How do the prizes work with regular scratch card games?
Many of our customers start out thinking they want a unique code or reference number under every scratch panel. We can do that, but in our experience it’s rarely necessary. We have devised a couple of different prize structures which offer enormous versatility at minimum cost.
Option 1: 1 Card
1 single design
- You can use a single design for your scratch cards.
- This means that every prize within the batch will be exactly the same.
- To use this method and have multiple prizes you would have to place multiple orders, with a different artwork each time.
- The great thing about this option is that you can order a minimum 250 cards!
Option 2: 4 cards + 10 hotcards
4 x 250 + 10 ‘hot’ cards
You can choose 5 different prizes, and order in quantities of 1000 cards. For example: 1000, 2000, 3000, etc..
We’ll split those into 4 equal batches of 250 plus 10 extra ‘hot’ cards. Your 10 hot cards should be your biggest prize, for example:
- 250 x Sorry you didn’t win this time, please try again
- 250 x You Win! £25 off your next order
- 250 x You Win! £50 off your next order
- 250 x You Win! Free delivery on your next order
- 10 x You Win! £100 off your next order
Or you can choose each of the prizes – and you can duplicate categories if required, e.g.
- 250 x Sorry you didn’t win this time, please try again
- 250 x Sorry you didn’t win this time, please try again
- 250 x Sorry you didn’t win this time, please try again
- 250 x Sorry you didn’t win this time, please try again
- 10 x You Win! Weekend for two in Paris
Please note: This game option is available for our regular scratch card and super scratch card only.
Option 3: 5 Cards
5 x 250 scratch cards
Instead of 10 ‘hot’ cards’ we’ll give you 5 equal batches of 250 cards.
Each set of 1,250 cards can have an individual prize, or be the same, for example:
- 250 x Sorry you didn’t win this time, please try again
- 250 x You Win! £25 off your next order
- 250 x You Win! £50 off your next order
- 250 x You Win! Free delivery on your next order
- 250 x You Win! £100 off your next order.
Our quantities for this option increase in intervals of 1,250. E.g. 1,250, 2,500, 3750, etc..
Please note: This game option is available for our regular scratch card and super scratch card only.
But how will I know which is which when my scratch cards arrive?
If you've requested an order with multiple prizes your regular scratch card delivery will be packaged in small bundles and labelled with their prize category (eg A, B, C, D or E).
