[Pick Lotto Scheduler]
We listened to your desires and made a new pick lotto scheduler. You can
now schedule each of your games to have an automated drawing whenever
you want. When you set up a schedule, you select to have it drawn on a
specific DATE, certain day of the week (IE Sunday), or DAILY! You also
enter the hour and minutes you would like the drawing to take place at.
Additionally, you can enter
in more than one drawing per pick lotto game. This is perfect if you want
to have a game that is drawn every hour. There is a schedule log so you
can see what you set up and if you change your mind or make a mistake,
you simply check items and delete with one click.
[Redemption Notice]
You now have the option to have the system email you any time a player
redeems a non-system coin prize that you setup. For example, if you have
a redemption prize of say $50 and a player redeems for it right now, you
will instantly get an email notifying you of such. This is great for those
that let their site run itself and just want to know when something major
happens that requires attention.
[Reminder System]
You can now set up Lotto Builder to remind players who have not played
in awhile to come on back and play! This is a great feature. You can set
up how many days to wait before reminding them, IE 14 days. You can customize
your reminder email. You can also set how many times to remind them before
giving up. For example, if you set it to 10 days and 3 maximum times then
it would remind them 3 times over a month then stop. If the player logs
in, it resets their reminder stats.
[New Email System]
We have updated Lotto Builder to include a new email system. This system
has been tested with a site sending 500,000 emails to players. You can
now email your players in HTML or TEXT! This gives you all the options
you need to email market to your players.
Additionally, you can set
up how many emails you want the email system to mail per send. This will
allow you to play and maximize your number based on your servers capabilities.
[System Options]
There is a new section in the admin called System Options. This is where
you enter your site name, email, function desires and so forth. It is
in simple question form and now you simply click the button to update
all your system settings. It even makes a backup of the old settings just
in case you make a mistake.
[Misc]
There was some various code tweaks to improve system performance for our
high-use clients and to keep the system progressing forward.
[Text Ad System]
- Added January 19, 2004
We just completed the new Text Ad system! You can now enter text ads like
you see on google. You enter the headline, body, click to url, advertiser
account if one, and number of clicks to deliver. Then you decide where
to call the text ads on your site. When you call them you can specify
headline color too!
[Promotion Wizard
Compatible] - Added January 19, 2004
Another super addition to Lotto Builder! You can now choose to use Promotion
Wizard on your ads. Promotion Wizard is your 24 hour advertising salesperson.
You can find more details on how this system works on the lotto
features page or at Lotto Webmasters.
[Odds Manager]
- Added January 20, 2004
The odds manager is another revolution on Lotto Builder. It works with
your Scratch Games system. As you may know, you can currently set your
own odds on a game such as 1 in 1000 (meaning there will be one winner
per 1000 plays) but now you can take it even farther. Now you can specify
how often you wish to give a prize out. For example, 1 prize per 30 days.
The odds manager then manages your game and automatically updates your
odds for you. It uses calculations based on various data to come up with
the current odds. You can choose Odds Manager on a game by game basis
also!
Here are a couple scenarios
on how Odds Manager can improve your bottom line. Let's say you have a
$100 prize. You have a budget that allows you to give away one per month.
Now, let's say you set your odds to 1 in 1000 because your play might
be low. Next thing you know, plays pick up and you are doing 200 plays
a day. Without odds manager, you would have about 6 winners costing you
$600. But now you can use Odds Manager. It will notice the increased play
and adjust the odds accordingly. Result? One winner for $100. Difference?
Savings of $500.
Odds Manager is more than
just a way to ensure you keep within budget though. You may want to make
sure you have say one winner per week on a game but you are not sure how
to set odds because plays might be varied per day. With Odds Manager,
no worries. Just set up the game to deliver one prize per 7 days and forget
it. Odd Manager will do the rest.
The above are features
we have COMPLETED for the new Lotto Builder version 6.5. We expect to
release this in the coming few days and there may be other modifications
done.
