Image Specs (PDF download)

Prize Images – must be a square format – 300×300-pixels is the best size. Use png and GIFs with or without transparency and jpeg images.

Scratch-Here Pad – must be a square format – 300×300-pixels is the best size. Use png and GIFs with or without transparency and jpeg images.

Logo: there is no size set-in stone; we recommend a max image area of 600×200-pixels, so it displays nice and big on desktop views and reduces in size nicely on mobile devices. You may need to play around with this and view it on your cellphone and PC to determine the best size and fit. If you make the logo too deep in height, it pushes everything down below it, such as the scratch-here pad, prize image, and claim prize. A logo that may be too deep in height may push the claim prize button too low and out of view for your players and cause confusion and game abandonment.

Background Image: First, NO high-res images are allowed; they may cause the campaign not to work correctly. Keep the file size below 200k. Vectors with abstract imagery work best because the background images are NOT responsive and stretch in and out depending on the monitor size. A 1920 x 1000-pixels image is a good starting point; and view it on both mobile and desktop monitors and make any size adjustments as needed.

Mobile-Only Background Image Specs: If you have the type of game that players will only be on mobile phones to play and want a photo to display realistically, you can try a background image that is 1080 x 1920 pixels.

This is the breakdown:

1. “Scratch & Win” Template:

This will just display “WINNER.”

2. “Scratch & Win + Opt-in” Template:

This will just display “WINNER.”

3. For both “Scratch & Win + Prize Claim” and “Scratch & Win + Opt-in + Prize Claim“ Templates:

“WINNER” – Player won the prize but has not clicked on the button to CLAIM PRIZE.

“CLAIM PENDING” Player clicked on the CLAIM PRIZE button but has not filled the claim form yet.

“CLAIM SUBMITTED” Player filled the CLAIM FORM and now the decision is Pending from the CAMPAIGN OWNER. [This only applies when Claim Validation is set to “Manual”]

“CLAIM APPROVED” Claim has been APPROVED by the campaign owner.

“CLAIM REJECTED” Claim has been REJECTED by the campaign owner.

Yes, here they are here:  How to make scratch-offs – Make 5 Campaigns Free (priiize.com)

Yes, you can add prize images and prizes as text.

Make each prize image the same exact size and also the scratch-off patch that people scratch to reveal their prize. Prize images can be square, rectangular, or a dot. Just make them all the same exact size. A good size is 300 pixel wide.

Prize text can be set in any color or font size. It is limited to 14 characters per lines and includes two lines of text.

Priiize software sniffs players’ devices for their IP Addresses. It will block them from playing again if you set NEXT PLAY to any specified time like End of Day, One Week, One Month, Never Again, etc. If people play from a different device, the software cannot know if they are the same person. The same applies if their device has cookies turned off, in private mode, in a Wi-Fi environment, or playing from different browsers. The best practice to overcome these obstacles is to use the Scratch & Win + Opt-In + Prize Claim Template. The Opt-in form has systems to overcome these obstacles if you use the Opt-In Form with 1x-Use Access Codes or URL Parameters.

Another best practice is to set high-value prizes for manual approval. Each prize won will have its own unique Prize Claim Number and  Validation Number to download and keep for your records.

If your games are to be played in a public Wi-Fi environment and you have high-value prizes then it is highly recommended to use a template with the Opt-In form using only Facebook and Google, or 1x-Use Access codes to play.

If you are holding an event with a mall, hall, or roomful of people take note. Priiize software sniffs the IP address on the device being played on.  In Wi-Fi environements, it will register as one IP address of the Wi-Fi. The uninteneded consesquence is people will be able to play multiple times in a row and win multiple times. If you are giving away coupons and special offers, this may not matter to you.  If your game is set to 1x play, once a day, or week, etc., the device being played on will bypass the block.

The same can happen if players have cookies turned off, or privacy turned on. If you use the Opt-In form with only Facebook and Google, or 1x-Use Access codes to play so they cannot play multiple times in a row by accident or on purpose. 

Note: Adding any other fields on the Opt-In form other than what is recommended such as “Email”, “Phone Number,” or custom fields will not prevent people from playing multiple times.

When the number of any given number of prizes reaches zero, Priiize will not display that prize again unless, of course, if you replenish the number of prizes. Everything is in real time, so if you add or lower the number of a prize, it will instantly go live after you save.

When all prizes reach zero, and you still have people playing the game, they will see this message on screen, “Sorry, this prize has been won and reached its limit of winners.” 

The best practice is to monitor your campaign(s) prize quantities daily. Your options are either turning the game off, putting it on Pause or adding more prize allotments.

Chances are, if this should ever happen, you are running a game that people love and are really engaging with!

Yes, you can give out multiple scratch-off cards to a person to play.  It is no different than having someone play multiple paper scratch-off tickets.

Best method:

1. Use 1x Use Access Code. Give out one code to play one-time or multiple access codes to play multiple times.

Yes, click the “Duplicate” button. It will only work for plans with more than one campaign. You can’t change to a different campaign template. You can only duplicate the same template.

Yes, you can delete a campaign by clicking the trash can icon.

If your plan only comes with one campaign you can write-over a Campaign you wish not to use anymore.

If your plan comes with multiple campaigns you can delete any and replace them with a new campaign.

If you need to add more campaigns then select a plan that offers additional campaigns.

Yes, you can change your template but will have to rebuild the game on the other template by adding a new campaign.

If you don’t have enough campaigns you must delete one, and add a new campaign in its place.

If you are on a plan with only 1 campaign you will have to first delete the game and then add a campaign back in. At that time you select the different template you want to use.

Yes, you can set a start and end date for your campaign by selecting Live With Dates under Campaign Status in Step 4, but make sure your account is still active at the end date; otherwise, people cannot play if the account period has expired.

You can set an Expiration Date for coupons and prize claims for any plan that includes the Opt-In and or Prize Claim Form features. Ensure your account is still active at the end date; otherwise, people cannot play if the account period expires.

Priiize works on touchscreens as long as they are connected to the Internet. Basically a scratch-off campaign generates a URL to click on to play. You could have a button on the screen that is linked to the campaign to start the play and use the template with a prize claim form to gather the person’s name, address, phone, email, etc. and download that list as an Excel, CSV, or PDF doc if everyone is a winner. If you plan on having “Losers” then you should consider the template that has the Opt-In Form to collect their name and email address, mobile number so you have a record of everyone who has played whether they are a Winner of a Loser, and had the Prize Claim Form for the winners and you would have all the bases covered. If you would like a free demo to go over the templates and system please arrange for it here https://priiize.com/request-a-free-demo at a convenient time for you and your team.

Yes, you can validate a prize on any plan that has the Prize Claim Form. You can also decline a prize claims.

The Opt-in form can be set in the following ways:

1. You can turn each of the Facebook and Google opt-ins on or off.
2. You can have the Email form on.
3. You can add a custom field for a phone number.
4. At least one of the three fields listed above must be turned on. Do not repurpose this in any other way.
5. You can use the new Unique Access Codes feature, which is an excellent solution.
6. Opt-ins are also programmed to prevent people from playing with cookies turned off, thus being able to play your game multiple times to win prizes. This will also prevent fraud attempts to win multiple times.

IMPORTANT NOTE! – DO NOT put single or double quote marks or apostrophe marks in any Fill-in Fields descriptions or Additional Fields boxes. Browsers will read it as hypertext markup language and could make your game not display correctly, mainly if you use an Opt-in Form template.

QUESTION: I wish to run a Buy & Win Campaign with virtual scratch cards with different prizes, one BIG Prize, and the rest coupons. How does it work and what is the cost?

ANSWER

This is easy to set up in Priiize. If everyone will be a winner (like giving away coupons). It doesn’t cost any more to do.  We would recommend the virtual Scratch & Win + [Prize Claim] Form. With this plan you can manually manage winners Prize Claim Forms of the GRAND PRIZE and other high-value prizes and let the system auto-validate lower valued prizes like 10% off coupons.

You will be able to email winner validations from within the Priiize admin panel. Plus you will have all winners contact info to remarket to, and retain for your records. 

If you plan on not everyone is a winner with “Sorry, not a Winner” type of scratch-off cards then we recommend the Scratch-off Cards + [Opt-In to Play] + [Prize Claim Form].

With the “Opt-in To Play” feature, you capture everyone’s email address who has played because if someone gets a “Sorry, not a Winner” card then you won’t capture their email address as you would with Winning scratch-off prizes.

I recently did a 7-day free trial and would like to purchase a campaign, but it was giving me a warning box that I would lose the campaign I designed in the 7-day free trial. Is there any way to keep my campaign saved and add it to the purchased campaign so I don’t lose all of my work?

Yes, you can but you will need to know the number of campaigns purchased cannot be greater than you have on the free trial.

EXAMPLE #1: If you are buying a 1-Campaign Plan, delete all campaigns except the one you want and the one you want to use will still be there after your purchase goes through.

EXAMPLE #2: You want to buy the 3-Campaign Plan but still have 5 Campaigns on the free trial. You would delete 2 Campaigns and the remaining 3 Campaigns will still be saved after purchase.
