An instant win game is a giveaway where each entrant finds out straight away whether they’ve won, instead of waiting for a draw at the end. You decide the prizes and the odds in advance (say, a 1 in 10 chance of a discount code), and the game reveals the result the moment someone enters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That instant answer is the appeal. People get a small thrill now, winners get their prize while they’re still on your site, and you can still run a grand prize draw at the end for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>How do instant win games work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every instant win game has the same three parts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. A prize pool.<\/strong> A fixed number of prizes, often discount codes, gift cards or small products.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. A way to decide who wins.<\/strong> Usually set odds (each entrant has a 1 in 20 chance), sometimes “everyone wins something”.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. A reveal.<\/strong> A spin of a wheel, a scratch card, a box to open, or simply a “You won!” message. In SweepWidget, the result appears as a card inside the giveaway: a prize card with a code, or a thank-you message. If you want a spin wheel, see when a spin wheel draw is fair<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    When the prizes run out, the game is over, or entrants can only win the grand prize from then on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/a>Instant win or a regular sweepstakes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
