2. Who can and who cannot participate?
- Are you at least 18 years old? Check!
- Do you have a passport and can travel to the USA (with a visa, if necessary)? Check!
Then you’re in!
Persons who are in an economic, professional, or any other dependent relationship with Queen Games GmbH, Queen Games Inc. (US), or Mogli Distribution GmbH (e.g. employees, business partners), as well as their relatives, are excluded from participation.
3. How can you participate?
It’s simple: During SPIEL ’24 in Essen (from October 3rd to 6th, 2024), for every €20 spent at the checkout, you will receive a raffle ticket. Each ticket contains a QR code that leads you to a contact form, as well as a unique 6-digit code.
Scan the QR code, register by October 15th, 2024, 11:59 PM CEST in the contact form, and enter all your winning codes in the corresponding field. You can enter as many ticket numbers as you want at once – no need to register again!
4. This is how you participate:
To participate, you need the original ticket. Keep it safe! If you win, you will need to present it as proof.
Important for everyone who cannot or does not want to travel to the USA:
When registering your winning code, you can indicate that you cannot or do not want to travel to the USA. If you are drawn first, you will receive the second grand prize instead.
5. Travel at your own risk
The flight generally departs from an international airport within the EU or the UK. Traveling to this airport is your responsibility and at your own cost. We will do our best to book the flight from your preferred airport. However, if this is not possible, we will discuss an alternative airport with you.
Queen Games assumes no liability for accidents, damages, illnesses, or other incidents during the trip or stay. We also do not assume any liability for the loss or theft of personal belongings.
6. Determination of winners and notification:
- The winner will be drawn by lot on October 31, 2024, at 3:00 PM CEST.
- Notification will be sent via email immediately afterward. You have 14 days to confirm your prize, otherwise, someone else will get lucky!
