Skill based competitions merchant account, payment acquiring 

Skill based competitions are like raffles but with a twist, players are asked a question. This is usually a general knowledge question, after this they make a payment and only find out the right answer once they have paid. Competitions usually last around a month and winners are randomly generated. 

Players can enter skill-based competitions 2 different ways; the most popular method is on the website. The other method is a postal entry where customers can send their entry to the merchant's address. Skill based competitions stand out because they are unique in the sense that there is an element of skill rather than just luck involved. Therefore, they have become popular because players have confidence in their own ability when it comes to the skill-based question.
