Verification & Confirmation of Potential Winners
POTENTIAL SWEEPSTAKES WINNERS ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY SPONSOR/PROMOTER (IN ANY MANNER IT MAY CHOOSE) AND THE DECISIONS OF SPONSOR ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE SWEEPSTAKES. A PARTICIPANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE, EVEN IF THE ONLINE SCREEN INDICATES THEY ARE, UNLESS AND UNTIL THE PARTICIPANT'S ELIGIBILITY AND THE POTENTIAL WINNING PLAY HAS BEEN VERIFIED AND THE PARTICIPANT HAS FULLY COMPLIED WITH THESE OFFICIAL RULES AND BEEN NOTIFIED THAT VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE. SPONSOR/PROMOTER WILL NOT ACCEPT SCREEN SHOTS OR OTHER PURPORTED EVIDENCE OF WINNING IN LIEU OF ITS VALIDATION PROCESS.
Participants may be required to successfully complete a Know-Your-Customer ("KYC") Verification process provided by the Sponsor to validate eligibility to participate before redeeming any prize. This may include, but is not limited to, providing proof of a valid government-issued photo identification, biometric facial scan recognition, proof of address, and validation of SSN. We may carry out additional verification procedures for any single or cumulative of prizes valued at $600 or more, and we reserve the right to carry out such additional verification procedures in the case of a request to redeem any amount.
We reserve the right to run external verification checks on all cardholders with third party credit agencies on the basis of the information provided on registration.
Where any identification, credit or other verification check we require cannot be completed to our satisfaction because you have not provided any document we request from you in the form that we require within 30 days of the date the document was first requested, the redemption request will be disqualified and deemed null and void. In addition, we shall be under no obligation to continue with the verification check and may in our sole discretion deactivate your customer account.
Potential prize winners must comply with these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements.
A potential prize winner may be required to sign and return to Sponsor an affidavit/declaration of eligibility, and liability/publicity release (except where prohibited) in order to claim his/her prize.
If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to properly execute and return any required affidavit/declaration of eligibility and liability/publicity release within the required time period (if applicable), fails to comply with these Official Rules, or if the Prize or Prize notification is returned as undeliverable, that potential winner forfeits the Prize.
Prizes and Prize Claims

The right to receive a Prize cannot be transferred or assigned. No cash or other prize substitution is permitted, except at the sole discretion of the Sponsor. The Prize is subject to availability, and if the Prize cannot be awarded for any reason, Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to substitute the Prize with one of comparable or greater retail value.
Each winner is solely responsible for all federal, state, local, or other applicable taxes associated with the acceptance and use of the Prize. Each winner agrees and acknowledges that Sponsor may be required to withhold and remit a portion of Prize value to comply with applicable tax laws.

Any requested redemption in excess of the Maximum Redemption will not be paid to the participant during the period, but must be deferred until the next Sweepstakes Period.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to refund purchases in lieu of processing a prize redemption.
You acknowledge and agree that it in some circumstances it may take up to 30 days to process the payment of any redeemed Prizes to you. Redemption of prizes may experience delays due to our identity verification process. Prizes of $600 of more may require a longer processing time than usual due to security and fraud checks and may also be allocated in more than one equivalent lump sum. We make our best efforts to process requests within the quoted amount of time but do not guarantee processing times for prizes.
We will only process one prize redemption request per customer account in any 5 day period.
You acknowledge and agree that we may, in our sole discretion, from time to time, appoint one or more payment administration agents to accept payments from players on our behalf. A payment administration agent will have the same rights, powers and privileges that we have under the Terms and these Rules and will be entitled to exercise or enforce their rights, powers and privileges as our agent or in their own name. In no event shall we be liable to any player for any loss, damage or liability resulting from the payment administration agent's negligence and/or acts beyond the authority given by us.
Sweeps Cash may be forfeited if a customer account is deactivated due to a violation of our Terms or for any reason, or at our discretion.
If we mistakenly credit your customer account from time to time with prizes that do not belong to you, whether due to a technical error, human error or otherwise, the amount will remain property of Sponsor and will be deducted from your customer account. If you have been issued a prize that does not belong to you, the value of the mistakenly issued prize will (without prejudice to other remedies and actions that may be available at law) constitute a debt owed by you to us. In the event of an incorrect crediting, you are obliged to notify customer support at support@myprize.com. Sponsor, at all times, reserves the right to deduct Sweeps Cash from your account or otherwise charge or adjust your account to correct errors.
