Are lotteries really a good way to engage with gamblers?

[Strongkored]

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

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'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 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.

-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 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.

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?

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.

[livingfree]

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.
