API Home Page :: Games and Awards

Summary

Redeem token and play the instant win game. If the token is valid, the result of this POST will be a win or non-winning message for the instant win game.

Win responses will contain a prize identifier in the awards node. Non-winning responses will not contain a prize identifier and have an empty awards node. The prize identifiers can be used with the fetch prize resource to find out more information on the prize (such as a description). This can be used to show the user a win or non-win scenario on the front-end.
