  3. HOW TO ENTER (NO PURCHASE NECESSARY*):

    From the Promotion landing page at https://aka.ms/win-Promo (the Website) log into Microsoft Rewards using your Microsoft Account or create a new Microsoft Account free of charge (“Account”).

    Please ensure that your full legal name is entered in your Microsoft Account prior to participating in order to be eligible to win a prize. Failure to do so may lead to disqualification.

    When you initially request your one (1) “chance to win” from the Website or participate via another available method of earning chances to win, you will be presented with a registration form: you must provide your true legal first and last name, mailing address, working mobile phone number, and email address, as well as confirming that you have read and accept these Official Rules.

    Verification Requirement: We may require you to verify your registration form using a secondary method. This verification may include, but is not limited to:

    • SMS Verification: You will receive a code via SMS to enter on the form.
    • App Verification: You may be prompted to scan a QR code and verify using the Bing mobile app.
    • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): You may be asked to complete verification using a second factor such as an authenticator app or a secure code sent to your registered device.
    Message and data rates may apply. Connect time charges may apply.

    You may earn one (1) chance to win per Day into the Promotion by searching with the Bing App on your mobile device. Each chance to win earned by this method must be played on the same Day as it is earned. (For the purposes of these Official Rules, a “Day” begins at 12:00:00 AM PT and ends 11:59:59 PM PT, except for the first Day of the Promotion which starts at 9:00:00 AM PT.) All online chances to win must be played by October 17, 2025 at 11:59:59 PM PT. To check if you are a winner, for any chance to win earned, click on “Check if you’re a winner” in the Bing App to reveal whether the applicable chance to win is a potential prize winner. (Note: you must download the free Bing App to your device to find out if you are a winner, if you do not already have it installed.)

    Prizes available in the Promotion are randomly time-seeded throughout the Promotion Period and awarded to the person who plays by clicking on “Check if you’re a winner” (a “Chance Reveal”) on or after the time the prize is randomly seeded. The time of day when you play the game during the Promotion Period, as recorded by the Web site technology, and the number of Chance Reveals received will solely determine whether or not you are a Potential Winner (as defined below).

    After clicking the link to play the Promotion, a winning message will be displayed if you are selected as a potential winner (each a “Potential Winner” and, if verified, “Winner”). Potential Winners of Prizes will be sent a “Play Receipt”, including a unique Security Identification Code (SIC), to the email address provided in the registration process within approximately three (3) to five (5) business days (to allow for verification of Chance Reveals). The Play Receipt and SIC will confirm the results of the applicable Chance Reveal. Please keep this email for reference purposes. If you are not a Potential Winner, a losing message will be displayed on-screen after clicking the link to play the Promotion.

    Multiple participants are not permitted to share the same email address or Account. Any attempt by any participant to use multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, Accounts, or any other methods in an attempt to defraud the participation process or gain additional chances to win will void that participant’s chances to win and participant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate, as determined by Sponsor in Sponsor’s sole discretion, is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of disqualification, any prize that participant might have been otherwise entitled to will not be awarded.

    In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of a participant, the chance to win will be deemed to have been earned by the authorized account holder of the email address submitted with the Program registration. Authorized account holder is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an email address by an internet access or online service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the registered email address. Each participant may be required to show proof of being an authorized account holder. If you do not have internet access via a personal computer, your local library or internet café may be able to provide access to the internet and a number of internet service providers and other companies offer free email accounts.

    Chances to win earned by script, macro or other automated or mechanical means, chances to win gained by any means which subvert the participation process, and submissions or registrations that are illegible or made in any fashion other than as specified herein, as determined by Sponsor in Sponsor’s sole discretion, are void. All submissions become property of the Sponsor and will not be returned.

    Prepaid cards are subject to the terms, restrictions, and conditions as set by the issuer, and may be subject to expiry dates as disclosed at the time of prize notification.

    Note: the exact relative value of prepaid cards awarded will be subject to currency fluctuations.

Documents must be executed and returned within five (5) calendar days from the time they are received by the Potential Winner, or the applicable prize may be forfeited.

    In addition, where permitted by law, prior to receiving their prize, potential winners will be required to share with Sponsor the URL of their own original social media post created to celebrate their win, which may be reviewed by Sponsor. If the post URL submitted is unrelated to the prize win, is deleted before it can be reviewed, or is found to be offensive or inappropriate in any way, the prize may be forfeited at the Sponsor’s sole discretion. Potential winners will be required to clearly indicate in their post or caption that they will be receiving a prize, or the prize may be forfeited at the Sponsor’s sole discretion.

    If a Potential Winner is determined by Sponsor, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, to be ineligible or not in compliance with these Official Rules, declines to accept a prize, or Sponsor is unable to contact a Potential Winner within three (3) calendar days, or in the event that a prize notification or prize is returned undeliverable, the prize may be forfeited at the Sponsor’s sole discretion.

DISCLOSURES:

  1. Any attempt by a participant or other individual, to deliberately damage any website or undermine the legitimate operation of this Promotion, including but not limited to any fraudulent claims, may be a violation of criminal and civil laws. Should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek remedies and damages (including attorneys' fees) from any such individual, to the fullest extent permitted by law, including criminal prosecution. Participants engaging in any of the foregoing activities may be disqualified (and all associated chances to win will be void) and will forfeit any prize won. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.

  2. If a dispute arises relating to any prize won, a combination of factors will be assessed in determining if you are in fact eligible to win a prize; i. the Play Receipt including the unique SIC, and its corresponding play data in the Promotion database will be reviewed to determine the legitimacy of the claim; ii. The Promotion Judges will be consulted to compare the pre-generated game data with the Chance Reveal data you are presenting or have generated. Ultimately it will be the results of the Promotion Judges' analysis, which will determine your entitlement to any prize. The review of any such dispute will not commence prior to two weeks following the Promotion end date noted herein. In the event the Promotion Judges' analysis reveals valid claims are greater than the number of prizes available as set forth in these Official Rules, then Sponsor reserves the right to conduct a random drawing amongst all eligible claimants whose claims have not yet been redeemed, to award the remaining number of advertised prize in the category in question. Prizes will stop being awarded in the event Sponsor becomes aware of an error respecting the number of prizes. In no event will the Sponsor be liable for more than the stated number of prizes available in the category in question.

  3. To the extent required by applicable law, and notwithstanding anything elsewhere in these Official Rules, no person’s or entity’s liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence shall be limited in any way, and nor shall their ability for fraud or for any other matter where liability may not as a matter of law be limited or excluded. Where these Official Rules provide for discretion exercisable by a Promotion Entity (to the extent permissible by applicable law) that could otherwise be capable of causing a significant imbalance in the parties’ rights and obligation hereunder, to the detriment of a consumer and contrary to the requirement of good faith, shall be exercised reasonably and in good faith.

  4. In the event of any conflict with any Promotion details contained in these Official Rules and Promotion details contained in Promotion Materials (including but not limited to point of sale, television, and print advertising, promotional packaging, and other promotion media), the details of the Promotion as set forth in these Official Rules shall prevail.

  5. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that any provision is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, these Official Rules shall otherwise remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein. In particular, Sponsor's employees are not authorized to waive, modify or amend any provision or provisions of these Official Rules in any manner whatsoever.
