Tasks and entries

What participants do to improve their odds.


Each task earns a number of entries (1 to 1000). The more entries a participant has, the better their odds in the draw. A task can be made mandatory: without it, no entry at all.

Automatically verified tasks

Bao checks these itself, with no human involvement:

Honour-system tasks

For everything that happens outside Discord: follow an account, subscribe to a channel, like a post, visit a link, or a custom task.

Bao recognises the platform automatically from the link you provide (TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, X, Instagram, Facebook, Discord, Reddit, Spotify, Telegram, Kick) and shows the matching icon.

Proof

An honour-system task can require proof, your choice of:

  • Timer: the participant must stay N seconds on the page before they can confirm. Discourages the reflex click.
  • Code: a code shown in your video or on your page, verified automatically.
  • Screenshot: the participant sends a capture, which goes to an audit channel where your team approves or rejects it with a button.

Entries are credited once per task per participant, even if the operation is replayed.

The task panel

The participant clicks Enter in the announcement, and receives a private panel listing their tasks, the ones already validated and the entries accumulated. The public channel is never cluttered.
