Scratch Card

The "Scratch Card" concept allows users to swipe their fingers on a scratch card within the app, which will reveal a chance at winning various prizes. These prizes might include discount vouchers or a designated number of points, serving as incentives for members to visit the venue and redeem their rewards. This strategy has the potential to boost the business's revenue, as members are encouraged to utilise their winnings and explore other services offered by the venue during the same visit.

Rules



Admins can set limits on how many times a game can be played. This helps control how many prizes a game can give out.

 

  • Total Plays (Max Plays): This is the maximum number of times the game can ever be played. Once this limit is reached, the game will no longer be available in the app. If this field is left empty, the game will have no max limit.
  • Daily Plays (Max Plays Per Day): This is the maximum number of times a game can be played in a single day by all members combined, not per individual member. If the daily play limit is reached, the app will display a countdown showing when members can play again on the next available day. The default for this field is 1.

 

Note: By default, each member is allowed to play the game once per day. After playing, the game will reset and become available again at 12:00 AM (midnight) if the schedule is set to “on permanently”, or at the designated start time on the following available day.
