Two sweepstakes launches for AI Universa, Slovenia's largest AI community, structured for EU promotional law, with prize tables that turned every launch window into an event.
AI Universa is Slovenia's largest AI community, with 1,700+ members building together every week. Launches for a community that engaged don't need attention from scratch; they need a reason for everyone to act now, in the same five-day window. That's exactly the job a legally structured sweepstakes does best.
A 15,000 EUR prize pool built as a table, not a single prize:
A brand-new Renault Clio 2026: one prize everyone in the market understands, photographs well, and gets talked about far beyond the community itself.
In Europe a promotion becomes illegal gambling when prize, chance, and payment combine. The campaign stays legal because entries ride along with a normally-priced purchase (never a surcharge), and a genuinely free entry route with equal odds exists and is disclosed.
Entries accompanied purchases at the normal price, with a free entry route published in the official rules. That structure keeps a purchase-linked sweepstakes on the right side of EU promotional law.
GDPR shaped the entry form itself: participation consent and marketing consent as two separate, unticked checkboxes, and winner publicity handled as opt-in. The full country-by-country breakdown is in our European sweepstakes law guide, and the ground rules for both the US and the EU are in our guide to running a legally compliant sweepstakes.
"One launch in Slovenia brought in $937,900 in just 5 days."
AI Universa · 5-day launch
Every asset (landing page, emails, community posts) led with the prizes and the five-day window. The countdown did the urgency; the free-entry disclosure did the compliance; the community did the distribution.
