Instant-Win Claim Page — Member View

When a member's instant-win moment hits, the platform sends them a link to a standalone game page they can open immediately. The page is deliberately lightweight — built for WhatsApp's in-app browser on older Android devices.

How it works​

After the platform decides the member has won (via the conversation flow or campaign mechanic), it issues a one-time signed token and sends them a URL of the form:

https://{your-domain}/g/{token}

The token carries everything the page needs to display the outcome: tenant, campaign, member, and the prize that was won. The page is framework-free — a single self-contained HTML document under 150 KB — so it loads fast even on a slow mobile connection.

What members see​

When the link is opened:

  1. The page loads in seconds.
  2. A short animation plays — a PopIt-style "tap to reveal" interaction.
  3. The prize is revealed with branding consistent with the campaign.
  4. The member sees how to claim (contact info, redemption code, next steps).

The outcome was decided server-side before the link was sent, so the animation is purely presentational. The page never re-contacts the backend to "ask if I won" — once the link loads, the game keeps working even if the network drops.

Limits and gotchas​

  • The token is single-use. Once a member opens the link, Redis flips a marker; refreshing or copy-pasting the URL into another tab shows an "already played" screen instead of the reveal. This is by design — it prevents anyone (member, screenshot recipient) from re-playing the link.
  • Tokens expire. If a member ignores the message for too long, the token becomes invalid and the page shows a friendly "this link has expired" notice (HTTP 410). The exact lifetime depends on campaign configuration.
  • The page is noindex, nofollow and X-Frame-Options: DENY — so prize links can't be scraped by search engines or embedded in other sites.
  • One claim per evidence. If the win came from a receipt upload, the same receipt cannot win again — its hash is checked before any new lottery runs.
  • No screen-sharing recovery. A friend who watches a screen-share of the reveal can't replay it. There is no "let me try that link too" path.

What happens after the reveal​

The reveal page ends with next-step instructions specific to the campaign:

  • A reservation that gives the member 24 hours (or 24 h after campaign end, whichever is later) to provide their delivery details.
  • A code to redeem in store / online.
  • A direct prize (digital voucher, points credit) — instantly applied to the member's account.

Whichever path applies is shown in plain language on the page itself.
