Daily rewards, tasks and challenges

Introduction

Daily rewards, challenges and challenges are a key retention tool in social casinos. They keep players from getting bored, encourage them to return every day and encourage them to microtransact. Next is a clear description of the mechanisms and practical details.

1. Daily Rewards (Daily Rewards)

Reset timer: most often 24 hours exactly at local time or at a fixed hour (for example, 00:00 UTC).
Basic scheme: Upon first entry, the player receives a fixed pool of chips (5,000-20,000).
Progress series: a bonus is added for each day in a row (on the 2nd day + 10%, on the 3rd + 20%, etc.), when skipped, the series is reset to zero.
Speed-up: option to give a real board ($0. 99–1. 99) for instantaneous timer reset without waiting.

2. Missions

  • 1. Make 20 spins in slot A.
  • 2. Play 5 hands in poker.
  • 3. View promotional video.
  • Reward: 10,000 to 200,000 chips plus special mini-lottery tickets
  • Deadline: 24-48 hours from the moment of activation; skipped jobs are canceled.
