Playing Lucra is about having fun and fostering friendly competition. It’s a way to make new friends and reconnect with old ones, creating social connections and turning competitive moments into lasting moments. Lucra connects users on consumer platforms with others who share an interest in competition, enhancing their engagement with a platform they know and love.
Partnering with Lucra enables people to foster connections within a platform, turning fans to friends and individuals to teammates. Lucra doesn’t create the competition—instead, it creates shared experiences around the existing game at hand, allowing Lucra’s clients to engage with their users in a way that is familiar and fun. Whether it’s something you are watching or playing, Lucra creates a digital community by allowing people to compete with each other inside a platform they already know and trust.
All “Sports You Watch” contests on Lucra are contests of skill and (a) based predominantly on the skill of the user to predict the outcome of the event; (b) limited geographically to certain jurisdictions; and (c) subject to geolocation and age controls (i.e. 18+); (d) peer-to-peer with no involvement of any “house”; (e) contests that require multiple players participating in a real-world sporting event.
“Sports You Watch” contests take considerable skill to play and win because users must employ a combination of skills, including overall strategy, knowledge of the athletes, their opposition, and the potential matchups in the real-world sporting event (e.g., a potential mismatch or weak defensive player could lead to more points scored), analysis of likely strategies employed by coaches, players, and their tendencies (e.g., likelihood of high or low scoring games), in order to win a contest.
