Compliance with SA regulations - Australia
When running a national competition ensure the prize draw tool you use is pre-approved and registered in South Australia. This is important even when you don't need a permit in SA.

Which file format?
Our system accepts CSV, TXT and TSV file formats. Why?
It is easy to parse more modern formats like XLS, ODS, etc, however these create a number of risks/issues:
- hidden data: rows and columns may be hidden
- multiple tabs: which tab is the entry data in?
- display limitations, e.g. Excel currently only allows 1,048,576 rows
For these reasons and more, our system only accepts pure text based formats to ensure that the draws are complete, accurate and transparent.

System upgrade: maximum entries and prizes increased

Keeping Records
Did you know that you need to keep records of the draw in order to be compliant? Each jurisdiction has differing requirements, but it is generally appropriate to maintain the draw records (lists of entries, winners, scrutineer sign-off, etc.) for at least 12 months, sometimes 3+ years.
Our system, automatically stores the uploaded entries, winners and other important draw details (time/date, IP address, etc.), as well as generating a certificate.

Anonymous Draws
If you have legal requirements or security concerns, you can conduct an anonymous random draw by removing all personally identifying info from each row. For instance, upload only the row ID numbers or some other unique identifier which you can match with your records after the draw. This means that none of your private data will ever be uploaded or stored.
