Contests: Types of Contests

CONTESTS

On MIXER, there are three primary types of Contests: Sweepstakes, Prize Pools and Auctions.

Sweepstakes is a form of contest in which both members and non-members can engage. Points are NOT used in Sweepstakes. Instead, users earn entries by any of the following engagement activities:

• Filling out a registration form or survey
• Submitting one or more keywords, either via the Microsite, the Member Profile Page, sms/text message, or some combination of all three.
• Checking-in to designated locations (this requires access to the device's location services.)

Prize Pools are similar to raffles. Prize Pools are for members only. Members can use earned points to "buy" one or more entries to win the item. The more entries they buy, the greater their odds of winning. Members can enter the Prize Pool via their Member Profile page.

Auctions on MIXER function in the traditional sense. They are for members only. Members can use their earned points to place bids on auction items. The Location or Organization Manager can determine the starting bid as well as maximum bid increments. Members can bid in auctions via their Member Profile page.
