Performance, stability and long-term support - rolling out to every campaign type

What's Happening

We're in the middle of upgrading the engine behind all 50+ campaign types. Think of it as giving your campaigns fresh suspension and new tires: smoother rides for fans, easier handling for you:

This rollout (August - October 2025) is all about

• More stable, maintainable code
• Faster load speeds
• Compatibility with what's next (Offline campaigns + New campaign editor)

Check out the live rollout status below 👇

Big Updates #1
Entry forms at the beginning of Campaigns

Upon release, every campaign will now begin with an entry form upfront. Why? Because asking fans who they are before they dive in means:

• Cleaner data: Fewer half-finished entries that never tie back to a profile
• Consistency: Fans know exactly what to expect, whether they're playing trivia or building dream teams

We know: sometimes it feels smoother to "ask later". But upfront entry ensures you're capturing the data that powers everything else: segmentation, reporting and sponsor. ROI. If you're worried about drop-off, here are some workarounds:

1. Use Tradable Bits Auth on your campaign instead. One login = 6 months of session persistence, so fans don't have to re-enter details every time.
   
   
2. Keep the form as short as possible, being strategic about what you're asking for. 

Big Updates #2
Lineup Campaign has a fresh look

The classic carousel has retired. Say hello to deck-style cards.

Fans now swipe through a stack to lock in their picks. On mobile, it's faster, bolder and more aligned with today's swipe habits.

Why the switch?

• Mobile-first: smoother gestures

We know change takes adjusting - some of you loved the carousel. This is step one in evolving layouts, and your feedback will shape where we go next.

📅 Rollout Status

What's Changing?

 Each campaign type is getting upgraded under the hood, including:

• Entry forms come first
• Routing updates (e.g. tb_app replacing thank_you)
• Class name structure improvements
• More reliable state transitions between campaign views
• Small adjustments to UI

⚠️ If you've added custom JS, CSS or scripts to the thank you page of your campaign, please check the following for campaign-specific updates:

• You rely on page routes (like /thank_you/) for your custom JS/CSS
• You've added custom code for pixel fires on the thank you page
• You've written logic that assumes a full redirect

An example of impact: 

Before: your sweepstakes showed a separate "thank you" page (at /thank_you/) to fire a conversion pixel.

Now: the same "thank you" state appears within the same route (/tb_app), so any script tied to /thank_you/ won't fire unless updated.

What TBits is doing on every deploy

Behind the scenes, we're

1. Running QA for each campaign type
2. Reviewing the live campaigns with custom JS on deploy
3. Flagging edge-case issues to our Solutions Engineering team for fast handling

What you should do:

Most partners don't have to take any action. However, if you've deployed custom tracking, custom layouts, or specialized CSS/JS on your campaigns, here's your QA checklist:

✅ Load campaign and walk through it as a user
✅ Confirm expected styles and transitions
✅ Check if any custom scripts are firing correctly
