## In short

To grow a newsletter with SaTT, run a [Quest](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#quest) with an e-mail action: participants tick an explicit consent box and leave their address to earn [tickets](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#ticket). Only consented e-mails appear in your CSV export, every entrant is a verified account, and prizes go to winners of a [verifiable draw](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#verifiable-draw).

## Why do giveaway e-mail lists disappoint?

Classic giveaways collect many addresses, but a large share comes from duplicate or throwaway accounts, and some were gathered without clear consent. Those lists bounce, unsubscribe and expose you legally.

## How does a SaTT Quest collect better e-mails?

- **Consent by design**: the e-mail action has an explicit consent box; only consented addresses are in the CSV.
- **One person, one entry**: only [verified accounts](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#verified-account) can join, one SaTT account and one device each.
- **Fair prizes**: winners come from a public draw anyone can recompute.
- **More reasons to engage**: add a visit-URL action (a tracked redirect, verified automatically) and a daily check-in.

> **Warning:** SaTT does not see whether someone confirms the subscription on your own newsletter tool. Send the double opt-in from your tool and measure it there.

## Which actions and prizes should you use?

| Action | Verification | Suggested tickets |
| --- | --- | --- |
| E-mail with consent | Auto | 5 |
| Visit your signup page | Auto (tracked redirect) | 2 |
| Quiz about your product | Auto (one try) | 3 |
| Daily check-in | Auto (once per UTC day) | 1 |

Prize example: a $200 dollar Quest with 10 winners of $17 each. The 15% fee ($30) is taken when the pool is funded and prizes must fit in the remaining $170.

## How do you set up the Quest?

1. **Create a Quest** — Open [Create a Quest](https://satt.com/create?kind=quest) and paste your newsletter page link.
2. **Add the e-mail action** — Keep or add the e-mail action and write one sentence on what subscribers will receive.
3. **Add supporting actions** — Add a visit-URL and a quiz action to reward real interest.
4. **Set prizes and duration** — Choose prize tiers and a duration of up to 30 days.
5. **Export the e-mails** — After the draw, download the CSV of consented e-mails from your Quest dashboard and import it into your newsletter tool.

## What should you avoid?

- Do not promise content you will not send; state the frequency.
- Do not import addresses without your own confirmation step if your local rules require it.
- Do not overweight the e-mail action so much that the draw becomes a pure list-building contest.

## Key takeaways

- The Quest e-mail action collects addresses only with explicit consent.
- Only verified accounts can enter, one account and one device each.
- SaTT does not track confirmations in your newsletter tool; measure them there.
- Quests last up to 30 days and pay prizes through a verifiable draw.

## Frequently asked questions

### Who can see the collected e-mails?

The Quest owner, through the CSV export, which contains only the addresses whose owners ticked the consent box.

### Can someone enter twice with two e-mail addresses?

No. Entries are tied to one verified SaTT account and one device, so a second address does not create a second entry.

### Can I run the Quest in dollars?

Yes. Quests exist in both editions. In dollars, the budget and the 15% fee are debited at creation and prizes are credited to winners’ balances.
