Are lotteries really a good way to engage with gamblers?

-Do you personally take part in lotteries by online casinos?

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.

-Do you track the progress and results of such campaigns?

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.

-If so, are there any changes you would offer to make lotteries more exciting?

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.

-Do you personally take part in lotteries by online casinos?

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.

-Do you track the progress and results of such campaigns?

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.

-If so, are there any changes you would offer to make lotteries more exciting?

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

First they were some bonus offerings, now we are also giving away "physical prizes" - a luxurious vacation or even a Lamborghini crossover.
 

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.

-If so, are there any changes you would offer to make lotteries more exciting?

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  

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.

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.

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.

-Do you track the progress and results of such campaigns?

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.

-If so, are there any changes you would offer to make lotteries more exciting?

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?

[ryzaadit]

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.

[wheelz1200]

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.

[robelneo]

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.

[virasisog]

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.
