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!

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!

"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.
