02The mechanic

What makes this program different

A randomised reward with a very wide spread — a tenfold difference between the two outcomes — paid into an interest-bearing pot rather than a spendable balance. The lottery framing produces far more sharing per dollar than a flat payout of the same expected value.

03The design

Why it works

A wide random spread makes the reward feel like a prize rather than a rebate, which drives sharing behaviour disproportionately.

Paying into an interest-bearing pot keeps the money inside the product and introduces a second feature at the same time.

Golden-hour timing windows concentrate activity into periods MoMo can staff and measure.

04The takeaway

What to copy

  • A randomised reward can outperform a flat one of the same expected cost — but only if the spread is wide enough to feel like a prize.
  • Pay the reward into your stickiest surface, not into a withdrawable balance.
  • Check your local rules before running a lottery-style reward. Randomised prizes are regulated very differently across markets.
What we could not verify
  • MoMo has no permanent referral web page — momo.vn/gioi-thieu-ban-be returns 404 — so the only citable sources are dated campaign articles, which rot quickly.
