XRPL (XRP Ledger)

XRPLottery allows you to purchase digital tickets via the XRPL network to participate in an automated raffle drawing according to the rules displayed on this website.

XRPLottery is a private digital service built on blockchain technology (XRPL). It is not a national, public, or state-operated lottery.

The Service operates in a fully automated manner through XRPL transactions and an algorithmic draw, with no human intervention in winner selection.

Important: On-chain data is public by design. If you do not want your address and transactions to be publicly visible, do not use the Service.

Payment Rules (Quick Summary)
  • The payment must match the exact amount displayed on the purchase page.
  • The DestinationTag must match the chosen ticket number (and be within the allowed range).
  • Transactions are processed automatically once validated on the XRPL.
  • 1 valid payment = 1 ticket.
  • Automatic refunds: invalid payments (wrong amount, missing/invalid tag, already sold ticket, out-of-range tag) are automatically refunded minus a fixed 0.1 XRP fee.

If a ticket has already been purchased, any payment attempt using the same DestinationTag is considered invalid.

XRPL transactions are generally irreversible. Always double-check the address, amount, and DestinationTag before sending.

How It Works

XRPLottery is simple: choose a ticket number, send an XRPL payment with the matching DestinationTag, and the draw happens automatically once sales close.

1

Choose a Ticket

On the purchase page, click an available ticket number.
2

Send Payment

Send the exact amount to the displayed deposit address, using DestinationTag = ticket number.
Example: DestinationTag = 123 to buy ticket #123.
3

XRPL Validation

After confirmation on the XRPL network, your ticket will show as purchased (sold) on the site.
4

Close & Draw

At sales closing time, one winner is randomly selected from all sold tickets.
5

Automatic Payout

The prize is sent automatically to the winner. The site then displays the latest paid draw (amount, winner, transaction).
6

Provably Fair Verification (Optional)

Anyone can independently verify the draw result using public data (sold tickets order, XRPL anchor ledger, and published seeds). A verification script may be provided on GitHub (see footer).

Gambling Involves Risks

Responsible Gaming

Gambling involves risks, including but not limited to financial loss, addiction, and social isolation.

XRPLottery is a game of chance using blockchain-based digital assets. No winnings are guaranteed, and any amount used to participate may be lost entirely.

Users acknowledge that participation should be undertaken responsibly and only with digital assets they can afford to lose.

XRP is a digital asset used within a decentralized blockchain network and does not constitute legal tender, fiat currency, electronic money, or a regulated financial instrument. Its value may fluctuate significantly and is not guaranteed by any authority.

Participation in the Service involves the use of digital assets that may have market value but are not recognized as official currency. Users are solely responsible for understanding the risks associated with holding and transferring digital assets.

Access to the service is strictly limited to adults (18+ or 21+, depending on applicable local laws).
Users are responsible for ensuring that participation is lawful in their jurisdiction.

Eligibility & Local Restrictions

You must be of legal age to participate (18+ or 21+ depending on your jurisdiction). By using the Service, you represent that you meet the minimum legal age requirement.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that participation is legal in your jurisdiction and that you are not prohibited from using blockchain-based games of chance.

The Operator does not provide legal advice. If participation is prohibited where you are located, you must not use the Service.

The Operator may restrict or block access to the Service in certain countries or regions, or for compliance, safety, or risk management reasons, including sanctioned jurisdictions.

Definitions

  • Service: the XRPLottery website, APIs, and related software operated by the private operator (“Operator”).
  • XRPL: the XRP Ledger network used to send and validate transactions.
  • Draw: a raffle round with a sales period and a closing time (sales_close_at).
  • Sales Close / sales_close_at: the UTC timestamp displayed on the website at which ticket sales close.
  • Ticket: one entry identified by a ticket number, encoded by DestinationTag.
  • Valid Payment: an XRPL payment that matches the required destination address, correct amount, valid DestinationTag, and is validated on XRPL.
  • Gross Revenue / Gross Pot: the total XRP received for valid ticket purchases in a Draw.
  • Prize / Payout: the XRP amount paid to the Winner (typically 85% of Gross Revenue unless otherwise displayed).
  • Winner: the buyer account associated with the winning ticket, selected by the automated draw algorithm.
  • Anchor Ledger: the first validated XRPL ledger with close_time ≥ sales_close_at.
  • Provably Fair Data: data enabling independent verification (ticket list/order, seeds, anchor ledger, final seed hash, and winner index).

Ticket Sale Rules (Strict)

  • Maximum tickets: up to 1,000 tickets (or the number displayed on the site) are available per Draw.
  • Exact amount required: payment must match the amount displayed on the purchase page for that Draw.
  • Valid DestinationTag: DestinationTag must equal the chosen ticket number and be within the valid range.
  • One payment = one ticket: each valid payment corresponds to exactly one ticket entry.
  • First-come, first-served: allocation is based on XRPL validation time and deterministic processing by the Service.
  • Finality: a ticket is considered purchased only after the transaction is validated on XRPL and recognized by the Service.

The Operator may reject or refund payments that do not comply with these rules.
XRPL transactions are generally irreversible and cannot be “cancelled” by the Operator.

Game Structure, Pot & Prize Distribution

  • Maximum 1,000 tickets are available per draw (or as displayed).

The maximum limit of 1,000 tickets per draw is a deliberate design choice intended to keep probabilities transparent and understandable. Unlike some large-scale lotteries where winning odds can become extremely small and difficult to interpret, XRPLottery maintains a bounded participant pool so that the probability of winning remains clearly defined as 1 / N, where N is the number of sold tickets at draw closure.

This structure does not guarantee winnings and does not increase the likelihood of profit. It simply keeps the probability easy to understand and verify.

  • Prize distribution rules:
    • If 0 tickets are sold at Sales Close: the draw is void and no winner is selected.
    • If exactly 1 ticket is sold at Sales Close: 100% of the valid ticket revenue is paid to that ticket’s buyer (no service fee).
    • If 2 or more tickets are sold at Sales Close: 85% of total valid ticket revenue is paid to the winner and 15% is retained by the Service.
  • Service fee (only when 2+ tickets are sold): used to cover operational costs and fees, including:
    • XRPL network fees;
    • development and security;
    • infrastructure, maintenance, and ongoing improvements;
    • operations, visibility, and communication.

The Current Pot displayed on the Home page is an estimate of the expected payout based on currently validated ticket sales: it may reflect a 100% payout if only 1 ticket is sold so far, or a 85% payout when 2+ tickets are sold. Values may update as XRPL validations arrive. The final payout is determined at Sales Close.

Winner selection includes only sold tickets: only tickets that have actually been purchased participate in the draw. There are no “empty numbers.”

Winning probability (single ticket):
Let N ∈ ℕ* be the number of sold tickets at draw closing time. For any given ticket i, the probability of being selected is:

P(i) = 1 N

Probability illustration (for reference only, assuming one ticket held):
• 1 ticket out of 100 sold → 1% chance → potential prize pool: 850 XRP
• 1 ticket out of 500 sold → 0.2% chance → potential prize pool: 4,250 XRP
• 1 ticket out of 1,000 sold → 0.1% chance → potential prize pool: 8,500 XRP

XRPLottery intentionally avoids extremely large ticket pools to preserve clarity of probability rather than creating artificially large jackpots with extremely small odds.

Probability examples are illustrative only and do not guarantee any outcome. Actual probability depends solely on the number of tickets sold at draw closure.

Provably Fair (Verification)

XRPLottery provides a verifiable method allowing anyone to independently recompute the winner selection for a finalized Draw using published data. The canonical rules (as shown in the Transparency modals) include:

  • Ticket order: deterministic ordering (ticket_number ASC, id ASC).
  • Commit-reveal: server_seed_hash is published before Sales Close; server_seed_reveal is published after closure.
  • Client seed: deterministically derived from sold ticket payment transaction hashes.
  • Anchor ledger: first validated XRPL ledger with close_time ≥ sales_close_at.
  • Final seed: SHA-256 of the anchor ledger hash + server seed reveal + client seed + draw id + sales close timestamp.
  • Winner index: derived from the final seed and mapped to the ordered ticket list.

The Service may provide an open-source verification script (GitHub link in footer) to reproduce the process.

During the “open draw” phase, some values (e.g., server seed reveal and anchor ledger hash) are not available yet. They are published after Sales Close to enable full verification.

Payout Delivery & Wallet Responsibility

The Prize is sent automatically to the Winner’s XRPL account (the buyer account associated with the winning ticket).
Payout transactions are broadcast directly on the XRPL and include a public memo referencing the draw and winning ticket.

For transparency, the Service displays the payout transaction hash for each completed payout and links to the transaction on a public XRPL explorer.

Important: Purchasing tickets from custodial exchange wallets is strongly discouraged.
Self-custody XRPL wallets are recommended to ensure that any potential payout is received directly and without third-party processing.

Payout transactions are sent directly to the originating XRPL account and include a public memo only.
The Service does not add or manage DestinationTags for custodial exchange wallets.
Some exchanges may require additional internal identifiers to credit deposits, which are outside the control of the Operator.
When using custodial platforms, users accept that payout attribution depends entirely on the provider’s internal policies.

Refund Policy

An automatic refund is issued in case of error:

  • incorrect amount,
  • ticket already purchased,
  • missing or invalid DestinationTag,
  • DestinationTag outside the allowed ticket range.

A fixed penalty of 0.1 XRP is applied to automatic refunds. This amount covers network and processing costs associated with sending the refund transaction.

This fee also serves as an anti-abuse protection mechanism. Without such a rule, malicious actors could intentionally send large numbers of invalid transactions to force the Service to issue refunds and consume XRPL network fees, potentially draining operational funds.

By deducting a small fixed amount from the original payment, the refund uses the sender’s own balance to cover the associated costs. This helps preserve system integrity, prevents spam-based fee draining, and ensures fair operation for all participants.

The penalty is not intended as a punishment, but as a safeguard to maintain network sustainability and protect the Service against automated abuse or denial-of-service style refund attacks.

No refund is issued if the received amount is less than 0.1 XRP.
No refund is issued for transactions sent to an incorrect destination address.
All successful ticket purchases are final and non-refundable.

Refunds (when applicable) are sent back to the source address of the transaction.

Prohibited Use & Service Integrity

You agree to use the Service in good faith and not to interfere with its normal operation, fairness mechanisms, or availability for other participants.

  • attempt to manipulate or unfairly influence the draw or verification process;
  • generate excessive automated traffic or activity that may degrade service stability;
  • exploit vulnerabilities or misuse the platform in a manner inconsistent with normal participation;
  • engage in fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful behaviour.

The Operator may apply reasonable technical or operational measures — including temporary rate limiting, restriction of access, or rejection of invalid activity — when necessary to preserve fairness, security, and service availability for legitimate users.

Such measures are applied solely to maintain system integrity and do not affect the transparency or verifiability of completed draws.

Privacy & Data

The Service processes publicly available on-chain data from the XRP Ledger (XRPL), including wallet addresses and transaction hashes. These identifiers are pseudonymous and originate from a public blockchain that is not controlled by the Operator.

The Service may store limited service-related metadata necessary for operation and transparency, including ticket purchase records, draw history, leaderboard statistics, and profile-related values such as XP, streaks, wins, and gains.

XRPL addresses displayed in profiles, leaderboards, or transparency tools are publicly visible by design and derived from blockchain activity. Users should assume that participation may be publicly observable.

The Operator does not sell personal data and does not attempt to identify real-world identities behind blockchain addresses.

Blockchain data is permanent and governed by the XRPL network. The Operator cannot modify, delete, or restrict access to on-chain transactions once published.

External XRPL explorers or third-party infrastructure providers may process data independently under their own policies. The Operator is not responsible for third-party data practices.

Profiles, XP, Badges & Leaderboard

The Service includes public profile pages and a leaderboard that display statistics derived from participation, such as XP, streak, purchased tickets, wins, gains, and badges.

  • Public addresses: XRPL addresses and transaction hashes are public on the blockchain. Profiles may be viewable by anyone.
  • Auto-generated profiles: a profile can be created or updated automatically when you purchase a ticket or when a profile page is requested.
  • Informational stats: XP/streak/badges are computed by the Service (off-chain) for entertainment and ranking purposes and are not a financial promise or guaranteed benefit.
  • Changes & corrections: the Operator may recalibrate, correct, reset, or modify profile/leaderboard calculations if needed (bug fixes, abuse prevention, data corrections, upgrades).
  • No transferability: XP, streak, badges, and ranks are not transferable and have no cash value.

If you do not want your address to be associated with a profile view, do not use the Service.

Liability, Irreversibility & No Warranty

XRPL transactions are generally irreversible. You are solely responsible for the information entered/sent during payment (destination address, amount, DestinationTag).

The Operator cannot be held liable for errors in destination, incorrect DestinationTag, sending to the wrong address, wallet/provider restrictions, or issues related to the user’s wallet security.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Operator disclaims all warranties (express or implied) and is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.

Maintenance, outages, XRPL congestion, RPC downtime, explorers or third-party services may affect availability or timing.

Digital Asset & Market Risk Disclaimer

XRP is a digital asset with market volatility. The Operator does not provide investment advice. Participation uses digital assets that may fluctuate in value.

You acknowledge that you may lose the full amount spent on tickets and that past outcomes do not predict future results.
