5A. Instant Win Prizes

Some competitions promoted by Whisky Globetrotters Ltd may include instant win prizes.

Instant win prizes are awarded independently of the main competition prize and do not replace the final draw prize.

How Instant Wins Work

Instant win prizes are released automatically during the competition period when pre-set ticket sales milestones are reached. When an instant win is triggered, the qualifying entrant is notified immediately and the prize is awarded at the point of entry.

Instant win prizes are limited in number and are not guaranteed for every entrant.

5A.1 Site Credit Instant Wins

Where site credit instant win prizes are offered:

a. Site credit is awarded instantly at the point of entry when a qualifying ticket number is entered.
b. Site credit is automatically added to the winner’s on-site wallet.
c. Site credit has no cash value, is non-transferable, and may only be used to enter eligible competitions on the Whisky Globetrotters website.
d. Site credit may be subject to an overall allocation cap for a competition, which will be clearly disclosed on the competition page.
e. Once the stated site credit allocation cap has been reached, no further site credit instant win prizes will be awarded for that competition.

5A.2 Unlockable Mystery Whisky Instant Win Prizes

Some competitions may include unlockable mystery whisky instant win prizes.

Where this applies:

a. Mystery whisky instant win prizes are not available from the start of the competition.
b. These prizes will only become active once specific ticket sale thresholds are reached, as clearly stated on the competition page.
c. Until the relevant threshold is reached, mystery whisky instant win prizes cannot be won.
d. Unlocking thresholds are objective, pre-defined, and apply equally to all entrants.

5A.3 Activation of Unlockable Instant Win Prizes

Once a stated ticket sale threshold has been reached:

a. The corresponding mystery whisky instant win prize will be activated.
b. The activated prize will be allocated using a pre-defined automated process in accordance with these Terms & Conditions.
c. Eligible ticket numbers may include tickets already sold and/or tickets sold after the activation point, as specified on the competition page.

If an activated instant win prize is allocated to a ticket number that has already been sold, the prize will be awarded immediately and the winner notified.

5A.4 Fairness and Transparency

a. All instant win mechanics, including any unlocking thresholds, are disclosed before entry.
b. No entrant is led to believe they can win a prize that is not yet active.
c. No changes are made to instant win prize structures or unlocking thresholds once a competition has launched.

Alcohol prizes are delivered only to individuals aged 18 or over. Failure to pass age verification will result in forfeiture.

8. Minimum Unit Pricing (MUP)

8.1 Alcohol prizes may only be dispatched from Scottish premises if ticket revenue meets the MUP threshold (£0.65 per unit effective 30 September 2024).

11.2 Referral Reward: For each successful referral, the Referrer will receive £10 in site credit added to their on-site wallet.

11.3 Qualifying Criteria: A referral is deemed successful only when the referred Friend:

We reserve the right to remove credit and close accounts where we suspect multiple registrations or bot activity.

Where payment has been taken, any payment will be refunded in full or, where appropriate, returned as site credit with the entrant's agreement. Entries arising solely from such errors shall be void and removed from the relevant competition.
