- meet the entry requirements set out below
(each an “Entrant”).
Employees, officers and directors of Wealthsimple and its partners and associate companies, each of their advertising and promotional agencies and their respective affiliates and associates, independent contractors engaged by Wealthsimple to promote the Contest and such individuals’ immediate family members and persons with whom such individuals are domiciled, are not eligible to enter or participate in the Contest. For the purposes of the Contest Rules, “immediate family” refers to the spouse, dependent for federal income tax purposes, step-, biological, foster, in-law or adoptive parent, sibling or child of such an employee, agent and/or representative, or who is domiciled in the same household as any such person.
Wealthsimple shall have the right at any time to require proof of identity and/or eligibility to participate in the Contest. Failure to provide such proof may result in disqualification. All personal and other information requested by and supplied to Wealthsimple for the purpose of the Contest must be truthful, complete, accurate and in no way misleading. Wealthsimple reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify the Entrant, should the Entrant at any stage supply untruthful, incomplete, inaccurate or misleading personal details and/or information.
HOW TO ENTER: No purchase necessary. To enter, eligible Entrants must open and log in to the Wealthsimple app and spin the gold coin displayed on the bottom of the app during the Contest Period. Each spin will earn entries as follows:
First Spin: Each Entrant's first spin during the Contest Period will earn one hundred (100) entries.
Subsequent Spins: Each Entrant’s subsequent daily spins after their first spin will be assigned to either the Regular Tier or Jackpot Tier, which shall determine the number of entries earned by that spin.
Each spin will be allocated a number between 1 to 202. Spins that are allocated the numbers 1 to 200 will be assigned to the Regular Tier (approximately 99% of spins per day). Spins that are allocated the numbers 201 to 202 will be assigned to the Jackpot Tier (approximately 1% of spins per day).
Entries will be awarded based on the tier allocated, as further set out below:
- Regular Tier: Spins assigned to the Regular Tier will receive a number of entries in fixed increments of ten (10), ranging from a minimum of ten (10) entries up to a maximum of two-hundred (200) entries. Each of these twenty possible increments (i.e., 10 entries, 20 entries, 30 entries, etc. up to 200 entries) carries an equal probability, representing approximately 5% of the total daily spins assigned to the Regular Tier.
- Jackpot Tier: Spins assigned to the Jackpot Tier will receive a number of entries in fixed increments of ten thousand (10,000), ranging from a minimum of ten thousand (10,000) to one hundred thousand (100,000). Each of these ten possible increments (i.e., 10,000 entries, 20,000 entries, 30,000 entries, etc. up to 100,000 entries) carries an equal probability, representing 10% of the total daily spins assigned to the Jackpot Tier. Based on the allocation above, each individual increment within the Regular Tier has a 4.95% chance of being awarded per spin, and each individual increment within the Jackpot Tier has a 0.1% chance of being awarded per spin.
Limit of one (1) spin per day (with each day ending at 11:59:59 PM EST) during the Contest Period per Entrant, for a maximum of twenty-seven (27) spins throughout the Contest Period per Entrant. An Entrant may accumulate multiple entries over the Contest Period based on the number of entries earned from each daily spin.
