In short
To grow a newsletter with SaTT, run a Quest with an e-mail action: participants tick an explicit consent box and leave their address to earn tickets. Only consented e-mails appear in your CSV export, every entrant is a verified account, and prizes go to winners of a 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 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.
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 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.
