USING NOVIG CASH TO PLAY GAMES

Playing with Novig Cash
Upon logging into their Customer Account a Participant can choose to use either Novig Cash or Novig Coins. A user can also choose to play with Novig Cash or Novig Coins on the Order Slip.

Value and Redemption of Novig Cash
Novig Cash does not have any real monetary value and can only be used to request a prize redemption, which must be approved and processed by the Sponsor/Promoter. Approval is contingent on the Participant completing all verifications to confirm eligibility and compliance with all Sweepstakes Rules and the Terms of Use of the Platform.
Prohibited Methods of Play

Finality of Sponsor/Promoter Decisions
The decisions of the Sponsor/Promoter regarding the administration and operation of the Sweepstakes, the games, and the determination of winnings are final and binding.

It is the Participant's responsibility to check the prize availability each time they participate.
ODDS OF WINNING
Odds of winning will vary for each game and will be published by the Sponsor/Promoter, visible to all Participants, on the Platform.
The Participant will choose the market and will use Novig Cash to play, and their win expectancy (odds of winning a Prize) will be a function of these choices.
VERIFICATION AND CONFIRMATION OF POTENTIAL WINNERS
Verification and Sponsor/Promoter Decisions
Potential sweepstakes winners are subject to verification by the Sponsor/Promoter, using any method they choose. The decisions of the Sponsor/Promoter are final and binding in all matters related to the sweepstakes. A Participant is not considered a winner of any prize, even if the online screen indicates otherwise, until the Participant’s eligibility and the potential winning play have been verified, compliance with these sweepstakes rules is confirmed, and the Participant has been notified that verification is complete. The Sponsor/Promoter will not accept screenshots or other purported evidence of winning as a substitute for its official validation process.
Know-Your-Customer (KYC) Verification
Participants must successfully complete a Know-Your-Customer (KYC) verification process provided by the Sponsor/Promoter to validate eligibility before redeeming any prize. This process may include, but is not limited to, providing proof of a valid government-issued photo ID, a biometric facial scan, proof of address, and validation of a Social Security Number (SSN).
Compliance with Sweepstakes Rules
Potential prize winners must comply with these Sweepstakes Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements.
