4.8  The Promoter reserves the right to disqualify an Entry if it has reasonable grounds for believing that an Entrant’s conduct might be contrary to the spirit or intention of the Competition, including conduct that might be abusive or racist or where an Entrant has posted, or is likely to post, defamatory comments on the Website or elsewhere on social media.

4.9 All Entries are final and no refunds will be made at any time, except for refunds made under Clause 5.8.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, all Entries become the Promoter’s property and will not be returned.

  1. Competition Judgement

5.1 Elite Competitions guaranteed 100% random ball machine will determine the winner of each Competition’s Prize (referred to as ‘Prize Winner(s)’). The number of Entrants for a Competition will determine how many balls are entered into the random ball spinning machine. Each Competition will have a minimum of nine (9) Entries and a maximum of 99,999 Entries. The result will be live streamed on YouTube (or such other live streamed internet channel as the Promoter chooses and states on the Website). In certain circumstances, at the discretion of the Promoter, an alternative verifiably random method of selecting a winning number may be used to select the Prize Winner.  

5.2 Due to the nature of the selection, there will only be one main Prize Winner per Competition, unless the Promoter states otherwise on the Website.  There may be some Credit Winners under the ‘Cover your Number and Letter’ feature described in Clause 4.13 above (Prize Winners and Credit Winners, together the ‘Winner(s)’).  There may also be some Instant Win Prize Winners (see 5.3 below).  The Promoter’s decision is final regarding any aspect of the Competition.

5.3 For all Instant Win Prizes in a Competition, the winning numbers will be randomly selected just before the Competition goes live and cannot be changed.  They will be encrypted on the database and kept hidden from all staff at the Promoter.

5.4 The Promoter will attempt to contact Winners of Competitions and Instant Win Prizes using the Contact Details provided at the time of Entry (or as subsequently updated) and held securely in our Database.  Entrants must carefully check their Contact Details have been recorded correctly.  It is the Entrant’s responsibility to ensure that these Contact Details are accurate, up to date and complete. If for any reason the Contact Details are taken down, inputted and/or submitted and/or recorded in any way by you incorrectly, the Promoter will not be held responsible for any consequences of this of whatever nature and howsoever arising.

5.5 If for any reason the Promoter is unable to contact a Prize Winner within five (5) working days (which may be extended at the sole discretion of the Promoter) of the end of a Competition, or the Prize Winner fails for whatever reason to confirm acceptance of the Prize and/or the Prize Winner is disqualified as a result of not complying with or contravening any of these Terms and Conditions, the Prize Winner hereby agrees that it will immediately, irrevocably and automatically forfeit the Prize and the Prize will remain in the possession and ownership of the Promoter.

5.6 Entrants who specifically consent to marketing communications will be entered onto the Promoter’s database for the purpose of conveying information as to the status of their Competition, as well as any future promotions or Competitions offered by the Promoter.

5.7 The Promoter will draw a Prize Winner for each Competition at the end of the Promotion Period stated on the Website for that Competition.  There will be no extensions to the Promotion Period and all prizes will be awarded in full regardless of the number of Entries for a Competition.   The Promoter may bring the draw date forward if the maximum number of Entries has been received. In the event that the Promoter closes a Competition early, the Prize Winner will be selected from all valid and eligible Entries received by the Promoter prior to the date of closure.

5.8 The Promoter will draw an Instant Win Prize winner for each Competition that contains Instant Win Prizes during the Promotion Period stated on the Website for that Competition.  There will be no Instant Win Prizes to be won after the Promotion Period.  All Instant Win Prizes will be awarded in full regardless of the number of Entries for a Competition.  

5.9 The Promoter reserves the right to cancel any Competition at any time either before or after Entries have been sold.  If a Competition is so cancelled, the Promoter will notify each Entrant at the email address they have provided and return any payment made by an Entrant by the same method as payment was made or provide them with a game credit if they so elect to enable them to replay equivalent Tickets in a subsequent Competition. Where a payment has been refunded, the Promoter will have no further liability to the Entrant or to any other person.

  1. Storage

8.1  The Promoter can store the chosen Prize free of charge for up to 30 days after notifying the Prize Winner, at the end of which time the Prize will be delivered to the Prize Winner.
