Specialist development for layered weekly and monthly UAE draw platforms
Emirates Draw popularised a layered draw structure in the UAE — frequent, low-cost weekly draws that build a subscriber base, paired with a larger monthly mega draw that drives the headline jackpot. Replicating this model is custom software work that goes well beyond a single recurring raffle: it needs a draw scheduling engine that runs multiple draw cadences in parallel, subscription ticketing with auto-renewal, and prize-tier logic that correctly allocates winnings across both draw types.
Because the platform is positioned as a national-scale brand, trust and transparency carry more weight than in a smaller raffle app. A provably fair data-driven RNG engine with a public audit trail, broadcast-quality live draw events, and a subscription management system that handles pause/cancel cleanly are what separate a credible national draw platform from a basic ticketing app.
