Check in with the shop's QR
Every counter shows a rotating QR code — scanning it proves you were really there (no couch check-ins, no bots). The shop approves the visit and the stamp lands with a satisfying thunk.
The loop, start to finish
Scan. Stamp. Stack. Spend — or win it outright.
LootLocal is a QR stamp card that grew up: stamps carry points, points cut real bills, and the whole neighbourhood's loyalty fills community prize pools. Scroll the loop — the card on the right fills as you go.
Stamps become points — 1 point = 1 cent
Points are pegged to the shop's own currency: 100 points is €1.00 off in the euro zone. No mystery exchange rates, no expiring-tomorrow tricks — the wallet shows exactly what your habit is worth.
Spend up to 99% off — or win the discount
Spend points on shop offers, or let them ride: community pools fill from everyone's check-ins, and when a pool fills, a draw awards the reward to a recent visitor. Something is always paid — at least 1% — so a "win" is a real transaction, honestly priced.
THE DROP — and the trees
Network revenue (affiliate commissions, currency-bridge spreads) fills a public jackpot fund. When it's full, one recent shopper in the zone wins 77.7% off a flagship item — no purchase of entries, eligibility is just showing up. And 1.1% of every deal on the network plants trees, rounded up in the trees' favor.
The part nobody else publishes
The fund is real, and a machine proves it nightly.
Every prize we advertise is backed by a funded pool you can watch fill up inside the app. Every night at 03:15, an automated solvency check re-derives every balance from the append-only ledger and verifies the prize fund equals exactly what fed it. A failed check pages a human immediately.
That check is why we can print our numbers on a public website: 77.7% advertised, 78% granted — the rounding lands on the winner's side, every time.

Fair questions
Asked by skeptics, answered with mechanics
How do digital stamp cards work in LootLocal?
Every shop publishes a loyalty card with steps — visits, purchases, milestones. You scan the shop's QR code at the counter to prove you're there, the shop approves the step, and the stamp lands with points attached. All your cards from every shop live in one wallet.
What are points worth?
One point is one cent in the shop's own currency — 100 points is €1.00 of discount in the euro zone. Points never convert between currency zones and are never redeemable for cash; they only cut bills, by up to 99%.
Are the prize draws gambling?
No. They are promotional prize draws: entries come from verified loyalty activity — showing up — never from paying. Prizes are discounts, never cash, and every winning redemption still pays at least 1% of the price. THE DROP is funded entirely by company revenue and there is no purchase of entries.
What happens to points I redeem but don't use?
Redeeming an offer escrows your points behind a counter code. If you don't use the code before it expires, the escrow refunds itself automatically — the full amount comes home to your wallet without you doing anything.
Do my points work when I travel?
Yes — the Tourist Bridge lets you earn and spend across currency zones at an honest, published 5% conversion spread, and the spread feeds the community prize fund rather than our pockets. Your home wallet stays your home wallet.
