1) Transparent Winner Selection

• Bonus Ball outcomes are determined using the official UK Lotto Bonus Ball results.
• The results are publicly published and independently verifiable.
• TheBonusBall does not generate, select, or manipulate results.

2) Round 1 Main Prize Result

• Round 1 is used to determine the main prize winner.
• If an entrant’s chosen number matches the official Round 1 Bonus Ball, that entrant wins the main prize shown.
• The Round 1 result is checked against the recorded entry list for that competition.

3) Round 2 Website Credit Result

• Round 2 provides a second chance for eligible entrants who did not win the main prize in Round 1.
• If an entrant’s chosen number matches the official Round 2 Bonus Ball, they receive their entry fee back as website credit.
• Round 2 does not award the main prize unless clearly stated otherwise on a specific competition page.

4) Fixed Ticket Number System

• Bonus Ball competitions use ticket numbers 1–59.
• Each number can only be owned by one entrant per draw.
• This prevents duplicate claims on the same number for the same competition.

5) Entry Logs & Record Keeping

• All paid and free entries are logged and timestamped.
• Order records are retained for auditing and verification.
• Historical entry data can be reviewed internally if needed.

6) Rollover Fairness

• If a competition does not sell out, it may roll over fairly to the next applicable live draw.
• No entries are removed or modified during rollover.
• Round 1 and Round 2 only apply to the draw date that the competition is active for.

7) Winner Verification

• Round 1 main prize winners are contacted within 24 hours where possible.
• Identity verification may be required before prize fulfilment.
• Round 2 website credit winners may have credit added after verification.

8) Public Winners Archive

• We publish main prize winners on our Winners page.
• Names are displayed in a privacy-safe format.
• This provides public proof of legitimate prize fulfilment.

9) No Internal Outcome Control

• TheBonusBall does not control draw outcomes.
• Round 1 and Round 2 results come from an external independent public source.
• This removes any internal conflict of interest over winner selection.

10) Fraud Prevention Measures

• Duplicate accounts or suspicious activity may be investigated.
• Chargeback abuse or manipulation attempts can result in disqualification.
• We reserve the right to protect competition integrity.

11) Independent Review Commitment

• If concerns arise, we will review records and publish clarifications where appropriate.
• We are open to independent legal or compliance audits.
• We welcome fairness scrutiny from users and regulators.
