Simple yet customizable flow
- Your users earn entries. Choose actions and offer different entry rewards for each. For example, 1 entry per trade, 10 entries per qualifying referral.
- Every day, there's a draw. Winners are picked from entries by your users. For example, 5 winners chosen from a pool of entries.
- You announce the winners. Every day, your users win prizes from $100 up to $200K.
- We handle the winner. Verification at claim, tax forms, and payouts to your user directly.
What's an entry?
A free chance in the daily drawing. Users earn entries through actions you choose. Every entry has the same odds, and we offer a no-purchase entry route to meet sweepstakes regulations.
Prizes are funded by your budget, so it never costs your users anything. Your budget is prepaid and reported per draw, like an ad platform.
Two ways to get started
For growth marketers who want to experiment
We offer a hosted and branded page so you can go live in 1 day with no engineering work.
Upload a CSV with entries. Then, link to your custom page which covers the drawing, official rules, and lets each user view their entries and claimable winnings.
For consumer app teams who want higher retention and engagement
Our data APIs and LLM tooling let your engineers build this in 2 days. Teams have gone live over the weekend.
Submit entries to our API and we handle the drawing, and send payouts to you for distribution. Our data API gives you all the data you need to share with your users.
How the money flows
Prizerail is built on Megapot, a shared, pre-funded prize pool with a $200K headline prize that many brands contribute to daily (learn more). That's how every partner gets the huge headline prize without funding it.
Your budget buys your brand's daily positions in the pool. The pool pays out prizes every day, smaller prizes most days, but occasionally, the $200K headline prize. Those winnings become the prizes for winners drawn from your users.
Megapot provides the prize pool. Prizerail provides everything else. We're the operator of record, taking care of compliance such as official rules, free entry, winner verification, tax handling. We also make it easy for you to use, with a hosted branded page, an entries API, and analytics reporting.
Your page shows real, verified winners from day one — drawn from across the Prizerail network until your own winners take over.
