Selection of Winner
A random draw will be conducted by an automated computer system on March 12th, 2020 (the “Draw Date”) at 11:00 PM +08:00 GMT, amongst all eligible entries received.
Odds of being selected for a Prize depends on the total number of eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period.
The selected entrant will be contacted either by email, SMS, or push notification on the Platform (each a “Notice”) immediately upon the conclusion of the draw. You agree that you will be solely responsible for any costs you incur in connection with Notices you receive.
If the selected entrant cannot be contacted within 24 hours of the results of the draw, or if a selected entrant or winner has been disqualified under section 5.9 or 8.9, his/her entry will be disqualified and another eligible entrant will be randomly selected from the remaining eligible entries and the process above will be repeated until such time as contact is made with a selected entrant or there are no more eligible entrants. By entering the Sweepstakes, you agree that the Sponsor, Administrator, and PLAYR.gg are not responsible for: (a) lost, undeliverable, rejected, illegible, corrupted, misappropriated, or misdirected Notices; (b) telecommunication or electrical malfunctions, unavailability, degradation, failures, or errors; (c) incorrectly collected information; or (d) human interference.
Prior to being declared a winner, if the selected entrant is a resident of Canada, they must first correctly answer without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical, electrical, or otherwise, a mathematical skill-testing question posed to the selected entrant by the Sponsor or Administrator within five minutes after being notified that he or she is the selected entrant. In the event that the selected entrant incorrectly answers the mathematical skill-testing question, he/she will be disqualified and another eligible entrant will be randomly selected and the above process will be repeated until such time as there is one confirmed Prize winner for each Prize or no more eligible entries are available.
Subject to section 5.5, an eligible entrant who has been selected pursuant to the random draw who has not been disqualified is a winner.
The winner agrees that the Sponsor may quit and/or eject the winner from their Twitch or Mixer stream if, in the reasonable opinion of the Sponsor, the winner: (a) has violated these Official Sweepstakes Rules or the Platform’s Terms of Use; or (b) is acting in an offensive, abusive, obnoxious, racist, sexist, harassing, or belligerent manner, causing a disturbance, or otherwise negatively affecting the goodwill or reputation of Sponsor, Administrator, Twitch, Mixer, or PLAYR.gg. In such a circumstance, the winner is disqualified from the Sweepstakes and their Prize will be forfeited without any recourse or refund. In such a circumstance, the Sponsor or Administrator is not under any obligation to hold an additional random draw for another winner.
If the Social Media Account (or other applicable user account) associated with the winning entry is shared by more than one person, all such persons will be bound by these Official Sweepstakes Rules but only the authorized account holder of the Social Media Account (or other applicable user account) will be deemed the winner. If the Sponsor or Administrator is unable to determine which person is the authorized account holder of the Social Media Account (or other user account) associated with the winning entry, or if there is more than one authorized account holder of the Social Media Account, then the winner will be disqualified from the Sweepstakes and their Prize will be forfeited without any recourse or refund. In such a circumstance, the Sponsor or Administrator is not under any obligation to hold an additional random draw for another winner.
The Sponsor or Administrator may disqualify a selected entrant or winner from the Sweepstakes and their Prize will be forfeited without any recourse or refund if, in the arbitrary discretion of the Sponsor or Administrator, the Sponsor or Administrator is of the belief that:
the Social Media Account (or other applicable user account) associated with the winning entry was created for the sole purpose of entering the Sweepstakes;
the owner or control person of the Social Media Account (or other applicable user account) has entered the Sweepstakes with additional accounts; or
the winning entry was submitted through automated means.
If a person is disqualified under this Section, the process described in section 5.4 will occur.
