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.

A Bitcoiner chooses. A slave obeys.
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?

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...

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.

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.

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  Grin

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.

-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.

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?
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

More consolation prizes so that many participants would be happy and would like to participate on next round again.
Like bonus options? Freespins for example? 
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.

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.
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 .

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.
Any specific prizes or mechanics that you like at most?

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

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.
Fair enough.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

-Do you track the progress and results of such campaigns?
I don't really track the progress but I do check the result once it comes out.

-If so, are there any changes you would offer to make lotteries more exciting?
I saw someone mentioned adding a consolation prize so more participants can win, that would be a good idea to add.
