Spin the Wheel Campaign

This guide walks through a complete example of setting up a Spin the Wheel game inside a stream with scheduled start and end dates — a common setup for time-limited promotions.

Scenario

You want to run a 7-day promotional campaign where customers can spin a prize wheel to win vouchers or discounts. The campaign should:

• Start on a specific date (e.g., June 1, 2026 at 9:00 AM)
• End on a specific date (e.g., June 7, 2026 at 11:59 PM)
• Allow each player only one spin
• Award prizes from a configured prize pool

Step 1: Create the Spin the Wheel Game

1. Go to your organization dashboard
2. Click Create Game
3. Select the Spin the Wheel template
4. Configure your wheel:
   • Add 3–10 prize slices (e.g., “10% Off”, “Free Shipping”, “Try Again”)
   • Upload custom images for each slice (optional)
   • Customize the wheel background, pointer, and center decoration
5. Set up prizes:
   • Assign a voucher, item, or external link to each winning slice
   • Use “No Prize” for losing slices
6. Publish the game

Tip

Spin the Wheel requires at least 3 prize slices and supports up to 10. Every slice must be linked to a prize configuration.

Step 2: Create a Stream

1. Navigate to Streams in the sidebar
2. Click Create Stream
3. Fill in the details:
   • Name: Summer Spin Promo
   • Description: Spin to win exclusive summer discounts

Step 3: Schedule the Stream

Set the campaign window so the stream is only playable during your promotion period:

1. Open the stream settings
2. Set the Start date to June 1, 2026 — 9:00 AM
3. Set the End date to June 7, 2026 — 11:59 PM
4. Select your timezone (e.g., Asia/Tokyo)

Before June 1, players who visit the stream link will see a countdown timer. After June 7, they will see a campaign ended message.

Step 4: Add the Game to the Stream

1. Open your stream
2. Click Add Games
3. Select the Spin the Wheel game you created in Step 1
4. Set Max plays per user to 1 (one spin per player)

Step 5: Configure Sharing

1. Copy the stream URL:

   https://app.dailyplay.ai/stream/org-slug/summer-spin-promo

2. Optionally:
   • Password-protect the stream for VIP access
   • Restrict domains if embedding on your website
   • Require session tokens if integrating with your app’s authentication

Step 6: Connect Webhooks (Optional)

To track results in your CRM or email platform:

1. Go to Connections and create a webhook connection
2. Attach the connection to your stream
3. Events like game.completed and prize.won will be sent to your endpoint

Example webhook payload for a prize win:

{
  "event": "prize.won",
  "stream_id": "abc-123",
  "game_id": "spin-wheel-456",
  "player": {
    "id": "player-789",
    "email": "player@example.com"
  },
  "prize": {
    "type": "voucher",
    "name": "10% Off Summer Sale",
    "code": "SUMMER10"
  },
  "timestamp": "2026-06-03T14:22:00Z"
}

Step 7: Go Live

1. Set the stream status to Scheduled (or Active if already past the start date)
2. Share the stream URL through your marketing channels:
   • Email newsletters
   • Social media posts
   • Website banners
   • QR codes on print materials

Timeline Summary

Date	What Happens
Before June 1	Players see a countdown timer
June 1, 9:00 AM	Stream goes live, players can spin the wheel
June 1–7	Campaign is active, prizes are awarded
June 7, 11:59 PM	Stream closes, no more spins allowed
After June 7	Players see a “campaign ended” message

Tips

• Test before launch — Use draft mode to test the full player experience before scheduling
• Monitor in real-time — Check stream analytics for play counts and completion rates during the campaign
• Set prize limits — If you have a limited number of vouchers, configure prize quantity limits to avoid over-distribution
• Use UTM parameters — Add utm_source, utm_medium, and utm_campaign to track which channels drive the most plays
