Contest Rules are station-based functional rules which are created as management tools when assigning winners to a contest. This tab is visible only to users with Promotions Director, Program Director or General Manager ability.
Contest Rules are found by hovering over your name in the upper right corner of your account and clicking on Settings - vPromo tab - Contest Rules.
There are several rule options available to choose from when creating contest rules in vPromotions.
- Age - Sets the minimum age for a contest. You can create 18+, 21+, etc.
- State Resident - Add any state residency rules that you may need.
- Wins per Contest - Number of times someone can win the same Contest
- Other - Used for attaching the text rules to a Contest to allow access to printed rules from the front desk
- Days Since Last Win (Firm/Station) - Blocks contestant from winning if they have won X days in the past (either cluster-wide or on that one station)
- Days Until Next Win (Firm/Station) - Blocks winner from winning again X days into the future (either cluster-wide or on that one station)
- Location Resident - Blocks winners who do not live within the Zip Codes listed
- Wins per Household - Attempts to block the number of days between wins within a single household (physical address)
