Yep, it happened again: Santa lost his sleigh...

While he was gathering the presents for all the good kids, an elf startled the reindeers and away they went with the sleigh... again.  

Help Santa get back his Sleigh and win a share of the $3,500!

The promotion is made up of 2 parts: the chase itself which takes place on our social network pages, and the freeroll which will happen on the 23rd of December on the game client.

Tell me more

From the 5th to the 16th of December, every day, the sleigh will be spotted in one of our Social Networks: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit or Discord. When this happens, a post will also appear in all of our other Social Pages. 

Above: example of a post in the other social pages (in this example, you will have to go to Facebook)

Above: example of the post with the Sleigh

You just need to answer the post with the sleigh (the one with There it is! wording on it), and in your answer you will have to write this:

SPOTTED! [+ your username ].

Example: 

"SPOTTED! - betkingsplayer99"

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE TYPING DOWN THE EXACT USERNAME with uppercase and lowercases, as otherwise we won't be able to track you to qualify for the freeroll!

 

Got it so far. Then what?

Every time you spot the sleigh and you post the "Spotted!" along with your username, you will gain 500 points. But if you are the first one to answer, you will get 1200 points. You have time to answer to the post up until the sleigh gets spotted in another social the next day. So for example, if the sleigh gets spotted on Discord at 10am on a given day, you have time until the post with "the sleigh has been spotted on..." comes up the next day. If you answer after the sleigh has ben spotted elsewhere, you won't score point for that post, but you can still go to the other social to get points for the new one.


STREAK BONUS:
After the final Sleigh day, you will also get a Streak bonus in the form of 50 points for every consecutive day you managed to spot the Sleigh. Only the longest streak will be considered. (so if you spot the sleigh for 5 consecutive days, then no more, then you spot it on the last 4 consecutive days, your Streak Bonus will be calculated on the 5-days streak and you will therefore receive 50*5 = 250 extra points). 

At the end of the chase, after the 16th of December, the final leaderboard will be published, and the first 10 players will win a share of the $1,000 prize as per the following table:

What about the freeroll?

By participating in the sleigh chase you will get registered to the Special Sleigh Chase Freeroll. The freeroll itself will have a limited amount of seats available, and all of the players who participated into the chase will start with EXTRA CHIPS. How much? It depends on how much points you have scored. 1 extra chips for each point!

For example: if during the Chase you scored 3,000 points, you will start the Freeroll with 3,000 extra chips.

The Freeroll itself will have a prize pool of $2,500 , structured in the following way:

 

Can I get even more extra chips?

Yes you can. In the same days as the chase, 5th to 16th of December, every sleigh-spotter who manages to reach at least $100 in rake, will get another additional 5,000 chips for the Freeroll. But attention: only if you have spotted the sleigh at least once you will be eligible for these 5,000 extra chips!

The Special Freeroll is currently scheduled for December the 23rd at 10pm CET. This may be subject to change so please be sure to check in here regularly or follow our social network pages for updates.

TERMS and CONDITIONS

- Players must be aged 18+, 19+, 21+, or 24+ depending on jurisdiction, to participate to the Santa's Sleigh Chase.
- Chase will start on December the 5th when the first Sleigh gets spotted and will end on December the 16th at 22:59 CET
- Hours at which the Sleigh will be spotted on the social will not be disclosed beforehand, but the sleigh will be spotted each day.
- The Santa's Sleigh Chase is reserved for players who have a BetKings account.
- To score points, you need to answer to a post with the Sleigh (the one with "There it is!") with the wording "Spotted!" followed by your BetKings username. Answers to the posts with the Sleigh covered in other socials won't generate any points.
- The first one to answer a post with the Sleigh with the correct wording, will get 1200 points. Every other player answering the post with the correct wording will get 500 points.
- Once the Sleigh gets spotted ( = the post with the Sleigh gets published), there is time to answer up until the moment the next post with the Sleigh appears. An answer after the Sleigh has been spotted elsewhere won't generate any points.
- An updated leaderboard with the Chase points will be visible at all times on our Subreddit and on our Discord Channel.
- At the end of the chase, if two or more players are tied in terms of points, the better place will be taken following this logic: 1) Better Place to the player who has spotted most times the Sleigh as the first one under a post. If still tied, 2) Better place to the player who has spotted more times the Sleigh overall. If still tied, 3) Better place to the player who has spotted the Sleigh before the other(s) during the whole Chase (example: player 1, 2, 3 tied. Player 1 spotted the Sleigh before the others on the first day. Player 1 takes the place). If still tied due to identical time stamps, 4) Better place to the player who has been registered on BetKings for the longer period of time. Note that tie breaking will only be applied at the end of the promotion.
- To qualify directly to the Special Freeroll, you need to spot the Sleigh at least once during the chase ( = you need to answer at least to one post with the Sleigh)
- If you qualify directly to the Special Freeroll through the chase, you will also get additional chips to start equal to the amount of points you scored. For example, if you spot the Sleigh just once, and you are not the first to answer the post, you will score 500 points. This means you will start the Freeroll with 500 extra chips (so 3,500 instead of the starting default of 3,000).
- If you qualified directly for the freeroll, and you scored at least $100 in rake during the period 5th to 16th of December, you will get additional 5,000 chips for the Freeroll.
- After the chase has ended, the social network part of the prizes will be assigned within 3 to 5 working days.
- The promotion terms and conditions are subject to the GGPoker site terms and conditions.
- GGPoker standard rules apply.
- BetKings reserves the right to modify or suspend the promotion at any time.
- If any players fall under suspicion of fraudulent activity, GGPoker has the right to investigate and remove the players once it’s confirmed.
