Raffle rules

Last updated: June 2025

These rules define the terms of organization and participation in raffles offered by the WinUCard platform. Participation in any raffle constitutes full and unreserved acceptance of these rules.

WinUCard is an online platform offering raffles for collectible cards: Pokémon cards, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and other rare graded and certified cards. The objective is to give users the opportunity to win high-value cards by purchasing low-cost participation tickets.

Participation is open to any natural person meeting the following conditions: being 18 years of age or older at the time of participation, having a valid email address and internet access, having made valid payment for the chosen tickets. Any participation in violation of these conditions will be cancelled.

To be eligible for the draw, each participant must correctly answer a skill question presented during the checkout process. This requirement introduces a skill element that may qualify the activity as a competition rather than a pure game of chance under applicable law. Payment is required regardless of the answer given. An incorrect answer does not cancel the purchase and does not entitle the participant to a refund. Only tickets associated with a correct answer will be entered into the draw.

Each raffle covers a unique collectible card. The card is described on the raffle page with the following information: card name, images, condition, grading agency (PSA, BGS, CGC, etc.), grade, rarity information. All cards offered are authentic and delivered in their original certification slab.

For each raffle, the following are specified: the unit ticket price, the maximum number of available tickets, the raffle start and end dates. A user may purchase one or more tickets for the same raffle. Each purchased ticket represents a valid entry. A unique ticket number is assigned to each purchase and communicated to the buyer by email.

Ticket purchases are made exclusively through the WinUCard platform, via secure Stripe payment (Visa, Mastercard, American Express). Payment is immediate and non-deferred. The transaction is considered final upon receipt of payment confirmation from Stripe. Payment data is processed directly by Stripe and is never stored by WinUCard.

Any purchased ticket is final and non-refundable, including in cases where the skill question is answered incorrectly. By purchasing a ticket, the participant expressly accepts that payment is due regardless of the outcome of the skill question. Exception: in the event of raffle cancellation by WinUCard due to exceptional and unforeseeable circumstances, a full refund is automatically processed within 5 business days.

A raffle closes when one of the following two conditions is met, whichever comes first: all available tickets have been sold, or the raffle expiration date is reached. In both cases, the draw is organized among all eligible tickets (i.e., tickets associated with a correct answer to the skill question).

At raffle closure, a winning ticket is designated by random selection from all eligible tickets (those with a correct answer to the skill question). Each eligible ticket has an equal probability of being selected. The selection operation is recorded and its result is traceable, guaranteeing impartiality and transparency. The result is final and without appeal.

The winner is notified by email at the address provided during purchase, within 24 hours of the draw. The winning ticket number is published on the relevant raffle page. If the winner does not respond within 72 hours of notification, WinUCard reserves the right to conduct a new draw from the remaining eligible tickets.

The card is shipped to the winner within 7 business days of validation of their delivery details. Shipment is made in secure insured packaging. All delivery costs are covered by WinUCard. A tracking number is provided to the winner by email upon dispatch. WinUCard cannot be held responsible for delivery delays outside its control.

WinUCard generates revenue through ticket sales. Example: for a card worth €1,000, 150 tickets are offered at €10 each, generating gross revenue of €1,500. Costs include the card (€1,000) and delivery (approximately €50). WinUCard does not sell the card directly: it sells entries into a skill-based competition in which only one winner takes the prize.

Our activity combines a prize (the collectible card), a skill element (the question that must be answered correctly), and financial consideration (ticket purchase). The inclusion of the skill element is intended to distinguish this activity from a pure game of chance. Participants are responsible for verifying compliance with the regulations applicable in their country.

Any dispute relating to the organization or result of a draw must be sent to WinUCard by email at contact@winucard.com within 30 days of the draw date. WinUCard undertakes to provide a reasoned response within 15 business days of receiving the dispute.

WinUCard reserves the right to modify these rules at any time. Changes take effect upon publication. Raffles in progress remain subject to the rules in force at the date of their opening.
