Step 4: Contest rewards

Contest Rewards let you trigger a Reward for players based on their leaderboard rank. Rewards can only be created within a Contest. Setting a Reward is optional. You can create multiple rewards in a Contest. 

To create a Reward, click Add and fill out the rewards information as in the screen example. 

To create a reward that will be issued to a player, you need to fill in the details. A player sees the reward Name and Description when they receive the reward. Other information like Rank, Value, Expires in, etc. configures the Reward.
