Instant Games are short, single-session rewards. Tournaments run over days with a leaderboard and bigger prizes at the top.

Choose Instant Games when you need volume and a fast path to a code. Choose Tournaments when you want repeat visits and competitive energy.

Practical steps

  • Acquisition or pack QR → Instant Games.
  • App re-engagement or loyalty seasons → Tournaments.
  • Keep Instant Game odds and inventory aligned to margin.
  • For Tournaments, publish clear rules and prize ladders upfront.
