Use unique winning and losing codes

Import, protect, test, and manage one-time codes for an Instant Win promotion.

Unique codes can control access to an Instant Win attempt or predetermine whether a submitted code is a winner or non-winner.

  1. Add the Instant Win code field to the entry form.

  2. Prepare the winning-code file in the required import format.

  3. Prepare losing codes separately when your promotion requires them.

  4. Import the files and wait for processing to complete.

  5. Review counts, failures, and duplicates before launch.

  6. Test with dedicated test codes, not codes intended for customers.

Treat codes as credentials. Do not include real codes in screenshots, help articles, analytics examples, support messages, or public files. Control who can export or distribute them.

Tell participants where valid codes come from, whether a code may be used once, how long it remains valid, and what to do if it is unreadable. The distribution process must match the official rules.

An invalid, already-used, unavailable, winning, and losing code should each display a clear and accurate result. Never promise that a code is a winner before Revup has accepted and recorded the attempt.
