This SPORTS CHALLENGE program may not be used in connection with any form of gambling.
To become and remain a participant of the SPORTS CHALLENGE, you must have Internet access and a valid e-mail account. SportsBallot and its affiliates are not responsible for a participant's inability to connect to the Internet, login to the SPORTS CHALLENGE website, gain access to their account, or participate in any activity associated with this program, service outages or delays, computer difficulties or other technological glitches.
Limit: ONE SPORTS CHALLENGE ACCOUNT per person (regardless of whether one person has more than one email address) or email address (regardless of whether more than one person uses the same email address).
In the event of a dispute about the identity of the online entrant, entries will be declared made by the authorized account holder of the e-mail address submitted at time of entry. The authorized account holder is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization that is responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address. The potential winner may be required to provide SportsBallot with proof that the potential winner is the authorized account holder of the e-mail address associated with the winning entry.
To register on the SPORTS CHALLENGE, you must fill out the New User registration form. It is free to register and play. You may be asked to consent to receive SPORTS CHALLENGE sponsored e-mails from our partners and SPORTS CHALLENGE contest reminder emails. Consenting to receive promotional and/or reminder e-mails is optional and does not have to be agreed to in order to become a registered SPORTS CHALLENGE member. After registering on the SPORTS CHALLENGE, participants can play the SPORTS CHALLENGE contests.
In order to submit a sports ballot, a participant must click on the submit bottom at the bottom of a sports ballot contest and then wait for the SPORTS CHALLENGE timer to countdown to zero. When the SPORTS CHALLENGE timer is complete, a participants's ballot is officially submitted and the participant will receive a confirmation email which confirms the participant's ballot selections.
Once participants are registered members of the SPORTS CHALLENGE, they will earn raffle tickets by logging-in to the SPORTS CHALLENGE and doing the following:
1) Play the Sports Ballot Contests: Participants may earn raffle tickets by making correct selections on the sports ballot contests.
2) Refer-a-friend to the SPORTS CHALLENGE: Participants may earn 10 raffle tickets for each friend they refer to the SPORTS CHALLENGE. The referred friend must register and enter the referreral code on the registration form in order for the referrer to be awarded the 10 raffle tickets.
3) Raffle tickets may also be earned in a variety of other ways, at the discretion of SportsBallot and its affiliates. SportsBallot and its affiliates reserve the right to alter the ways of earning tickets at its discretion.
SportsBallot and its affiliates make no representations whatsoever regarding the value, if any, of raffle tickets earned as a result of participation. SportsBallot and its affiliates are under no obligation to provide participants with any particular number of raffle ticket-earning opportunities or prizes.
Participants may enter their earned raffle tickets into the raffle drawings. Participants may decide which raffle drawings to enter and how many of their earned raffle tickets to enter into a raffle drawing. Some raffle prizes may require a minimum number of raffle tickets in order to enter. Raffle drawings close according to the date posted on each raffle prize on the Prizes page. Raffle tickets that are entered into a raffle drawing are considered spent. Whether a participant wins a raffle drawing or not, raffle tickets that are entered into a raffle drawing are subtracted immediately from the participant's available raffle ticket total.
Raffle prize winners will be randomly selected via a random computer drawing from all eligible raffle entries received by the date and time posted on the raffle prize.
All ballot contest winners and raffle winners will be notified by email. If a winner is unreachable after seven (7) days, or if that winner is unavailable for prize fulfillment, an alternate winner will be selected. If SportsBallot or its affiliates cannot find an eligible winner for the prize, that prize will not be awarded.
All results posted are unofficial until winners respond to e-mail notification.
If a potential winner is a minor in his/her jurisdiction of primary residence, potential winner's parent/legal guardian must execute all documents and agree to all obligations and undertakings required of the potential winner in these Official Rules, both on behalf of himself/herself and the potential winning minor. Failure to comply with these requirements may cause the prize to be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner. Prize may be awarded in the name of, or to, parent/legal guardian.
Claimed prizes will be mailed to ballot contest winners and raffle winners within 2-4 weeks after a winner has been chosen, unless otherwise indicated.
Each winner is responsible for all federal, state and local taxes and may be required to complete an IRS form W-9 or the equivalent. Sponsor reserves the right to withhold prizes until completed form W-9 is received.
SportsBallot and its affiliates are not responsible for lost or stolen prizes. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries. Prizes are neither non-refundable nor exchangeable. Cash substitutions are not permitted. SportsBallot and its affiliates make no warranty with respect to any prize and reserve the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value, the right to change, modify, or extend contest dates if it should be deemed necessary.

Winner agrees to allow use of name, statements, hometown, and photos by SportsBallot and its affiliates without further compensation.
Each winner, by acceptance of the prize, agrees to release all Sponsors, and their parent and subsidiary companies, their officers, directors, employees, agents, shareholders, affiliates, suppliers, distributors, and advertising agencies from all liability, claims, or actions of any kind whatsoever for injuries, damages, or losses to persons and property which may be sustained in connection with the receipt, ownership, or use of the prize.
SportsBallot reserves the right to disqualify any participant from receiving a cash or prize award, where SportsBallot at its sole discretion, determines that the participant has violated any of these rules, made any misrepresentation in connection with this program, or used any unintended/unannounced means to accumulate additional raffle tickets.
