A UK prize competition platform with instant wins, live draws, site credit and spending limits. Free games are live, with paid entries ready for launch.
PrizePals is a UK online prize competition site with instant wins, prize draws and a free weekly game. We designed and built the platform on WordPress and WooCommerce, with our own engine for tickets, instant wins, live draws, site credit and spending limits. Free games are live now, and paid entries open at launch.
UK prize competitions rely on a skill question on every entry and a free postal entry route. Fair play had to be built into the platform itself, not left to the terms and conditions.
Entrants pay for tickets, so every draw has to be fair and every winning ticket has to be one that was really sold. The result also has to look right on a live stream.
A single competition can carry up to 25,000 tickets, each with its own number. Instant prizes have to land the moment an order goes through, whether the prize is cash, an item or site credit.
Players needed real controls over their own spending, and the site needed to welcome new players without letting one person enter a free game many times.
The draw screen shows a random number reveal built for live streams. For draws made by hand from paper slips on camera, the screen lands on the ticket that was drawn, accepts only tickets that were sold, valid and not already winners, and logs each one as a paper draw so the record is clear.
Card payments run through the client’s payment provider. Site credit won as a prize goes into a credit wallet with a full statement and is applied at checkout. Players can set their own spending limits and choose timed self exclusion.
Freebie Friday is a free weekly game with one entry per person and a duplicate account check. A free game can open before the main launch. Email and SMS sign up is optional, every consent is logged, players can change their preferences in their account, and every message carries an unsubscribe link.
The site is live at prizepalcompetitions.co.uk with seven competitions built, Freebie Friday open for free entry, a free postal route on every competition and a skill question on every entry. Paid entries, instant wins and live draws are built and tested, ready to open at launch.
