Data Collection

The Data Collection feature allows you to collect first-party data from players. This includes information such as email addresses, names, or other custom form fields.

The most important setting in this section is the Player Identifier, which determines how the game identifies individual players.

A unique identifier is required for features such as Winners & Prizes, leaderboards, and email prize distribution.

Add data collection to a game

  1. Open your game.
  2. Click + Add Settings in the left panel.
  3. Select Data Collection.
  4. Choose the Player Identifier.
  5. Add the data fields you want to collect.

You can also customize the form design, including the form title, terms text, and button labels.

 

Pre-game vs post-game data collection

You can collect player data either before the game starts or after a game round.

Pre-game data collectionPlayers must submit their information before they can start playing. This is the most reliable way to collect first-party data and is required for features that send emails.

Post-game data collectionPlayers can start playing immediately and are asked to submit their information after completing a game round. This approach lowers the barrier to entry and can increase participation.

Post-game forms can be triggered using the Challenge or Luck Based Wins features.

Browser

Identifies the player using a token stored in their browser.

If the player changes browser or clears their cache, a new identifier will be created.

Email

Identifies the player by the email address they submit before playing.

If the player enters a different email address, a new identifier will be created.

Mobile

Identifies the player by the mobile number they submit before playing.

If the mobile number changes, a new identifier will be created.

URL parameter (UUID)

Identifies the player using a value passed through the game URL.

Example:https://your-game-url.com?uuid={player-identifier}

This method is recommended for integrations.

For additional security, you can use Authenticated UUID, which requires a signed JWT (JSON Web Token) to verify the player.
