Lottery on the principles of the social network

Recently I heard a promotional call on TV: no need to collect any labels, register on the site, gather friends and win a prize (the wording is not exact, but the meaning is as follows). Something painfully familiar ... Registration on the site, the accumulation of friends?

At the opening of the tavern, and there is no place to gather friends without it, the commercial components of the action come into effect - to open an "institution" (= community creation), you need to enter 2 special codes from under the lids of the drink (and before, respectively, buy it).

Every two codes bring the owner 1 point. The more friends and activated codes - the higher the rating of the tavern. Every day during the term of the lottery among the most hospitable virtual beer (with the highest rating) is the draw of the main prize.

Using a mobile number (when participating in the promotion, some mandatory steps are made through the transfer of paid SMS), the organizers determine the uniqueness of the participant.

Russian marketers are increasingly using promotion in social networks (SMO) as a tool to stimulate the sale of goods. I wonder, really, how far will it go? Something seems to be already on the horizon: open a virtual sauna, gather friends, activate the special code from the soap package ...
