Limits and restrictions of participation
With Drimify, you have multiple options allowing you to limit and restrict who can access your game or module, when the participants can access it, and how many times they can play.
You can:
Limit participation to once per IP address: this option allows you to limit participation to one participation within a location or household with the same Wi-Fi or ethernet connection
Limit participation to once per email address: this option allows you to limit participation to one participation per email address
Limit participation to once per set time (every 12h, 24h, etc.): this option allows you to control at which intervals they can repeat their participation (for example, if you didn't want people to enter every day, but wanted to encourage them to come back the next day)
Limit entries to one entry per session: this option refers to issuing a session unique ID
Be careful to not limit participation to once per IP address if you're organising an event where everyone uses the same Wi-Fi network, because the IP address would therefore be the same for everyone, meaning only one person could play.
For customers with Drimify Premium, the option access control via unique ID allows you to predefine an exact list of people who will be able to access your Drimify game or interactive module.
This option can be useful if you create a game for:
Just your employees, if you did not wish for an external audience to have access
VIP customers, if you were delivering an exclusive experience
With this option, you can use different types of unique IDs:
Unique ID: like a unique code or registration number or a custom unique ID
Email: it can be specific email addresses, or all the email addresses belonging to a domain with the format *@domain.com
Username
Phone Number
You can find those options to limit and restrict participation in the settings creation step of your game or interactive module.
It is currently not possible to geographically restrict entries as entrants may use circumvention software such as a VPN to trick the system into thinking they are in the authorised country.
We recommend mentioning in the terms and conditions of your project the authorised countries or geographical areas, and specifying that entries outside this area will not be valid. You can then delete these entries from the list of participants available from the data collection area of your Drimify dashboard.
Limit entries and the number of plays
You can:
Limit participation to once per IP address: this option allows you to limit participation to one participation within a location or household with the same Wi-Fi or ethernet connection
Limit participation to once per email address: this option allows you to limit participation to one participation per email address
Limit participation to once per set time (every 12h, 24h, etc.): this option allows you to control at which intervals they can repeat their participation (for example, if you didn't want people to enter every day, but wanted to encourage them to come back the next day)

Participations limited to a unique ID
For customers with Drimify Premium, the option access control via unique ID allows you to predefine an exact list of people who will be able to access your Drimify game or interactive module.

Geo-localised limitation of participation
It is currently not possible to geographically restrict entries as entrants may use circumvention software such as a VPN to trick the system into thinking they are in the authorised country.
We recommend mentioning in the terms and conditions of your project the authorised countries or geographical areas, and specifying that entries outside this area will not be valid. You can then delete these entries from the list of participants available from the data collection area of your Drimify dashboard.
