How to Enter. There are two (2) methods of entry:
Method 1: Staking Method of Entry
To enter via Method 1: Staking Method of Entry, Participants must stake MATIC tokens on the Ethereum blockchain through the Omni Web3 Wallet mobile application (”Omni”). Participants must first download Omni to their mobile device and stake MATIC on the Ethereum blockchain to activate their ability to participate in the Sweepstakes via this Method 1: Staking Method of Entry. To download Omni, please visit the following links: Apple App Store or Google Play Store. There is no fee or charge to download Omni. Normal internet access and usage charges imposed by each Participant’s mobile service provider may apply. By using Omni, you agree to the Omni Terms and Conditions and Omni Privacy Policy. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE OMNI TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND THE OMNI PRIVACY POLICY, DO NOT PROCEED WITH USE OF THE OMNI MOBILE APPLICATION.
For each single unit of MATIC token staked to the Ethereum blockchain via Omni, Participants will receive one (1) Sweepstakes entry.
Participants who stake an amount of MATIC will receive an additional number of entries for maintaining their staked position throughout the Promotion Period. The following equation will be used to calculate the additional number of entries awarded to Participants who maintain their staked MATIC positions:
Time boost * ceiling (1 - (days_since_start/(total_days+1))), where ceiling = (1 - days_since_start/total_days+1) rounded up to the nearest integer and Time boost = 20 (number of days in the first round)
If a Participant un-stakes an amount of MATIC during the Promotion Period, they will relinquish a number of entries equivalent to the prorated amount of entries originally awarded to them for staking such an amount of MATIC.
Further, Participants who enter via Method 1: Staking Method of Entry will gain access to a unique referral link within Omni. Participants will be awarded additional entries when they invite another Participate to enter the Sweepstakes, and that referred Participant also enters the sweepstakes via Method 1: Staking Method of Entry. The Participant that refers another Participant will receive additional entries in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the referred Particpant’s number of entries. The referred Participant will also receive additional entries, in the amount of five percent (5%) of the number of entries held by the Participant whose unique referral code they used to enter the Sweepstakes.
Throughout the Promotion Period, Company reserves the right to announce additional methods of obtaining Sweepstakes entries (”Missions and Boosts”). Missions and Boosts will be made available exclusively to Participants who enter the Sweepstakes via Method 1: Staking Method of Entry.
Method 2: Alternate Method of Entry (“AMOE”)
To enter into the Sweepstakes online without staking MATIC tokens on the Ethereum blockchain via Omni (Method 1: Staking Method of Entry), complete the following form at this link: AMOE link. Participants who enter the Sweepstakes through this AMOE must include all requested information outlined in the AMOE form to be considered for an entry. For each completed AMOE form submitted via the AMOE link, Participants will receive one (1) Sweepstakes entry. Requests for confirmation of receipt of AMOE submissions will not be acknowledged. AMOE Entries must be received no later than 7 p.m. ET on January 8, 2023.
For All Entry Methods. Regardless of which method of entry the Participant utilizes to participate in the Sweepstakes, the use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of a dispute over the identity of a Potential Winner, the entry will be declared by the authorized account holder of the email address submitted to the Company via the Omni mobile application (or submitted with the Alternate Method of Entry form, as applicable) (“Participant’s Email Address”), and a Potential Winner may be required to provide identification sufficient to show that they are the authorized account holder of the email account. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned to the applicable email account.
Random Drawings. Three (3) Potential Winners (“Potential Winners”) will be randomly drawn in a single drawing, from all eligible entries received during the Promotion Period. The random drawings will be conducted by the Company, whose decisions are final and binding. The odds of winning a prize depends upon the number of eligible entries received.
Potential Winner Notifications. Potential Winners will be notified in the Omni app that they were randomly selected as Potential Winners, and will be prompted and required to fill out a TypeForm requesting personal details, including: Full Name, Participant’s Email Address, Date of Birth, and Country of Residence. Potential Winners must submit this TypeForm by January 9th, at 7:00pm ET.

In the event a Potential Winner cannot be contacted, fails to respond to the email within the allotted time, refuses the prize, fails or refuses to timely return completed Documents, or if a prize/prize notification is returned as undeliverable, Potential Winner will be disqualified without further notice and an alternate winner may be selected. If Potential Winner returns the Documents and it is revealed that they reside in an Excluded Territory, Potential winner will be disqualified without further notice and an alternate winner will be selected.
