Spin the wheel and scratch card games on your guest WiFi
On the Growth plan and above, guests play a spin-the-wheel game or a scratch card on the After connecting screen of your WiFi, or from a link you share. Every prize is one of your Rewards offers. The guest sees what they won, the prize goes to their email or phone, and staff redeem it at the till. You choose how often each guest can play and how many of each prize there are.

What is Guest Games?
Guest Games adds a spin-the-wheel game and a scratch card to your guest WiFi. Guests play on the After connecting screen or from a link you share. Each prize is one of your Rewards offers: the guest sees what they won, gets the code by email or text and redeems it at the till. You set limits per guest and per prize, and CaptiFi writes the terms and checks each venue's region. Growth plan and above.
CaptiFi is a guest WiFi marketing and captive portal platform for restaurants, bars, pubs, cafes, hotels, gyms, salons, retail and short-term rentals, built by CaptiFi Ltd in the UK and sold in GBP, USD, EUR, CAD, AUD and NZD to venues worldwide.

The Problem
A prize game that shows the winning code on the screen lets one screenshot be passed round a whole table. Without a limit on plays and prizes, a game can give away more than the venue meant to. Prize promotions also follow different rules in different places, and some prizes are not allowed at all in some of them, such as alcohol prizes in Scotland.
The CaptiFi Solution
CaptiFi pays every prize out through Rewards. You build a wheel or a scratch card from offers you already run, set how often each guest can play and how many of each prize there are, and the game appears on the After connecting screen and on a link you can share. The guest sees the result straight away; the code goes to their email or phone and is redeemed at the till like any other reward. CaptiFi writes the terms for each game, checks the region of each venue and blocks a prize where the law is clear.

The prize arrives by email or text
The guest sees straight away whether they won. A winner gets the prize by email or text, ready to redeem at the till. The code never appears on the game screen, so a screenshot of the result carries nothing anyone can redeem.

CaptiFi completely changed my business. Before, every guest was a one-time booking. Now I have a direct line to thousands of people who've stayed in the plane. I can offer them return deals, send updates about new features, and keep them engaged. My repeat booking rate went from almost zero to 35%. It's been incredible.
