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.
The “Games You Play” contests on Lucra are bona fide contests of skill in which the outcome of the activity is 1) entirely or primarily dependent upon the knowledge, ability, strength, speed or endurance of the participants, intelligence; and 2) subject to the control of the participants.
All “Games You Play” contests on Lucra are: (a) based on the physical or mental play of the actual participants in the contests; (b) limited geographically to certain jurisdictions; and (c) subject to geolocation and age controls (i.e. 18+).
No. Our peer-to-peer technology allows for users who are 18+ to compete with each other on the outcome of an activity in which they participate. In peer-to-peer, skill-based gaming, there is no playing against the “house,” removing the house advantage and instead focusing on the same starting conditions for all players who will compete against one another based on their physical or mental ability. Lucra is indifferent to the outcome of the result of the contest and does not receive an entry fee or rake on contests. Unlike sports betting, which is based on the performance of other participants, Lucra’s recreational, skill-based gaming product focuses on the active participation of users based on their physical or mental abilities.

An SDK, or Software Development Kit, is a set of tools, libraries, and documentation developers use to create software applications for specific platforms, frameworks, or programming languages. An SDK provides a convenient way for developers to interact with and utilize the capabilities of a specific system or platform without having to start from scratch.
Lucra’s SDK is currently available for iOS and Android (mobile-only) and is compatible with Swift, React Native, and UI Kits. Please contact team@lucrasports.com for Web solutions.
Yes, Lucra offers two types of integrations: (1) An API + our UI or (2) an API-only solution if you prefer to build the UI yourselves. Lucra’s API + UI integration will blend seamlessly into your app, as the UI is customized to your brand colors and themes.
A typical integration for Lucra’s out-of-the-box solutions is two weeks. For more custom solutions, Lucra works with partners to gather requirements and estimate a timeline. Lucra typically owns 80-90% of the upfront work before passing it to partners for integration.
