3. SPIN 2 WIN
To enter the IWON Spin 2 Win Game, access the IWON web site at www.IWON.com (the "Website"). On the homepage you will find the Spin 2 Win Prize Wheel.
If you are currently a member of IWON, and signed into your account, the first time you access the game during a Day you will be credited twenty (20) spins or such other number that may be designated by sponsor for play. If you are not a registered member of IWON or not signed in as a member of the website, you will be credited with five (5) spins or such other number that may be designated by sponsor for play. Once unregistered members, or members not signed into their account, have completed their five (5) spins, you will be prompted to either sign into your existing account or register an account. Once this is completed you will receive twenty (20) additional spins. You will not be credited with additional spins should you leave a Play Page and then re-access it during the Day (unless you earn spins for the Day in another manner, as described below), nor will you receive spins for any Day on which you did not access a Play Page. Spins which you have earned during any Day, but which remain un-played by the end of the Day will expire at the end of that Day and will not be carried forward to subsequent Days. The number of spins available to you, and the number of spins you have taken at any time for the Day will be displayed on the spin counter, which is viewable on the Spin 2 Win module on the homepage. While every effort will be made to assure that the spin counter is correct, technical difficulties may, at times, make this problematic. While Sponsor will use reasonable efforts to assure that all spins due any participant be recorded and given to that participant, Sponsor assumes no responsibility for such technical difficulties and the decisions of the Sponsor are final and binding in all respects.
Throughout the Sponsor Site, there may be links and site activities that will allow you to earn additional spins of the Spin 2 Win Prize Wheel. When you click on those links or participate in such site activities, you will receive the number of spins associated with that activity.
To play, click on the Spin 2 Win "spin" button located on the Spin 2 Win interface. The virtual Prize Wheel will spin. If the "pointer" is pointing at a prize once the Prize Wheel comes to a complete stop, then you win the prize for that spin (subject to verification). Any other attempt at Internet or email entry, or any attempt to spin through any other means is void.
Once your spin counter reaches zero (0), you will be prompted to provide up to five (5) valid email addresses of friends, family members or business associates who are at least thirteen (13) years old to which Sponsor will send an email on your behalf advising the recipient about IWON. Sponsor will not sell, disclose or share the email addresses you provide to any third party (except to the extent that Sponsor may share the email addresses on a strictly confidential basis with any service provider which assists Sponsor in forwarding such emails). You will receive (1) Spin of the Spin 2 Win Prize Wheel for each email address. You may enter up to five (5) email addresses per day for a total of 5 spins maximum per day. Please have the email sent only to those persons with whom you have either personal or professional relationships and that you feel would be interested in hearing about IWON. Should you provide Sponsor with invalid or ineligible email addresses, you may lose the Spins earned for this email address. Further, provide only one (1) valid email address for any person; if a person has more than one (1) email address, provide only one of their email addresses.
Sponsor's computer system shall be the official computer for the random selection of winners. Winners, and the prizes won by each winner, will be determined by the random spin of the Spin 2 Win Prize Wheel set in motion by the participant and the spin number (subject to verification).
Sponsor reserves, at its sole option, the right to increase the number of spins made available to each participant per Day, and to change which prizes are available to be awarded on any particular spin, subject to notice deemed appropriate by Sponsor.
When a prize is awarded by the Game, a pop-up box will appear on the Play page notifying you that you have won a prize (subject to verification). The pop-up box will advise you how to proceed to verify that you are a winner and claim the prize upon verification. Winners may also be notified of verification by regular mail, email, phone, or overnight express mail. In some instances, a winner will be required to acknowledge, execute and/or return the Affidavit and Releases referenced in Section 9 below before a prize will be awarded. Failure to claim a prize within thirty (30) days of the date on which the prize is awarded shall result in forfeiture of the prize.

Sponsor reserves the right to investigate and verify any prize winner and disqualify any winner who it finds, in its sole judgment, has not complied with these Official Rules.

You may opt out of the receipt of such emails by following the opt out directions in any email you receive or as posted on the Sponsor Site.
On the Website's homepage you will find various links to different interactive games, such as Mah Jong and Text Twist. You may also access games using the links located at the top of the page, which will generate a drop-down menu, for each game category, or you can click on the link to open a page where you can select an interactive game. Games are divided into five (05) categories: Copper, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. To access each level, you must have achieved a certain level of "lifetime" coins, as listed on the member's profile page. "Lifetime" coins are the total coins earned by the member since May 5th, 2008.
Copper level: Zero (00) to One hundred thousand (100,000) coinsBronze level: One hundred thousand and one (100,001) to five hundred thousand (500,000) coins
Silver level: Five hundred thousand and one (500,001) to two million (2,000,000) coins
Gold level: Two million and one (2,000,001) to ten million (10,000,000) coins
Platinum level: Over ten million (10,000,000) coins
If you have not earned the required level of coins for the game you are requesting to play, you will be notified that the game is "locked". You will then be prompted to either continue playing unlocked games until you reach the minimum coins required for the particular "locked" game or you can download the IWON toolbar. The IWON toolbar is a free software application, and is subject to the End User License Agreement available here. If you have the IWON toolbar installed, you will be able to play any level of game. If you uninstall or otherwise disable the toolbar, you will no longer be able to play games that are above your "level" and are "locked".
Once you click on any of the named games you will be taken to the introductory page for that game. Sponsor reserves the right to add or delete or change the level of any particular game(s) with or without notice from time to time at any time. When you access a particular game's introductory page there will be a picture of the game. The rules for that game will either be located within the game's play page or by clicking the "Game Rules" button. By clicking on the "Game Rules" button you will be taken to a page which explains how to play the game and the rules for the game. While many of the games when played in the real world have differing rules depending on where a particular game is played, the instructions and rules for any particular game on the Sites will be the only instructions and rules for that game. To play a particular game, click on the picture of the game and follow the instructions and rules for that game. Spins earned from games are stored in your "Spins Counter".
In order to be properly credited with Spins based upon your score in any game, you must wait for the game to completely finish. If you terminate your game prior to completion you will not be awarded Spins based on that game.
There is one "Spins Counter" per user. The spins balance appears on the individual game's play page.
SPINS HAVE NO MONETARY VALUE AND ARE NOT REDEEMABLE FOR CASH OR ANY CASH EQUIVALENT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
Once you have completed a game you may be awarded spins, which will appear in your "Spins Counter" and the "PLAY" button will be highlighted. Please note, you must use all of your available spins at this time or they will be forfeited. To spin the Progressive Jackpot, click on the Play button. The "wheel" next to the Play button will spin. Once it comes to a complete stop,, it will indicate "win" if you are a winner or "try again" or "sorry" if the spin is not a winning spin. If you are a winner (subject to verification), there will be a Prize Claim window that will appear notifying you that you have won a prize, the amount of the prize and the Claim Code. In addition, it will advise you how to proceed to verify that you are a winner and claim the prize upon verification. Winners may also be notified of verification by regular mail, email, phone, or overnight express mail. In some instances, a winner will be required to acknowledge, execute and/or return an Affidavit and Release referenced in Section 6 below before a prize will be awarded. Failure to claim a prize, which does not require an Affidavit or Release, within thirty (30) days of the date on which the prize is awarded shall result in forfeiture of the prize. Failure to return an Affidavit or Release, where required, within seven (7) days of the date on which the prize is awarded shall result in the forfeiture of that prize.
Any other attempt at Internet or email entry, or any attempt to spin through any other means is void.
Each time you complete an interactive game, you may receive additional spins that must be utilized at the time they are awarded. You will not be credited with spins if you leave the game play page prior to completing the game. Each interactive game has a unique Progressive Jackpot game that is independent of all other Progressive Jackpot games. Winning and awarding of a prize on an individual Progressive Jackpot game will not affect the value of any other Progressive Jackpot game. Spins are not transferable to other Progressive Jackpot games. Spins un-played will be forfeited.
While every effort will be made to assure that the Spins counter is correct, technical difficulties may, at times, make this problematic. While Sponsor will use reasonable efforts to assure that all spins due any participant are recorded and given to that participant, Sponsor assumes no responsibility for such technical difficulties and the decisions of Sponsor are final and binding in all respects.
Sponsor's computer system shall be the official computer for the random selection of winners. Winners, and the prizes won by each winner, will be determined by the random spin of the PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT Game set in motion by the participant and the spin number.
Sponsor reserves, at its sole option, the right to increase or decrease the number of spins made available to each participant, and to change the prize that is available to be awarded, subject to notice deemed appropriate by Sponsor.
