DreamTicket500 was created as a complete online platform for running skill-based luxury prize competitions with a maximum of 500 tickets per competition. Built from the ground up in Laravel, the platform combined competition management, customer accounts, payments, wallet functionality, referrals and live draws into one seamless digital experience.
Rather than adapting an off-the-shelf competition system, we developed the functionality around the business model – giving both customers and administrators a purpose-built platform capable of managing the complete competition lifecycle.

Running an online competition platform creates challenges that conventional eCommerce software isn't designed to solve. DreamTicket500 needed to manage limited competition availability, customer entries, payments, account balances, referrals and prize draws while giving customers a straightforward experience from discovering a prize through to entering the competition. The administration side was equally important. The business needed visibility and control over competitions and customers without relying on multiple disconnected systems or time-consuming manual processes.
We developed DreamTicket500 as a bespoke Laravel application, creating the core competition functionality specifically for the requirements of the business. Customers could browse available competitions, create an account and enter online, with the platform managing ticket availability and the customer journey through to confirmation. A wallet system allowed customers to maintain account credit for future competitions, while an integrated referral programme rewarded customers for introducing new players. The bespoke administration functionality brought competition creation, customer management, transactions and operational controls together behind the scenes. The platform also supported DreamTicket500's distinctive live draw format, creating an end-to-end system rather than relying on separate third-party competition software.
DreamTicket500 transformed a competition concept into a fully operational digital business. Instead of piecing together plugins and third-party systems, the bespoke Laravel platform provided one environment for managing competitions, customers, entries, payments, account credit, referrals and draws. The project demonstrates how custom development can turn a unique business model into a digital product without forcing the idea to fit the limitations of an off-the-shelf platform.
