Lotteries - a popular form of gambling entertainment. In online casinos as well as on specialized sites, regularly held lotteries. Naturally, they differ from those that offer to participate in resources that specialize in this type of recreation. In online casinos lotteries are a kind of element of the bonus program. Below is information that will be useful to all fans of gambling, especially inexperienced.
Principle of work and types of lotteries in gambling establishments
Any such entertainment has a simple and understandable mechanism: participants are given tickets for certain actions, after which they are drawn, and the lucky ones win cash or other rewards. In virtual casinos, the general principles of lotteries are exactly the same, but with their own nuances. So, what are such entertainment in online clubs? Conventionally, they are divided into three types:
- For each registered visitor. Becoming a full member of the club, anyone can join the ongoing lottery after fulfilling a number of conditions (depending on the casino may vary).
- For VIP players. Only gamers with a certain status can participate in such lotteries. It must be high enough. To increase the level, you need to regularly play in the casino for money.
- Closed Events. In this case, only the "chosen ones" can become participants of the lottery. Usually, we are talking about high rollers. They receive personal invitations or tickets as part of mailings.
Lotteries can be categorized according to parameters and criteria. Among the main ones are the following:
- frequency of conduct;
- time of action (duration);
- prizes (rewards for winners);
- other parameters.
In some cases, the rewards to the top-ranked winners in the drawing prove to be quite valuable and lucrative.
How do I participate in the lottery?
Usually, tickets are issued for doing something. Most often, these are:
- In some clubs, you can get your first tickets immediately after registering and confirming your identity (verification).
- For making a deposit. The administration determines the amount, the transfer of which to the game account, allows you to get one ticket. If the player makes a more substantial amount, then the tickets, respectively, gets more.
- Tickets are also issued for a certain number or size of bets. It is not hard to guess: playing regularly for money, you can get more tickets.
- Buying tickets with your own funds. This is the standard option valid for all such events, not just online casinos.
- Exchanging tickets for compoints issued to the client of the gambling establishment as part of the loyalty program.
Usually, if a gamer has agreed to participate in the loyalty program and confirmed that he wants to join the competitors in the lottery, he receives the tickets automatically, immediately after he performs the actions stipulated by the rules. In case of force majeure and not receiving the tickets, you should contact the support operators.
Lottery winners
If the gambling establishment is honest, the winners are really determined in a fair way by means of a draw. Usually several participants become the winners. It is not necessarily that the winner with the most valuable reward is the owner of the maximum number of tickets. He can be in the middle of the list of participants, or at the end of it. Most often, the result of the lottery is published on the relevant page. In addition, winners are notified of their winnings by sending messages to the e-mail address specified during registration and/or informing about it in their personal cabinet.
Not only cash rewards, but also valuable prizes can be won. For example, a car. Naturally, it is likely to be problematic to get it if the player is in another jurisdiction, but there is always a possibility to take the money instead of the prize. The order of payments depends on the amount of winnings. In any case, the lucky players can always discuss it with the casino operator. Lastly, you should keep in mind that for players from some countries, participation in the lottery may be closed. This is due to the large number of bonus-hunters living in "forbidden" states.
