Unlimited Prizes

For prizes you can always fulfill:

• Select “Unlimited” quantity
• Typically used for digital codes
• No inventory tracking needed

What Happens When Depleted

When a limited prize runs out:

1. That prize is no longer winnable
2. Probabilities auto-adjust among remaining prizes
3. Notification appears in dashboard

:::tip[Planning] Set aside enough inventory for your expected campaign traffic. Better to have extras than run out mid-campaign. :::

Best Practices

Probability Balance

:::tip[Player Experience] Avoid too many “no prize” outcomes. Players should feel rewarded, even if with small prizes. :::

Recommended distribution:

• High-value prizes: 5-10%
• Medium prizes: 20-30%
• Low-value prizes: 30-40%
• No prize: 20-30%

Visual Appeal

• Use attractive images for each prize
• Show the prize wheel/capsules with prizes visible
• Make winning feel exciting

Clear Communication

• Display prize values clearly
• Show redemption instructions
• Include terms and conditions

Testing

Before launching:

1. Test the game multiple times
2. Verify all prize slots can be won
3. Confirm voucher codes display correctly
4. Test the claim/email flow

---

Troubleshooting

Player won but no code displayed

1. Check voucher set has available codes
2. Verify the link between prize and voucher set
3. Check for JavaScript errors in browser console

Probabilities seem wrong

• Verify totals equal 100%
• Run more tests (small samples can appear skewed)
• Check if any prizes are depleted (affecting distribution)

Prize not showing in game

1. Confirm prize is active (not disabled)
2. Check quantity isn’t zero
3. Verify game is published, not draft
