Competitions
Run exciting giveaways with prizes and random winner selection. Competition mode lets participants earn entries through actions, with winners chosen at random when your campaign ends.
Overview
Competition mode transforms your campaign into a traditional giveaway. Participants complete actions to earn entries, and when your campaign ends, you randomly select winners from all eligible entrants.
This format works well for product launches, viral marketing campaigns, and any time you want to generate excitement around specific prizes.
Prize Management
Create an enticing prize lineup with up to 10 different prizes:
Go to the Prizes tab in your promotion editor
Click "Add Prize" to create a new prize
Enter the prize name, value, and currency
Set the number of winners for this prize
Repeat for additional prizes
Prize Details
- Name - What the prize is (e.g., "$500 Gift Card")
- Value - The monetary value of the prize
- Currency - USD, EUR, GBP, etc.
- Number of Winners - How many people win this prize
Managing Prizes
- Edit any prize details by clicking on it

Example Prize Structures
Grand Prize Focus
- 1st Prize: $1000 (1 winner)
- 2nd Prize: $250 (2 winners)
- 3rd Prize: $50 (5 winners)
Best for: Maximum excitement, viral potential
Many Winners
- $50 Gift Card (20 winners)
Best for: Higher perceived chance of winning
Tip: Present prizes clearly to motivate participation. Whether you offer a grand prize with runner-ups or multiple equal prizes, make the value obvious.
Winner Selection
When your campaign ends, selecting winners is straightforward:
Go to the Prizes tab after your campaign has ended
Click "Select Winner" for the first prize
The system randomly chooses from all eligible entrants
Review the selected winner's details
Repeat for each prize position
How Random Selection Works
- Each entry counts as one chance to win
- More entries = higher probability of selection
- Selection is cryptographically random for fairness
- Previous winners are excluded from subsequent draws
Re-rolling Winners
If needed, you can re-roll to select a different winner. This might be useful if:
- A winner is unresponsive after contact attempts
- A winner is ineligible (wrong region, disqualified, etc.)
- A winner declines the prize
Note: All selection actions are logged for transparency and audit purposes.
Promoting Winners
Once you've selected winners, you can choose to display them publicly:
Winner Display Options
- Enable "Promote Winner" to show winner names on your campaign page
- Winners appear after the campaign ends
- Only first name or display name is shown (privacy-safe)
- Adds credibility and social proof for future campaigns
Benefits of Public Winners
