What is a prize drop?

A prize drop gives a player a random prize from a list you set up, and shows it in a pop-up the moment it happens. There is nothing to play: the prize simply lands on the screen, for example after a deposit, a winning bet or a completed mission.

How is a prize drop different from a mini-game?

A mini-game is something the player chooses to play, like a wheel or a scratch card. A prize drop is something you give: a journey, a rule, a mission, a badge, a tournament or a store item hands it out, and the player only sees the result.

How are the odds decided?

Each prize has a number of items in stock. The chance of a prize is its stock compared with the stock of all prizes, so a prize with more items drops more often. A prize that runs out cannot drop until the stock is refilled.

What if the player is offline?

You choose. With "Give prize even if user did not see it" the prize is given at once and the pop-up appears when the player comes back. With "Give prize when user sees it" the prize counts only when the drop is shown.

Can a player say no to a prize?

Yes, with "Give prize only after manual claim". The design then shows Claim and Cancel. Claim gives the prize at once; Cancel keeps it in the player's prize history, where they can claim it later.

Can I limit how many drops a player gets?

Yes. The journey or automation rule that gives the drop sets the limit, for example one drop a day per player, and the stock and refill schedule cap the total budget of each prize.

How do I see what prize drops gave?

The prize drop's Winnings tab lists every prize given, and the Not claimed prizes tab shows prizes that are still waiting, ready to export or to use in a reminder campaign. The Mini Games report and the AI Data Analyst show how players behaved before and after.

Why a surprise beats a fixed reward

Players soon expect a fixed reward. A random one keeps them curious, and you still decide what it costs.

Variable rewardsPlayers never know what lands next. The moment stays exciting long after a fixed bonus has become routine.
Odds and budget in your handsEach prize has a stock, and the odds follow the stock. A refill schedule resets it every hour, day, week or month.
No game to playThe prize simply arrives. A drop fits where a game would get in the way: right after a deposit, a bet or a login.
Any triggerGive a drop from a journey, an automation rule, a mission, a badge, a tournament or a store item.

Live demo

Four prize drops. Try them.

Each button does what a player does in your casino or sportsbook. Smartico picks the prize on the server and shows it in that drop's own design.

Slot surprise

Design: Reels land on the prize
Trigger: A slot spin
Prize given: At once, even if not seen
Prizes

Any spin can drop a prize. About one spin in three wins; the others get a silent "no prize" that shows nothing.

Deposit treasure

Design: Treasure chest opens
Trigger: A deposit
Prize given: When the player sees it
Prizes

Every deposit opens the chest: points, gems, raffle tickets for the Grand Raffle, or a rare diamond.

Rare card

Design: Holographic card flip
Trigger: A winning bet
Prize given: Only after a manual claim
Prizes

The player chooses: Claim now, or Later. A prize kept for later waits in the prize history, next to the drops.

VIP vault

Design: Neon vault door
Trigger: A new VIP level
Prize given: When the player sees it
Prizes

Each prize has its own button. "Play now" opens a mini-game with the spins you won; "Spend gems" opens the store.

Demo prizes only: points, gems, diamonds, raffle tickets and game spins. Nothing here costs or pays real money.

Three ways to give the prize

Choose when the prize counts. You set it when you create the prize drop, and every design follows it: one button, or Claim and Cancel.

Classic

Prizes and odds you control

One prize drop holds as many prizes as you like. Each one has its own stock, texts and button.

Any rewardPoints, gems and diamonds, bonuses from your bonus engine, mini-game attempts, raffle tickets, missions, avatars, level upgrades and physical prizes.
Odds from stockThe more items a prize has in stock, the higher its chance. A prize that runs out cannot drop, so the budget never goes over.
Refill scheduleReset the stock every hour, day, week or month. The odds stay the same and the cost per period is known in advance.
Silent prizes"Don't show prize on the UI" gives a prize without a pop-up. A silent "no prize" makes a real win feel rare.
A button per prizeEach prize has its own name, picture, win message and button. The button can open a mini-game, the store or any page.
Every languageOne design serves every prize and language: the texts come from the prize drop and its prizes.

Six ways to give a drop

Automation rulesAn instant answer to an event, with a limit per player, for example one drop a day. All four demos above use a rule.
