For purposes of these eligibility rules, “immediate family members” means spouse, children, parents, parents of spouse, siblings, and spouse’s siblings. The “Sweepstakes Entities” are Crypto.com and any participating promotional partner, and their respective affiliates, successors-in-interest, advertising, public relations, accounting or legal firms.  By entering the Sweepstakes, each Entrant fully and unconditionally agrees to be bound by these Official Rules, and Crypto.com’s decisions, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.

(B) Additional Eligibility Requirements. Prior to being eligible to receive any Prize, an entrant who has been selected as the potential winner of the Sweepstakes must provide Crypto.com with any information or certifications needed by Crypto.com, in its judgment. Without limiting the foregoing, a person who was selected as a potential winner of the Sweepstakes may be required to sign a copy of these Official Rules, to complete and sign a Declaration of Compliance, Liability and Publicity Release (except where prohibited by law), and provide any other document that Crypto.com determines is required, necessary or appropriate, in its judgment, to confirm the winner’s eligibility and for tax reporting or other purposes. If the potential winner fails to satisfy these conditions within five (5) days of the notice that such person has been selected to be a winner, that person will not be  eligible for the Prize, and an alternate winner will be selected, as described in “Winner Selection” below.

2. Entry Period: The Sweepstakes begins and ends at the times specified by Crypto.com in its announcement (“Entry Period”).  Entries must be submitted during the Entry Period in order to be eligible for the Sweepstakes.  Crypto.com’s computer is the official timekeeping device for entry in the Sweepstakes.

3.  How To Enter:   To enter the Sweepstakes, visit Crypto.com’s website at https://crypto.com/events/fifa-world-cup-qatar-2022-ticket-giveaway during the Entry Period and complete and submit an entry.  Each entry must be completed in full in order to be eligible.  When submitting an entry, Entrant is required to provide complete and truthful information.  Entries that are incomplete, illegible, corrupted, false, lost, late or misdirected, deceptive or otherwise not in compliance with the Official Rules may be disqualified from the Sweepstakes at Crypto.com’s sole and absolute discretion. Entries submitted by persons who do not meet the eligibility requirements (including all requirements with respect to age and residence) are void.

In addition to any other method specified by Crypto.com to submit an Eligible Entry, Entrants may submit an entry by mail (“Mail-in Entry”). On a plain 3” x 5” card, Entrants must legibly handprint or type their name, complete address, city, state, zip code, business or home phone numbers (including area code), and email address. Then, Entrants must mail the 3” x 5” card in a postage-affixed sealed envelope to: Crypto.com, Suite 2725, Sabadell Financial Center Building, 1111 Brickell Avenue, Miami, FL 33131. Mail entries must be postmarked and received by the specified campaign end date and time. No mechanically or programmatically reproduced entries are permitted. Each envelope is considered one entry. All entries submitted become the sole property of Sponsor and will not be returned. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, misdirected, illegible, or damaged mailed entries.

Only one (1) entry is permitted per person. Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same email address. Any attempt by any person to enter the Sweepstakes more than one (1) time by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that entrant's entries and that entrant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. The Released Parties are not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible or misdirected registrations, which will be disqualified.

  • US$200 per ticket

Odds of winning depend on the number of Eligible Entries received during the Entry Period. 3 pairs of tickets will be awarded in total.

If for any reason the Prizes, or any part of a Prize, is unavailable or a Prize or related event is delayed, cancelled, or postponed, or for any other reason, Crypto.com reserves the right to modify the Sweepstakes in its sole discretion and award a substitute prize, or portion of prize, of comparable or greater value as set forth in these Official Rules. No substitution, transfer, assignment or cash equivalent of the Prize, or any portion thereof, is permitted by the Winner, except that, a valid and successful Mail-in Entry may receive a cash equivalent for the Prize, which in any case shall not exceed US$1,000.  Crypto.com and the Sweepstakes Entities shall have no responsibility or obligation to a Winner who is unable or unavailable to, or who does not for any reason, accept or utilize a Prize. In the event a potential Winner cannot accept the Prize, an alternate Winner will be randomly drawn from all remaining Eligible Entries.  All costs and expenses not specifically listed above as part of the Prize are solely Winner’s responsibility.  Winner agrees to comply with any additional terms and conditions applicable for attending the Event. The Prizes are provided “as is”.

5.  Winner Selection and Notification:  Crypto.com will select the potential prize winner(s) by means of a random drawing to be conducted approximately within thirty (30) days from the end of the Entry Period.

The Prize will be awarded to the authorized account holder of the email address submitted with the entry regardless of the individual who submitted the winning entry. The authorized account holder is the person who is assigned to the e-mail address by an Internet service provider or other organization that is responsible for assigning e-mail addresses or the domain names associated with e-mail addresses.  Each potential will be notified within seven (7) days of such drawing by email (at the email address provided with the entry), by phone (at the phone number provided with the entry), or such other method specified by Crypto.com, and will be required to confirm his/her email address and/or phone number.

The potential Sweepstakes Prize winner[s] may be required to sign and return (1) a Declaration of Compliance, Liability and Publicity Release (except where prohibited), (2) a Waiver and Release from Liability, and (3) any other document Crypto.com determines is required, necessary or appropriate, in its judgment, to confirm the winner’s eligibility and for tax reporting purposes. Each of these items must be received by Crypto.com within three (3) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim the prize. At any time, if (i) Crypto.com  determines that any person selected as a potential winner is not eligible to participate in the Sweepstakes, or (ii) a person whose name is drawn refuses to accept the selection as a winner, or (iii) a person whose name is drawn cannot or does not complete the eligibility requirements described in "Additional Eligibility Requirements" above, including without limitation a failure to sign and return the required documents described above or provide any other requested information within the required time period, or (iv) a person cannot be contacted, then that person will be ineligible to win a prize.

Only three (3) alternate drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded.

6.  Winner Verification:  The Winner may be required to prove eligibility, including, without limitation, proof of age, residence, and identity, which may include submitting a copy of his/her passport or similar government issued identification within two (2) hours after being notified of being a potential Winner.

If the Winner (or any alternate Winner) does not complete all forms necessary within the time given and/or in the event of non-compliance by the Winner (or alternate Winner), such Winner (or alternate Winner) shall be disqualified and shall forfeit the prize, and all privileges otherwise due as a Winner shall be terminated and an alternate Winner will be chosen from among all of the remaining Eligible Entries.  All guests in attendance with a Winner must also execute all applicable documents prior to any participation or such guest(s) will not be permitted to participate.
