Raffles
1. What is a raffle and why should I join?
A raffle is a prize draw where participants get numbered tickets based on their activity — like creating miners, upgrading them, or completing other conditions.
Each raffle has its own rules, but the more tickets you earn, the higher your chances of winning. At the end of the raffle, winners are picked randomly based on a transparent blockchain-based algorithm.
Prizes can include GoMiners access keys, tokens, and other exclusive rewards. It’s a fun and rewarding way to get more out of what you already do in the GoMining app.
2. Who can participate?
Anyone with a GoMining account can take part in raffles, but most raffles require you to have at least one active miner (besides the Bonus miner) to collect tickets.
You’ll start collecting tickets automatically if you meet the raffle conditions — but to appear in the list of participants and be eligible to win, you must confirm your participation by tapping the "Take part" button in the raffle.
If you haven’t confirmed, your tickets still accumulate — they’ll be counted once you join.
3. How do raffle tickets work?
You earn raffle tickets with unique numbers by completing certain actions (like creating a miner or upgrading its power). The more you do, the more tickets you get. Conditions for earning tickets may differ from raffle to raffle.
For example, if 1 ticket = $10 spent on upgrades, spending $99 will earn you 9 tickets.
Tickets are only awarded after you confirm participation in the raffle. If you’ve already made purchases during the raffle period before joining, don’t worry — they’ll still count once you opt in.
4. Ticket assignment rules
Ticket numbers are assigned only after you confirm your participation. Numbers are assigned sequentially from 0 to N - 1, where N is the total number of tickets issued in the raffle. If you earn multiple tickets for a single action, like upgrading a miner, they’ll be assigned consecutively.
If two users make purchases at the same time, the user with the lower user ID gets their tickets assigned first.
If a qualifying purchase is later canceled, the associated tickets become inactive, but their numbers remain in the system. Once a raffle ends, no more tickets can be issued.
5. How is the winner chosen?
When the raffle ends, we:
Divide this number by the total number of tickets, and the winner is the ticket with the remainder of that division
What if something goes wrong?
If the winning ticket was canceled
If a duplicate winner is selected (for raffles with multiple prizes)
If another prize needs to be awarded (for raffles with multiple prizes)
Then the draw is repeated: we use the hash of the previous Bitcoin block and divide it by N - 1, N - 2, and so on — until a valid winner is found
6. How do I claim my prize?
All prizes must be claimed manually by tapping the "Claim Prize" button on the raffle screen. Some prizes will be credited to your account automatically right after you tap the button. Others may require contacting our support team — in that case, you’ll see clear instructions in the app.
Important: GoMining will never contact you via Telegram, WhatsApp or other messengers to say you’ve won. If someone does — it’s a scam. Never share your personal information with anyone.
