Bitcoin Forum

Hi everyone.
Maybe some of you have noticed that we are quite active on the forum, trying our best to offer bitcointalk gamblers interesting promotions.
We at MegaPari got used to a format of a lottery - we ask players to fulfill certain requirements and collect their IDs in order to pick winners for rewards.
First they were some bonus offerings, now we are also giving away "physical prizes" - a luxurious vacation or even a Lamborghini crossover. (details in our ANN thread, btw).
But here what concerns me - I think we need to move to a more engaging way of communicating with the audience while  running such campaigns.

Would you guys mind sharing you vision on the following:
-Do you personally take part in lotteries by online casinos?
-Do you track the progress and results of such campaigns?
-If so, are there any changes you would offer to make lotteries more exciting?

All in all, any discussion on the topic is welcome c:

sometimes i take part in online lotteries but usually i participate in physical lotteries more often. it is just a hobby of mine to take part whenever i have free tickets in the lotteries


not that much, not unless i personally bet my money like in physical lotteries (ours are just way too cheap so anyone can participate)



i think adding more cool stuffs like consolation prizes and other things like free tickets can be exchanged with something or if you ever purchase tickets you will get points in which you can exchange it into amazing prizes.

If you want me to be honest and give honest reply, I am a type of person that is not moved by bonuses, promotional offers and lotteries or anything free that is related to gambling, but I always think the type of person I am is not common. I remember the last gambling site that I registered, I was given 100% bonus and I did not use it because I forgot. A lot going on in my mind. Kind of weird but it is the truth. This got worse when I have been busying myself with work, unlike before though. But I noticed that there are plenty people that like all these type of things.

I actually not fan of lotteries particularly online casino as I know in my self that my chance on winning from it is very low and I don't want to waste time on something that I know that my chance of winning is low. Though I like the automatic raffle, for example I wager a certain amount and that would automatically get me 1 ticket and I will be automatically participated in the lottery in that way participants would be more interested in playing as first they are playing and at the same time they accumulating tickets whether they win or lose in the game they are playing with. Actually that strategy alone is exciting, you just need to inform the players so they are aware that there's such thing like that.

Maybe you can switch to more interesting ways to communicate with your members and attract more people to your casino. But other casinos might not follow your advice because they have their own strategy.

I rarely participate in online casinos' lotteries and only enter when I feel like it. And if I entered that lottery, I would be less actively tracking it and just waiting for the notification from the casino.

That's actually a common thing in the community - I don't think it's good or bad, people have different habits.

Depends on the prize set up by a casino. If they offer huge prizes to their lottery bettor then provably will take a chance to participate since many would try to test their luck if they can win a huge price on lottery.


Tracking the result to see who are the lucky forum user won on said lottery since curiosity will risen up if the identity will be disclosed. Although many want to unpublished there identity for security reason but atleast to see if the winner is legitimate person.


More consolation prizes so that many participants would be happy and would like to participate on next round again.

I only play the lottery on the freebitcoin site where I buy lottery tickets which are drawn every week, but have never bought or tried to play the lottery at other online casinos, but maybe if you see an interesting and big prize like Lambo or a luxury vacation there's nothing wrong with trying your luck for play the lottery.

Sometimes I also often track it on the freebitcoin site to see who won the lottery. because there also provide big prizes like Lambo and other big prizes, but actually I prefer it if the lottery winner announcement is held live so there is no cheating from the casino owner. that's why i never believed in the lottery

I do, from time to time and if joining it wouldn't be a hassle. I'm a casual gambler and don't really spend much money when gambling so a lottery that someone like me can join would be good.

I don't really track the progress but I do check the result once it comes out.

I saw someone mentioned adding a consolation prize so more participants can win, that would be a good idea to add.

I personally wouldn't care to partake in this sort of promotion. 10000 entries 1 winner or whatnot. I know that's not the exact numbers I'm just giving an example. I have not kept up with any lottery type promotion you have done but if they require a user to deposit and that users deposit has a playthrough before they can wd, I'd feel like i'm wasting time depositing when I can play elsewhere and just get rakeback or a daily surprise based on my play the day before.

anyone who knows lottery is aware that their chances of winning are very low. why freebitco has a lot of users until now? it's because they are offering chances to those who cannot afford to buy tickets like giving them weekly tickets or tickets from free spins/faucets. one more thing is that even if someone manages to buy 50% of the tickets, it is only chances since there is a possibility those tickets aren't winning tickets, and since most of it are not free, what will the user expect? of course you will receive bunch of complaints saying "this is rigged" or something along those lines. while giving tickets makes the chances of winning lower than before, bettors can still choose to spend money on other games since you guys are offering so many games as you have promoted initially. just think of the lottery as free perks while players focus on those games in which they can literally play.

I am not actually sure, maybe you should open a poll to know how many people are interested with the lotteries but personally I think the good way to engage with gamblers is through good promotions, actually a lot of promotions to be given to the users as that would keep them playing in the website if they know there's a lot of perks they can receive through promotion and seasonal promotion like Halloween, Christmas or if there's a major league you can have seasonal promotions to those and I think that's what players wanted rather than lottery.

To be frank with you, I personally do not bother about anything lotteries not only that, let me put it straight,  casino  give away packages do not really entice me as I have been designed to work to deriving my rewards and ends meet. Lotteries mostly have a million enteries for just a single bonus or wins then what is the possibility or tendency that one would be able to   scale through to be at the number spot after the lottery final stage of announcing the winner.

You see, when it comes to lottery the above is why I do not bother myself joining the cue so I do not get hurt with the hope of being the winner of the lottery when the results is being announced.

Lastly I do not bother looking into lottery tickets and all of lottery stuffs because the process does not seems clear to me so why bother myself with it when I do not take part in the exercise.

Personally I do participate with lotteries but not all the time as it would cost me some money instead of just placing it on the casino. Actually lottery is a good way to engage with the gamblers even in the physical casino a lottery is always there from small rewards to luxurious rewards. I think having that lottery and other good campaigns would really be attractive to gambling players.

Yes, I do track of the campaigns like leaderboards, winners of the lottery, etc. I think if you could have 100 lottery winners per day (no matter how big or small the winning amount) have a huge impact to the players. It's more like a raindrop in some gambling sites.

ya.ya.yo!

Yes

Yes


Make the lottery more transparent. Other casino like Duelbits use a livestream to draw the lucky winner using an random picker app. This way that everything happening is real time to make it transparent to all participants.

---

I think there’s nothing wrong to the new format of your giveaways. I think having a KYC free promotion will make the user here more engaged since most user preferred to play anonymously which other casino offered for a normal gambler that playing using a small bankroll.

Fan fact we do have such a promo now on. Good to hear that kind of mechanics appeals to you. If you are ever interested in participating, you may check it out  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5418423.msg61870240#msg61870240).

Any specific prizes or mechanics that you like at most?

Like bonus options? Freespins for example?  

Fair enough.

I'd say it depends on what it means to "engage" with your audience, if it was actively communicating with them through tourney-esque events, then yea lotteries can be one, but you shouldn't limit your engagements with only something like lotteries.

To answer the questions, yes I do sometimes whenever my sessions coincide with it or whenever I actually notice they're doing one. I usually just enjoy whatever they give me at the moment, I don't really actively chase it around or something so it's really whatever for me, I play if I can if I don't then that's that.

I guess those are a few samples of consolations you can add, but I'd suppose a lot would prefer withdrawable money instead since most bonuses and/or rewards are pretty much locked to us needing to spend it to the casino itself. Other than those maybe some kind of custom tourney tickets maybe? Might be a bit too complicated by then though.

Some people might find it's an interesting contest, but some people aren't, although they also have a chance if they have at least 1 ticket in their account. If you're offer them a luxurious vacation or a lambo as the prize, you also need to consider to add an option for the winner to get the prize in money, not in vacation or lambo. Some people don't want to get exposed if they're win it through gambling, it's a personal reason.

Yes, I've seen how active you are here in Bitcointalk and you know what it takes to be on top and you are ready for the challenge, one proof is your signature campaign and addressing issues when there's complaint.


This is a good initiative not all casinos can and will do what you're doing it's a clear sign that you are a
top-level casino and you are dedicated to building trust from your players

Would you guys mind sharing your vision on the following:
-Do you personally take part in lotteries by online casinos? : Sometimes I do when I am qualified to be part, based on my activity and rank
-Do you track the progress and results of such campaigns? : Yes of course if I am part of the lottery I should monitor the progress and the results
-If so, are there any changes you would offer to make lotteries more exciting?
Everything depends on the prizes, if you're offering vacation and hotel accommodation that's already a big attraction become part of the lotteries.

Well, we could say that lottery is more accessible to players both casual and actual gamblers. One reason is the fact that most of the lotteries are registered under government sector simply because it is taxed, therefore it is allowed to operate to some countries inspite of prohibition with gambling activities. I'd say the drive that a player would feel in lotteries could be a bdrige for them to be more thrilled with other gambling games. It won't be an instant addiction because that would depend solely to the player whether he/she would be too dragged with the idea of earning money easily and in an instant.In terms of making a player stay on a certain gambling platform, it won't depend alone with bonuses and promotions. Other factors would also be considered by players to continue playing and not to stop in an instant. To name a few is overall gambling experience which could be in form of games being offered. Ofcourse anyone would bore out playing one gambling game only.

I don't mind joining when I see one but the terms and the requirements has to be user friendly. There are lotteries that ask a lot before anyone could join and that just pushes people away.


I don't usually do this since I know the chances of winning are too low but it's a different story if I paid for the lottery ticket and the prize is too big to ignore. Participants would probably appreciate it if organizers have an effective way of informing the winners.

Maybe if you could find a way to balance the interest of participants and organizers. Increase the odds of winning while making sure that you have enough participants.

I have never bought online lottery ticket from any online casino but I really like playing the lottery. Although some people dislike online lottery because they have doubts whether they really select lottery winners correctly or not? It would be better if you share the lottery details or put the link here to read. After knowing your lottery program details if I feel good then I can participate. I don't like your way of giving physical rewards. Because winning such an award is often difficult and complicated to accept. I will give more priority to crypto rewards than physical rewards in lottery.

It depends, but overall yes, we participate in the lottery that is provided or offered by the online crypto casino that is here, what is certain is that we also see the level of complexity and ease of guessing the lottery that is offered.
However, if you have the best idea for a lucky draw, we wouldn't mind trying to participate and try luck.

Not keeping track, but sometimes the lottery campaign is boring, what's more a few times the unlucky guess, but it's fun and fun.

Simple, reasonable and easy to analyze and predict, the lottery provided, not too wordy, give an easy lottery draw.

These kind of promises, bonuses and freebies have been fascinating to attract lottery players, so if you ask me I would say this is synonymous with lottery companies because it has been the magic for the business. While I was younger, I always heard of these kind of gift promises but whether the promises were met, is another kettle of fish. This is a winning magic for lottery businesses, so I advise if you keep to such promises and redeem it to at least few people that are not family relations, friends or cronies then at the next phase you can be sure to get huge traffic on your ticket.

To add to what can be done to attract more lottery players, you can give random tickets free to interested players who can't afford just like freebitco.

In real life, I have also withnessed some lottery companies having a whole lot of conditions on the winning prices but never disclosed them or revealed them to interested players or public. They hid such conditions from people but only to reveal such when a winner emerges making the winner not to have a choice than to accept those conditions. For example like cars won may not be driven on a particular day, time etc, will be driven with the company's logo and design all through to a certain year, meaning the winner don't have to repaint the car. So I hope you have lesser conditions for your Lambo  ;D

Another suggestion is to provide consolidation to runner up or close "lossers"

Lottery is a good way to engage gamblers as they are about taking a chance and if it happens to be more realistic in redeeming of promises, the higher the number of players taking out there luck.

Lotteries are freebies OP, everyone will want to give it a short regardless of how attractive the lottery offers are or not.

I have participated in some online casino lotteries like on freebitco and I had no luck but I keep track of the whole game, and result, it is fun seeing other people getting lucky, I have no complaints about lotteries honestly.

People hardly believe in any online lotteries because it always look like the impossible, that's why I recommend showing proof that people really won on your platform, it will encourage the unbelievers.

No I rarely play lotteries and when I play them it's usually the state lottery in my country. When it comes to lotteries by online casinos I have no experience at all. For my taste the winning chances are too low, my grandfather played lottery every week for more than 30 years and never won anything big. Usually it needs a lot players to get a big jackpot, but with online lotteries I would expect there to be not so many gamblers. When it comes to state lotteries I only follow up on the mega jackpots and in which city the winner lives. As for online lotteries I don't really know where to follow up. Lotteries could be more fun if they don't focus so much on the big jackpots, because it's so unrealistic to win them.

Personally I do take part in lotteries by online casinos but I do not have any realistic expectations of winning, as sad as that sounds. I do not track the progress or results of those campaigns but sometimes I do remember and double check again. But thats a bit rare though.

As far as changes go to make the lotteries more exciting I guess I would advise holding separate campaigns which connect to the lottery. Mini games, mini prizes, anything that engages the community and makes the lottery more of an event instead of a gambling bet. Perhaps you could hold mini lotteries to promote the big lottery or something? Not sure how one would go about promoting a lottery in exotic ways...

Related to what you mentioned above, it seems that the bonus offer or physical prize is quite tempting for lottery lovers. but if I have to be honest, even once I never tried online lottery gambling. However, that doesn't mean I don't know it. because, I also have a little experience in betting on physical lottery. yes, just to try and get some sensational experience from lottery. even so, it's too difficult for us because the lottery prioritizes pure luck.

Well, I don't know, does our community have a lot of fans related to lottery.  maybe, many of us like to bet to buy lottery tickets. well, related to what you ask to make the lottery more interesting. preferably, you do it with a persuasive approach.  maybe, you will get what the lottery mania wants. but by the way as far as i'm concerned, most of us prefer to bet on sports, but it doesn't rule out there are many who like to bet on the lottery.

the lotteries that I have seen on gambling sites are really difficult to win because they involve a very large number of tickets / participants ... very complex or very expensive activities to participate in ...
even if I receive free tickets from my gambling activity, I never have an interest in verifying ...
the real odds of winning are so low ::)
I have not idea about changes that can be implemented, mostly because I have not so much interest in this kind of gambling.

Based on the gambling activity gamblers were allotted with tickets. These tickets were shuffled and the winners were chosen. Single whale gambler used to have hundreds and thousands of tickets as most of the platforms issue tickets for every $1000 wagered.

I prefer to join on lotteries that are conducted with limited participants. Some have been conducted on our forum with limited slots of 30 members. Each were allocated with the number between 1 and 30. Gamblers are allowed to pick number based on first come first served basis. I'm interested in such kind of lotteries than the regular ones.

I stopped any interest in these lotteries when I saw on a site some users who had bought/received more tickets than the final prize.
example, they had spent 2000 USD when the prize was ... 1000 USD!
maybe it was an user making some mistakes? I don't have the answer :) but always the main rule not change...dont trust, verify!

Lotteries are fun but I don't really engage more with this type of game, it's not my preference.

Yes, with curiosity about how it went and what's the result, it's really interesting to know and track the progress if it's possible.

I guess that free tickets are going to get a lot of customers on board with this. You know that whenever there are free and promos, there will be a lot of people going there quickly.

I am not very only lotteries, because my family has always had bad or unfulfilling experiences with them, they were the kind of "all or nothing" lotteries.
When comes to casinos, I do not mind if the casino offers free tickers according to the wager of the user, that is typical of the Stake method and also (if I recall correctly) on Freebitcoin, otherwise I would not be interested in paying for tickets to participate and track the progress and results.

If there is any changes I would put on the table: It would be nice to increase the odds for players into lotteries even for small prices, so people would not feel they are losing completely their time tracking the results and participating. It does not need to be a huge quantity of money, some small bonuses would further encourage people to continue participating.

The way you write is very alarming to be honest and I'm not sure I'd trust you with any highly sensitive identity documents. That you so flippantly refer to certain things, like "we ask players to fulfill certain requirements and collect their IDs in order to pick winners for rewards". Sure, you do KYC, but that's either a legal requirement where your company is based and should be kept entirely separate to your reward picking process. There are already well established lotteries that I would pick long before a random newcomer in the market. There is a huge leap between offering a luxury vacation and offering a top end Lamborghini vehicle. Do you even have real evidence that you own the latter prize or are you just trying to get people to pay for it all along while contributing little value to the process?

I want to guarantee win and risk.

If people are chasing a win, then they're not gonna to play "Lottery". It's only to tested a pure luck, until you discovery to cheat the lottery by buying a lot entry and the outcome result we already predicted more than we're spend.

So, people are not really into lottery due they know are only for luck test.

Personally not into lotteries.  I dabble in them occasionally but for free things from casinos I find it more a pain than anything.  Have to go to some desk to sign up only to never win anything.  Overall lotteries are an easy way for casinos or any group to reach a large amount of people.  So I guess overall it's good for them but as a consumer I'm disinterested in lotteries.

I'm not the type that will try to fulfill a requirement like wagering a specific amount just to qualify when it is not within my allocation it's gambling within your means, I never won on any online lotteries and I know I have very little chance of winning because of the huge number of participants, but you can still proceed or continue to do lotteries to try to increase players' activity and for them to wage more its a strategy casinos' are employing to increase their profit.
There will be people who want to win in lotteries and it depends on what your offering as a prize.

I am more inclined to play the lottery in our local casino physically. I have never tried online lotteries because I find them too risky. Instead of playing lotteries online, I'd rather play other games where I could apply skills and strategy.
Lottery has a huge risk but it's hard to track winners and game progress online than in physical casinos.
The chances only rely on a person's luck so it would be too hard to win the jackpot prize.

I am not used to keeping tabs on lotteries although I believe that they are a great way to keep the casino busy and it is generally fun for gamblers to engage in. No, I don't keep track of it because I don't usually engage in it. Sometimes it looks like a waste of my time but then again it suits some people and their preferences.

- As far as I can tell I do but not in online casinos rather some raffle draws for a cause on some forums and groups across social media.
- No, I don't.
- I'd say put it as lottery for a cause too especially the taxes you get from every draw, that would really mean to the charity and I think to the gamblers as well.

in my case I don't participate in lotteries, especially if we are talking about online lotteries, I'm the type of person who doesn't like lotteries because they depend on luck, so I would buy a lottery ticket, or maybe I would buy a lot of lottery tickets but because lottery is a game that involves luck and there are many people who bought a ticket, so the chances of me winning are very few that it is not worth spending money on buying lottery tickets, but something that I also cannot see are lottery winners online, in the real world the lottery winners are shown on tv, of course they censor the person's face, but in the case of online lotteries I don't see the winner



in the past I tried to follow it, but in the end I didn't see the winner of the lottery so I stopped following the results of the lotteries online, because each site can offer lotteries so it's very difficult to follow it on many sites, but I would really like to know if they offer it car, in case someone wins the car, why doesn't the casino show who won? in case someone wins the online lottery, why doesn't the casino show who won? I even started to think that the casino didn't show the winner because it was all a lie, there was no winner, it's all part of an act, I started to think like that and stopped believing in online lotteries

I have tried playing lotteries through online casinos a couple of times but when I wasn't convinced and satisfied with the results, I stopped playing it. I also realized that I was only betting each day without making any profit which I think is just a waste of time and money.
No, I don't track the progress but I'm always curious about the jackpot winner to see if they're honest and transparent. I think providing at least a consolation prize for some players would add more excitement to the game.

1. I dont like on engaging on lotteries considering that winning odds or chances are almost close to impossible, this is why it is something that not really that popular here on crypto space.
2.. I dont care at all, they are type of games or site who doesnt last up that much because interest and recognition is really that less.
3. There's no such way because there are lots of people who do tried out to make lotteries exciting but still ending up on failure and they didnt
really get that much users on which even nowadays we cant find one.

It depends on what kind of lotteries, if they are free to join then i'll most likely participate whenever I see them. If it's the regular lottery where you gain tickets by wagering a specific amount then i'll give it a try but I wouldn't participate regularly though.

I'd always track the progress, even though i'm unlikely to win one of the prizes it's still good to know how the results went down in the end.

If there's one change that i'd suggest with lotteries in order to make them more exciting then i'd put a limit on the tickets they can gather so that every participant has the same opportunity to win. For me, it becomes less exciting when the lottery is just filled with tickets from the high rollers.

I always thought that lotteries are thing of past so I tend to not be part of it for years. I generally looked without playing as how it is working etc. I think it's always good to return some amount of money you made through gambling operations. So physical holidays sound absolutely satisfying. I think its possible to make these more interesting. I think people who played with high odds should be awarded to promote sports betting. Also handing rare collectibles can be good through card game gambling.

actually not or may i say Never (though there are some raffles that i come across and joined but not lotteries)

but yeah I am willing to engage once I found a decent and generous as legit site to put my number combinations.

will be willing as you got my Interest in lottery .

Not for now , but willing to edit this once I started playing .

I'm not really a fan of online lotteries as I prefer other games that can give me chances to somehow win. But I am sometimes betting on physical lotteries especially if the jackpot is quite huge already.

Cheap ticket price so anyone can participate and give a consolation prizes (as others suggested already) so gamblers will not lose interest that easily and will try to bet again next time.

Well, I used to take part in lotteries only to try out my luck, but unfortunately, I could never really win a prize though it seems fun to me to take part and then wait for the results to come out. Mostly, it looks better if there aren't a lot of participants even if the prize isn't too big because that decreases your chances of winning badly.

And of course, I do track the progress of such things if I'm personally participating only to see how it's doing. I also believe that such campaigns can be a growth element, do you know Freebitco.in? The main reason why they got so popular was because they introduced a lottery on their website.

If I am to play in a new casino because of bonus or reward offers which attracted me there, and then I easily win at the first attempt and afterwards a KYC is demanded for me to claim my reward, I will be quite sceptical and concerned considering there can many other scam casino's opened just to obtain details from users.

I do not make lotteries my focus, so it does not affect my decision making in deciding a casino to play on

The only lotteries I try to take part as they are freaking difficult to win is the daily races at Stake casino,where the prize is 100.000 dollars or 50.000 or 75.000 it depends,it is all based on wagering requirements so people who gamble a lot are mostly the persons who win these lotteries but nevertheless even me with my small balance keep playing there,one time I ended 2357th and won 2 dollars  ;D.

For the lotteries you do at your site I think they need more promotion,how about running a signature here explicitly for your lotteries for one month so all the people in the forum know about your offerings,your lotteries and your bonuses and promotion that keep going,I think it won't hurt as I am assuming you have the budget to hold one month signature campaign since you are organizing all these promotions and lotteries.

everything that can bring winning (specially huge and of course like lottery that has tons of pot) will always attract players and depositors. but there are small community of lottery players here form forum (as this is what we can see in those site that also offers lottery)
but you can always add this for more choices to gamble.
most of the people I come to talk about this kind of gambling is boring and seems to be my grandma and grandfa game  ;D
but promoting with good advertisement may attract more potential bettor .

The only lotteries I participate are those that are organized by kids (to help them to raise money for something and to encourage their creativity) or the one that are organized at work, with a symbolic entry fee and are made to increase team spirit. Because they are fun, people dont give their last tshirt to win the jackpot, that dont raise gambling addiction. The standard lotteries are too much financialized. I get more emotions and excitement when placing a bet or spinning slots, than buying a ticket and waiting, because for me waiting kills :D

I'm not very much into lottery, just because. And I'm sure there are other people like me too who don't prefer it as a way to connect or interact. But personally, I think a good way wherein you can engage with the gamblers is through promotions, campaigns, and bonuses. Some people prefer this over lottery because they have the autonomy on what they will play. Since lottery is a game of luck, it won't sit well with others who prefer much more than that.

Perhaps you could create a poll first to determine the number of lottery players here in forum. By doing so, you'll determine whether there's a considerable population to ask from and to give feedback. Rewards could also come handy to attract more and more players through word of mouth, so you better compensate and provide quality service to your existing players for them to  do the promotion and advertisement of your site on their own will.

There are some things I see as a waste of time. For me to be among one of the thousands or million of people just seem like luck which I may not have. I am satisfied with the little amount I am using to gamble than to go for lottery. I do not believe in such luck.

This is a good suggestion, there is nothing better than having like 100% or more deposit bonus offer, having other promotional offers, having good deposit and excellent withdraw etc. These are what I look to in a casino that can attract me to register and join.

Hey. We do believe that apart from physical rewards we should offer small prizes for players who keep playing casino games or place bets for sports. Part-s of the Lambo lottery  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5418423.msg61870240#msg61870240) can get bonus prizes as well.

Since you are interested in crypto lotteries, maybe you will like our 50$ give away (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5445652.0)  here on Bitcointalk. Requirements are super easy and chances are high - only 5 part-s to get it started.

I wonder how to pick those who get a ticket for free? I mean, for example each 5 EUR of your deposit gives you a lottery ticket...in that case tickets are connected to deposits. But how do we get the database of those who want a ticket but can't afford it?

How? You mean to show that a winner really has got the prize?

Well, well, well! MegaPari, you're really stepping up your game with these swanky "physical prizes" and lavish vacays. Color me intrigued! Now, about your question, I'm a sucker for a solid online casino lottery. But, let's face it, peeps, there's something lacking when you're not surrounded by a crowd, collectively holding your breath for the grand draw.

So here's my pitch: let's host a live lottery shindig exclusively for Bitcointalkers! We could assemble in one digital place (online meeting or something more decentralized and private), maybe down a few bevvies, and witness the number-picking extravaganza. No need to unveil our true selves (I will choose to wear a horse mask, LOLL), but let's bond over the lottery thrill.

Naturally, we'll crave entertainment while anticipating the results. Clowns? Magicians? Nah, let's belt out tunes in a karaoke showdown!

MegaPari, a live Bitcointalkers lottery bash is the ticket. And if "Livin' on a Prayer" needs a legendary opener, I'm your guy!

I have never participated in a lottery by an online casino but I have participated in an offline casino but I have never won at all because I have to compete with many people.
I just kept track of when the lottery results were announced and did nothing but go to the offline casino to see the announcement.
Usually, the lottery prize will be given to 3 winners, maybe you can make it 5-10 people to attract more attention.
The prize can be in the form of money, free spins, or something else so that it will be even more attractive.
Or at the time of the prize draw, you can make it live so that there will be people watching it and I think it will be interesting to try.

Then you may be interested in our crypto giveaway (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5445652.0) here on the forum. Your chance for winning is 1 out of 5 :D

Yes.

No.
First, you could've added the link to your ANN thread about the lottery.

It's not easy to come up with a new style of making the lotteries more exciting. It's just a simple game. Perhaps adding some consolations would boost the number of gamblers that will join and they will also keep track of the results. I don't really check those things. I just wait for someone to inform me that I won something and that's when I will read it.
IMO, it's not about how big the jackpot is, it's also about how many can win the game to make it more inviting and how legitimate are the players who won it. It will not be fun if there are robots or alts that are winning them and the real players are the ones suffering.

I will not increase my deposit and my wager just to be part of the lottery, because I know that I am up against thousands of users although my chances are the same with other users, I still believe that it's really hard to win in lotteries, I don't have to put math when it comes to chances in lotteries.

I'm ok with lottery inclusion if I am qualified based on my usual deposit and wager, lotteries have been a way to attract new gamblers to increase their deposit and wager more if you will offer attractive prizes that's good, not all gamblers are attracted to lotteries but there's still a big number of players who are attracted and will participate on lotteries that their casinos are offering.

I've often seen the giveaway that you do on this forum, if I'm not mistaken, the last one is a prize of $50 with participants first making a deposit and play threre and each participant will be drawn.
It's a shame I'm not really interested in the lottery because winning it is not easy even though only compete with a small number of participants because everything really depends on luck.
Maybe you can change the type of prize to be just money, not cars or holiday tickets so that players will be more interested in participating in this giveaway.
Are lotteries really a good way to engage with gamblers? very possible Yes, because we can see that many casinos still hold lotteries either regularly every week or at certain moments, but how to get lottery tickets will be a consideration whether the lottery will get many players or not if it is difficult to get tickets due to high rules, players will very likely to ignore it join.

I think lottery is quite interesting and we don't have to lose anything if the requirement to eligible receive the ticket is after gamble for wager for each $500 as an example, some casino usually sell the ticket for $1/ticket, this is make me not interested.

My suggestion is when you want to announce the winner, it's better if you have a livestream during pick the winner. So anyone will know if the winner is picked randomly and not scripted due to lack of transparency.

I wouldn't say no, but I wouldn't easily say yes neither. I mean I wouldn't say no because you can definitely engage with gamblers and attract customers and freebitco.in has proven that time and time again every single week, and even once every 6 months for lambo as well.

However, if we are talking about a situation where is it good to just do that and nothing else? Of course not, the engagement from that alone would be minimal and nothing serious and it should not be your main marketing neither. You should be focusing on getting even more people with even more stuff, that could help you out a lot. I personally would add in a big tournament type of thing, or a challenge to get people gambling in order to get them used to the casino.

People are more likely to be attracted to buying lottery tickets if they can be cheap and they will buy in large quantities. That usually happens in casinos or other places that provide lottery tickets. People want to get prizes from the lottery, so they buy many tickets. After all, they don't use a lot of money to buy a lot of tickets.

Using live streaming when selecting winners will make many lottery gamblers not want to miss watching it. They will be enthusiastic about watching the show and hoping they can win.

to be honest, I don't really like betting on the lottery, only a few times I bet on the lottery and it's a waste of time for me because the chances of winning the lottery are very small to get. IMO
tracking progress results is just a waste of time for me and prefer to bet on other types of games to entertain myself in my spare time.
In my opinion, the lottery will be more interesting if when you want to take the winning players, it is done transparently so that gamblers can see firsthand the results of the numbers that will come out at that moment. for me, that's the best.

to be sure, I am not one of those who like to bet on the lottery and I also very rarely use any promotions from casinos, except when I really have a lot to do with the terms of these promotions.

Noted. Maybe we also should make a livestream for our Lambo lottery...

Till that moment it seems that the audience's appeal to lotteries is 50/50

Also people are attracted when they saw a lot of winners announced especially livestream with that they'll think your lottery are not rigged and actually picked randomly. I agree with the too much cheap amount of ticket since customer might think with that worth of ticket it might decrease the probability they'll win the lottery. Here in my country lottery is not that recognized since few people only win, but with least probability of winning could also give gamblers to challenge themselves, of course it's hard to win for the prize will be bigger with millions. I suggest to attract people with big time prizes then follow by consolation prizes with small prizes for them to think they are not lost since they'd still received prizes.

Yes, by making a lambo lottery livestreaming and when choosing a winner, it can give gamblers a growing sense of trust so that gamblers can state that everything is fair or transparent.
But can this idea be carried out and implemented considering that casinos must have their own way and fulfilling the wishes of every gambler is not easy.
If it can be done, I really agree and appreciate this development so that in the future there will be no more debates between gamblers because of casino transparency issues.
But so far, whatever is being developed by the casino as long as it is for convenience and gives satisfaction to gamblers, I will always support and be happy to hear about it.

Hmm, I haven't try playing lottery online, but if there's something that may catch my attention and interest maybe the winning prizes. We all know that in lottery you can earn money and it went high when there's no bettor on that digits, but can we make it more happier by giving away some cars, houses, gold maybe that could be good? I don't know what your physical prizes will be, but the more it will be big and good for future invest then many will come.

It's also good to have other parties auditing the result of the lottery during live, with this the bettors can assure the fairness of the result.
I'm not into lottery but if I find this more interesting, then I think its worth to try. You just have to input every details and be clear with the terms and conditions so the bettor will not be confused and will not complain about the system of this site. Good luck on this project, looking forward for other updates.

I think audit is the perfect solution for online lotteries. By using a trustful software to pick the winner, plus displaying the draw in real time through a live transmission, I think many gamblers who are hopeless and doubtful about online lottery may consider start betting on it once again. If this casino achieves doing this, like they said, other casinos may adopt the same idea on their businesses as well.

Transparency is a very important factor, which can boost gamblers' will and interest for a game in particular exponentially.

To have it easier see the results, make this thread as a poll or add a poll on it. And that's gonna show how many really are interested about lotteries and things related to it.

You can also have that conversation in your main thread to see if gamblers are truly interested with that game and if it's going to bring significant gain and impact to your game choices.

Besides that, you can also add that in your website that whenever a user logs in back to your casino, there will be a pop up like a questionnaire for the poll.

I never take part in lotteries. Free raffles, sure, but lotteries - nope. When you gamble the odds are usually not in your favor, but when you play the lottery it's these negative odds times a thousand.
For me the only thing that would make them more exciting would be much higher chance of getting anything, but then why would I choose to play it if there's slots and dice that allow you to choose both the stake and the odds?

From my experience it's the poor people who play lotteries all the time. I know a guy who's a poor drunkard who's always wasted and prefers a bottle to a decent meal at the same price. He always plays the lottery and when he wins something he spends it on vodka and more lottery tickets.

I agree, their sales will surely boost as it will attract a lot of customers if they will start using livestream when picking their winners and so that the customers will believe that there's indeed no glitch or cheat happening behind the scenes as in that scenario, it will be all transparent just like what the people wanted and lastly, there would be no questions at all because everyone is seeing what's happening. It's a win-win on both side because issues won't be surfacing.

This could be the best suggestion to have other parties working with the result, I’m sure other companies are into this kind of business with have a good trust rating. Live streaming the raffle draw might not be enough to lesses the trust issue if the bettor, if you are planning to do this for long term then start looking for this kind of services, having an auditor or someone in authority to witness every draw can be more trusted.

^For the first question, yes of course as always, and hoping to hit a big jackpot but of course, I set a limit. Just always bear in mind that gambling can be addictive and can lead to financial problems, so it's important to gamble responsibly and set limits on how much you spend.
For the second question, it often happens when I have time but some people may track the progress and results of lotteries to see if they have won or to analyze the odds of winning. Online casinos often publish the results of their lotteries for transparency purposes.
For the last one is that there are many ways to make lotteries more exciting. For example, online casinos could offer larger and more frequent prizes, or they could introduce additional games or features to the lottery to make it more interactive. Take note to ensure that the lottery is fair and that all participants have an equal chance of winning.

Live draws is something that is recommended but its true that it isnt something an assurance that it would be making more trustable if we do speak about those lottery companies or sites which we know
that results could be still rigged.This is why it isnt really that shocking that there are no lottery sites that do exist as of today excluding Freebitco of course since they arent that relying only on their lottery but rather also with their hi-lo  or dice games that been offering which they do able to sustain for this long. If the site would be only just focuses on lottery alone
then it would really hardly be able to survive this market.

That's bad for a business to focus on one particular game while your competitor have a lot of variety. So instead of focusing on one particular game much better to have more option to choose so that it can look appealing to their existing players and decide to stay and look for another game to play.

Lotteries are losing fame now maybe due to some results especially if its conducted by online platform but if the rewards is appealing then maybe many would try their luck.

lotteries are still attractive, if the rewards are attractive also. just look at freebitco, they've been running their lambo lottery contest for quite a while already, and it has been the talk of most freebitco players. also, it means, it is how the site is running such lottery contest. how trustworthy they are with their words.
but for a site to sustain the interest of their patrons, they should add other games as people can only allot so much time to lottery. afterwards, they want to play other games.

The gambling industry is big and to be successful it needs more things into consideration. Rather than focusing on lottery it is good to have focus on dice and further add more games to the platform. People look for instant results which isn't possible with lotteries. Another thing, almost every gambling platform have got lucky draws conducted at specific time interval.

Lotteries have ruined the life of lot many people. People have lost the trust on it, because we don't know what is happening behind. Technology things have got advanced, still manipulation is possible. Even now there are people who keep buying lottery tickets regularly. I've got a friend who used to travel 20km every weekend to buy lottery. Now this had become his routine.

I don't recommend partaking in lotteries since the chances of you winning anything are much lower than in traditional gambling. As far as I know you have the best odds playing a skill-based game, or a 50/50 game like when you bet or red/black playing roulette. Then it keeps going down in games like slots where you actually never know what you're going to roll, and reach a fraction of a percentage when you play the lottery.
If you ever get this drive to try your luck and play, think of 2 things.
1. If the prize is so big and they're still making money despite giving it away every week or every few weeks, how much players do they need to pay them to make it worth the time? If your ticket costs $5 and the prize is 5 million, there has to be over a million losers in every single game.
2. You're being lured in by very high prize and very low participation cost, which means you're being promised a lot for very little. Such deals never work in business and they will not work for you in gambling. When someone tells you If you give me $100 in bitcoin I'll give you 100k in 6 months, you think this must be a scam, but somehow people get caught by the very same deal when they buy lottery tickets.

Indeed!

Gamblers are naturally that too impatient or short tempered on which they dont really like to wait up for longer period of time on waiting for the results for them to know whether they have won or lose.
This is why its not really that shocking that lotteries arent really that getting much attention or recognition here on gambling field and most likely they would be less in existence due to lack of interest.
As been said where we do want those instant results which we cant see outcomes in a blink of an eye just like those dice games and crash ones which we know that it is been flooding the entire
market with having these types of games due to high interest and tending to get some considerable marketshare which it wouldnt really be that bad at all.

Here in India, private lotteries are banned and only those run by the central and state governments are allowed. And personally I don't take part in these lotteries (although I have tried my luck a few times in the past), because only a small fraction of the total revenues (~10% or even lower) is given out in the form of prize money. And also, all lottery winnings in India are subjected to 39% income tax, and there is an additional 10% cut known as "agent's commission". There is no logic in wasting your hard earned money in such games.

1.Stop collecting IDs of the lottery participants. ;D Perhaps this is the main way to get more people joining your lottery.
2.Personally I don't care about luxurious vacations or Lamborghinis. I would join a lottery, if the prize is just money(cryptocurrencies).
3.Ask the participants to share your lottery on social media, in exchange for more lottery tickets for free. This way you will get free advertising, more web traffic and more people joining the lottery. The viral effect is really important in online marketing nowadays.
I'm not sure whether or not some social media platforms would allow such promotions. :(

If India gave a large enough discount to the lottery winner, only a few gamblers would be willing to spend money and spend their time just betting on the lottery.
The lottery is a type of bet that is quite difficult to win because it has random output numbers and is arranged in several numbers so that to be able to predict and bet correctly on the lottery you only really rely on luck and it seems that the winning percentage in the lottery game is around 30% so it will be very detrimental if after winning it you have to pay deductions or taxes as applied by India.
It's better to play in a game that I think can be entertaining and provide a number of advantages.

this is a good suggestion, making a poll will get a good response from gamblers, apart from that promotional events on holidays will make gambling sites appear consistent and serious in keeping visitors

To be honest, the lottery is one that I like but sometimes I only enter the lottery when I'm confident / confident (not all the time), but if there was a lottery contest/event, that would be a great attraction for me personally ;D

Are you serious about that? How do you really think that someone can rig an online random number generator that is being used on a live stream? Do you mean that they will have pauses in the live stream and change the results or what? Because there is probably no way that I can think of which one can use to rig a lottery when it's being shown live and the winner is being chosen using an RNG.

And if we talk about lotteries in general, they are a good way to keep your customers engaged with the site, about the lottery at Freebitco, that was the main reason why they got so much exposure and got so famous, I know this because I was a user before they had lottery on the site.

Actually in India, most of the states doesn’t allow people to buy or sell of lottery tickets. So how you say India need to give discounts to lottery winner. If I was not wrong are you discussing about the price of Lottery. But while comparing to the winning amount, the ticket price will be 0.0001% of the price amount. And the taxes of the lottery ticket made by government at the time of withdrawal to bank. It’s around 30 percentage of money to government. Which not the acceptable one. People who are trading in India need to pay taxes for it. So totally government of India should not do such things. So with the rule book, government of India to allow the people to earn some crypto trading without any additional money.
