Ability to accumulate points or progress
The ability to accumulate points or progress in online scratchcards is a mechanic in which each draw affects a player's long-term performance. Instead of being limited to a single win or loss, the system records achievements, the number of cards played, the completion of tasks and gradually opens up additional advantages.
1. The essence of the mechanics of accumulation
Traditional scratch cards are an instant game, the result of which is determined at the moment the protective layer is erased. When progress mechanics are added, each ticket becomes part of a larger system where the results are summed up. A player can accumulate:
2. Main implementation formats
Linear progress bar - with the achievement of the final award after a certain number of games.
Multi-level system - Moving to the next level opens up access to exclusive topics or increased win ratios.
Tournament system - points are summed up to participate in leaderboards with cash or prize awards.
Seasonal events - progress accumulates for a limited time, after which it is reset to zero, creating an "urgency effect."
3. Impact on player motivation
Long-term goal - instead of a one-time game, the user seeks to complete progress or reach a level.
Increased engagement - Intermediate tasks keep your attention longer.
Sense of reward - even in the absence of a win, the player receives points or steps to the bonus.
4. Application examples
The platform charges 10 XP per ticket; on 1000 XP, the player receives 5 free cards.
When collecting all symbols of a certain topic (for example, 5 gold crowns), the user wins a fixed jackpot.
Daily point-accumulating missions provide access to valuable prize draws.
5. Technical requirements
Synchronize data between devices to save progress.
Integration with CRM for personalized bonuses.
Transparent visualization - displays the current points, level and remaining path to the award.
Conclusion:

- Loyalty points - which are converted into bonuses, freespins or real money.
