How the sweepstakes model runs on the platform
A sweepstakes brand sells Gold Coins for play and issues Sweeps Coins for promotional entries. Players also reach Sweeps Coins through the no-purchase routes your rules require. iPlaySkillz keeps both currencies, plus Bonus SC that is consumed first, on a single append-only ledger with a balance snapshot on every row. The same ledger carries game results, promotions, package purchases, redemption requests and their reversals, so finance, support and risk teams read one record instead of three.
Coins
Gold Coins as integers, Sweeps Coins to two decimals, Bonus SC spent before paid balance. Every row is scoped to one brand; balances never bleed between brands you run on the same console.
Entry
Sweeps Coins reach players through routes you configure: Gold Coin packages, promotions, daily rewards, missions and the alternative entry method your sweepstakes rules define. Entry rules are set per brand in the back office, not in code.
Redemption
Players request redemption; staff see KYC status, document review and a timeline in the same screen. Approve and dispatch, or reject with an atomic wallet refund. Scheduled integrity checks flag ledger discrepancies for review.
Control
Sweepstakes rules, redemption policy, terms and privacy pages live per brand and are yours to write with counsel. Geo rules, self-exclusion, account bans and single-session enforcement are enforced by the platform on every state-changing call.
Skill games and third-party content on the same wallet
Most sweepstakes platforms are slots aggregators with a wallet attached. iPlaySkillz starts from skill games: HTML5 titles that plug in through one bridge script, run on a seeded RNG and settle server-side exactly once. Third-party providers integrate through an isolated module with HMAC-verified, idempotent webhooks, so you can run skill titles and aggregated content side by side, on the same Gold Coin and Sweeps Coin balances.
What launching a sweepstakes brand looks like
- Create the brand in the console: identity, custom domain, theme, feature toggles and legal pages in an eight-step wizard.
- Point your domain; activation stays gated until the CNAME and TXT check passes and the checklist is complete.
- Configure the economy: packages, promotions, entry routes, redemption policy and geo rules per brand.
- Go live, then run retention rules, journeys, VIP tiers and tournaments from the same console.
iPlaySkillz provides tooling. Which markets you enter, your official sweepstakes rules and your KYC and anti-money-laundering policy are decisions you make with counsel; the platform gives your team the controls to run them.
