Free to Play
Reward based matchups
GYP matchups now support the ability to "payout" users with tenant specific Rewards when a matchup settles. When enabled, these matchups do not require money in order to create or accept.
These types of matchups are called "Free to Play", FTP for short. It allows tenants to provide a list of available Rewards for the active user to consume by participating in a GYP related matchup.
GYP supports FTP matchups as of July 2025. Previously only available for SYW matchups.
Technical Brief
LucraReward
LucraRewards are data models that contain information around the available reward the user can expect to attach to matchups and eventually claim once the matchup is completed.
The LucraReward data model will contain the following properties
RewardID - Tenant specific identifier
Title - Shown on selection and reward pill components
Descriptor - Details description of the reward's benefits
IconURL - Smaller icon to show alongside the reward pill components
BannerIconURL - Larger icon to show when viewing the reward options
Disclaimer - Any details to provide the user with when selecting the reward
Metadata - Nested details that can be passed into the reward payload to further identify the reward for the tenant
Lucra expects the client to provide the following:
A list of LucraRewards at runtime from the frontend tenant
These will be used for Creation purposes only
(#1 in flow above)
A backend webhook to notify the Tenant's backend that a user has participated (won/lost/tied) with a given LucraReward attached
This allows the tenant backend to confirm a user's ability to claim a given reward when the user eventually navigates to claim said Reward
(#3 in flow above)
The ability to claim a LucraReward once the matchup is in a completed state within the frontend tenant
This is a simple callback to navigate the user to view the details of the LucraReward passed in with the creation
(#2 in flow above)
