The Problem

Why running contests manually is unsustainable

Spreadsheets, honor systems, and manual prize draws break down the moment volume scales.

Manual entry collection through forms and social media creates duplicate entries, missed submissions, and disputed results.
Fair winner selection requires audit trails and randomization that spreadsheets and manual picks cannot provide.
Contest fraud from bots, multi-accounting, and vote manipulation undermines credibility and exposes legal risk.
Prize fulfilment logistics, including code distribution, shipping, and winner notification, consume disproportionate team time.
Compliance requirements for sweepstakes (no purchase necessary, official rules, void-where-prohibited) vary by jurisdiction and are easy to get wrong.
Program design

How Bricqs solves it

Built-in capabilities that make sweepstakes & contests successful.

01

Automated Entry and Scoring

Entries are collected through game scores, quiz performance, referral counts, or simple registration. Scoring rules are transparent and enforced programmatically, eliminating disputes.

Zero scoring disputes across 10,000+ entries per contest
02

Real-Time Leaderboards

Live leaderboards with tie-breaking logic rank participants in real time. Participants can see their rank, the gap to the next position, and top performer scores. Redis-backed scoring ensures sub-second updates.

Leaderboard visibility increases repeat participation by 3.4x
03

Fraud Detection and Fair Play

Device fingerprinting, velocity checks, and suspicious pattern detection identify and flag fraudulent entries before they reach the leaderboard. Automatic disqualification and manual review options are both available.

99.7% of fraudulent entries caught before prize allocation
04

Automated Prize Allocation

When a contest ends, the system automatically allocates prizes by rank, distributes reward codes, and notifies winners. Budget caps, liability tracking, and audit logs ensure financial control.

Prize fulfilment completed within minutes of contest close, not days

Three steps to launch

From setup to live engagement in minutes.

01

Configure

Define contest rules: entry method (game score, quiz, referral, registration), scoring logic, duration, prize pool, and winner count.

Use a system template or build from scratch.

02

Compete

Participants enter through your campaign, website, or app. Scores update in real time on the leaderboard.

Daily and weekly snapshots maintain momentum throughout longer contests.

03

Award

At contest close, final rankings are computed, fraud checks run, and prizes are allocated by rank. Winners receive notification with their reward.

Full audit trail is generated.

Frequently asked questions

Can contests comply with sweepstakes regulations in different countries?

Bricqs provides configurable contest rules including no-purchase-necessary alternate entry, age gating, geographic restrictions, and official rules hosting. However, you should always consult local legal counsel for jurisdiction-specific compliance.

How does the leaderboard handle ties?

Tie-breaking is configurable. Options include earliest submission time, most consistent performance, highest single-round score, or random selection. The tie-breaking logic is transparent to participants and documented in contest rules.

Can a contest run for an entire season or year?

Yes. Long-running contests support rolling leaderboards with weekly or monthly prize allocations alongside a cumulative grand prize. Score snapshots preserve historical rankings, and lifecycle automation handles all phase transitions.

Why teams don't rebuild this twice

Under the hood, Bricqs runs a production-grade engagement infrastructure — so you don't have to build it.
