Are lotteries really a good way to engage with gamblers?

[Slow death]

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

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

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

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

Would you guys mind sharing your 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?

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.

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

will be willing as you got my Interest in lottery .

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

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.

[Bananington]

we ask players to fulfill certain requirements and collect their IDs in order to pick winners for rewards.

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.

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

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

[swogerino]

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.

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  .

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.

[rodskee]

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  
but promoting with good advertisement may attract more potential bettor .

[TopTort777]

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

[AicecreaME]

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.

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.

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 can get bonus prizes as well.

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.

Since you are interested in crypto lotteries, maybe you will like our 50$ give away   here on Bitcointalk. Requirements are super easy and chances are high - only 5 part-s to get it started.

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.

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?

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.

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

[death69]

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!

[traderethereum]

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 here on the forum. Your chance for winning is 1 out of 5

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.
