Nera Competition
Engine Features

Automated draws remove operator workload on draw day entirely. Live draws create social content, audience engagement, and a trust signal that players actively share. Both are available from a single toggle in your dashboard.

Instant win mechanics keep players engaged between main draws. When players know they may win something immediately on entry, conversion rates improve and abandonment at checkout decreases.

Running multiple competitions simultaneously allows you to diversify prize offerings, test different price points, and keep your site active across the calendar without managing separate platforms for each.

Countdown deadlines create urgency that drives entry spikes in the final hours of a competition. Evergreen formats keep revenue flowing between time-limited campaigns. Both can run at the same time.

When your competition data flows into your CRM and analytics tools, you can make better decisions about prize selection, pricing, and audience targeting. Every entry becomes a data point that improves the next campaign.

Accepting entries in local currencies removes a conversion barrier for international players. Operators who open to non-UK audiences through multi-currency support consistently see an increase in total entry volume.

Abandoned cart sequences, draw reminder emails, and re-engagement campaigns all run automatically based on player behaviour. Operators who use automated triggers recover entries that would otherwise be lost.

Publicly publishing draw results builds credibility with prospective players who are deciding whether to trust your platform. It also satisfies the CAP Code Rule 8.28 obligation without requiring any manual work from your team.

Age gating, geo-restrictions, and per-competition entry limits protect you from regulatory exposure and platform payment disputes. These are configured per competition, not applied site-wide, giving you flexibility without risk.

Duplicate entry detection and payment fraud prevention protect your prize pool and your bottom line. Without these safeguards, a single coordinated entry attempt can distort your draw and trigger a payment processor review.

Auditable and transparent winner selection means your draw results can withstand scrutiny from players, regulators, and payment processors. Operators who can demonstrate fair play retain player trust and avoid costly disputes.

A correctly structured skill question is what separates a legal prize competition from an unlicensed lottery. The skill question verification built into the engine ensures your competitions are structured correctly before any entry is accepted.

Because draw execution and result publishing run server-side, draw day requires no operator input. You spend that time on your next campaign rather than managing a live process that carries reputational risk if anything goes wrong.

Consistent branding across every player touchpoint builds recognition and trust. When winner notifications, tickets, and receipts all carry your brand, players remember the experience and are more likely to return.

Live dashboards give you an accurate picture of where a competition is tracking at any point in its cycle. You can act on entry velocity, spot slow periods, and make informed decisions without waiting for an end-of-campaign report.

Managing competitions across multiple platforms creates operational risk and slows you down. A single dashboard for every competition, draw, entry, and transaction means your whole operation is visible and controllable from one place.

The majority of competition entries happen on mobile. A checkout built for mobile first, with Apple Pay and Google Pay as standard, removes the friction that causes players to abandon at the payment step.

Showing players how many tickets remain and how much time is left creates genuine urgency. Progress bars and countdown timers are among the most consistently effective tools for increasing entry volume in the final stages of a competition.

Players who receive their ticket numbers immediately feel confident the entry was processed correctly. Instant ticket delivery reduces support queries, increases trust, and gives players a reason to screenshot and share their entry.

A player account with full entry history, active tickets, and wallet balance gives players a reason to return to your site between competitions. Players with accounts enter more often and have a higher lifetime value than guest entrants.
