Frequently Asked Questions

  • We are looking for something similar to Car/Prize Competition websites - can you help?

    Certainly! We have a turnkey solution that would be perfect for your business. Please get in touch and we will present you the options.

  • Does the image for the Spot the Ball game have to be football related?

    Absolutely not. You can use any image you wish. Tennis, golf, and badminton action shots are among the popular ones, too! Also, we can replace the "ball" icon (which appears when the user places the ball) with something more appropriate - e.g. a tennis ball.

  • Where can we source the image for our Spot The Ball game?

    It is extremely difficult to get decent images to use for competitions that hold Common License. All Premier League games are off limits and so are any non-league games where you will not have the rights of all people shown in the picture.

    For this reason, Tentacle Solutions exclusively contracts a professional photographer who hires professional athletes to perform exclusively for our photoshoot. The players, football ground, and the grounds played - all sign rights over to Tentacle and their clients for exclusive access.

  • We would like to discuss our project - what is the best way forward?

    Use the contact form below and let us know more about yourselves and your project. If we need more information we will contact you otherwise we will send you our latest infopack along with an invitation for us to demo our solution.

  • Can we run multiple games at a time?

    Absolutely. We offer a variety of licences, one of which allows you to run unlimited games at any time.

  • Do we have to give you our user details?

    No! We do not need any personal details from your users. Apart from sending us a unique id for each user to help our servers communicate, we do not need to know anything else.

  • How soon can our web developers start integrating?

    Immediately! As soon as we have agreed on the right licence for you, you and your Web Team will have access to all our APIs and help files.

  • How will our judges select the winning position?

    Once your game has ended, you will be able to generate links for your judges. The judges will be able to place one entry with the ability to undo their decision. Once they click "proceed" the screen will be locked and the winning positions stored in our database. From here, our state of the art software will initiate our unique algorithm to determine the winner.

  • How much does it cost?

    We offer 3 licences as we believe that not all competitions are the same. Therefore our solution will always fit your needs and requirements. Please contact us using the form below and we will send you our latest infopack along with an invitation for us to demo our solution.
