Are Canadians eligible for prizes? Thanks.

All prizes will be awarded in the form of Free Play accounts at LasPalmas ... I don't think they restrict Canadians from joining so you should be fine. Good luck!

[Sean]

do you need to have an account at las palmas to enter?

No account needed to enter the contest ... however, all prizes will be awarded in the form of Free Plays at LasPalmas, so you will need an account if you finish in the money. Good luck!

is the underdog win-seed differential thing only for round 1?

[awatkins011]

what does it mean by 5x rollover? Can someone explain that for me Thanks

[Sean]

is the underdog win-seed differential thing only for round 1?

yes ... each round is scored as follows:

SCORING:
• Round One – 1 point per win PLUS seed differential (if underdog picked & wins)
• Round Two – 2 points per win
• Round Three – 4 points per win
• Round Four – 8 points per win
• Round Five – 12 points per win
• Round Six – 16 points per win MULTIPLIED by seed number

[Sean]

what does it mean by 5x rollover? Can someone explain that for me Thanks

"Rollover" is a term that applies to bonuses and free play amounts awarded by sportsbooks. Using this contest as an example, winners will have their accounts at Las Palmas credited with the prize amounts in the form of free play bonus cash subject to "5x rollover". This means that each winner will be required to wager their prize amount a minimum of 5 times before withdrawing ... so, for example, the 10th place winner receives $100 free play account and must provide at least $500 in action before withdrawing.
