scheduled Draw time, we retrieve the latest block hash from a public blockchain (Bitcoin or Ethereum)
3. The blockchain hash is combined with our pre-published seed using a cryptographic function (SHA-256)
4. The resulting value is used to deterministically select the winning entry number
5. All values (seed, blockchain hash, winning entry) are published and recorded permanently
6. Anyone can verify the Draw by replicating the calculation with the published values

7.2 Pre-Draw Seed Publication

Before each Draw:

• We generate a random seed value using cryptographically secure random number generation
• The seed is hashed using SHA-256 and the hash is published on our website at least 24 hours before the Draw
• The seed hash is immutably recorded with a timestamp to prevent tampering
• Members can view and save the seed hash before the Draw
• After the Draw, we reveal the original seed value for verification

7.3 Winner Selection Algorithm

The winner is selected using the following deterministic algorithm:

This algorithm is completely deterministic - given the same inputs (blockchain hash, seed, total entries), it will always produce the same winning entry number. This prevents any possibility of manipulation after the blockchain hash is retrieved.

7.4 Verification Process for Members

Members can independently verify Draw results:

• After the Draw, we publish: the revealed seed, the blockchain hash used, the Draw timestamp, the total number of entries, and the winning entry number
• Members can retrieve the same blockchain hash from public blockchain explorers (Bitcoin: blockchain.com, Ethereum: etherscan.io)
• Members can replicate the calculation using the published values
• Verification tools are provided in the member dashboard
• Step-by-step verification instructions are available on our website

7.5 Transparency and Auditability

Complete Draw transparency:

• All Draw parameters, seeds, hashes, and results are published permanently on our website
• Members can view complete Draw history and verify any past Draw
• The blockchain hashes used are publicly verifiable on third-party blockchain explorers
• We maintain immutable audit logs of all Draw operations
• Independent auditors can verify Draw fairness at any time

7.6 System Integrity Guarantees

Our provably fair system guarantees:

• Unpredictability: The winning entry cannot be predicted before the Draw because the blockchain hash is unknown until the Draw time
• No Manipulation: We cannot manipulate the outcome because the blockchain hash is public and beyond our control
• Verifiability: Anyone can verify Draw results using publicly available data
• Immutability: Once the blockchain hash is retrieved, the result is mathematically determined and cannot be changed
• Transparency: All Draw inputs and outputs are published for public inspection

8. Winner Notification and Verification

8.1 Winner Notification Process

Winners will be notified within 48 hours of the Draw via multiple channels:

• Email: Sent to the winner's registered email address with subject line "Congratulations - You Won!"
