PrizeProof Verified
Badges are database facts, not marketing. Every claim you see on a competition traces back to a specific, dated record — never a copywriter's judgement call.
Principle
If you see the badge, we can show you why
The PrizeProof Verified badge and every claim beneath it render only when a real verification_claims record exists for that prize. There is no 'trust us' version — the underlying record, its date, and who granted it are all there to inspect.
The taxonomy
What each claim means
Prize verified
The prize itself has been checked against its description before the competition went live.
Owner verified
PrizeProof has confirmed who legally owns the prize being offered.
Asset inspected
The physical item has been inspected — not just described — by PrizeProof or an appointed inspector.
Finance checked
Any outstanding finance or encumbrance on the asset has been checked and declared.
Valuation recorded
An independent or documented valuation has been recorded for this prize.
Prize secured
The prize is secured — in PrizeProof's control or contractually committed — ahead of the draw.
Free entry included
This competition includes a genuine free postal entry route, on the same terms as paid entries.
Fulfilment tracked
Delivery or handover to the winner is tracked and recorded end to end.
Draws
Verification doesn't stop at the prize
The same principle applies to the draw itself: a commitment published before entries open, an immutable entry snapshot at close, and a result drawn from public randomness — every input published for anyone to recompute.
