Luau’s Nintendo Switch 2 Giveaway – Official Rules
NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A purchase or payment will not increase your chances of winning. Contest is open only to legal residents of the United States who are 18 years of age or older. Void where prohibited by law. By entering this contest, you agree to these Official Rules and the decisions of the Luau Digital, Ltd., which are final and binding.
Eligibility
Location and Age: The contest is open to U.S. residents who are 18 years of age or older. Proof of residency and age may be required.
One Entry Per Person: Limit one contest entry per person. Each individual may create only one event for this contest. Multiple event entries by the same person (including creating events under multiple accounts) are not allowed and will result in disqualification.
Personal Accounts: Participants must enter using their own Luau account with true, accurate information. Creating fake accounts or false identities to enter is prohibited.
Sponsor’s Employees: Employees, officers, and directors of Luau (the “Sponsor”), its affiliates, partners, advertising/promotional agencies, and the immediate family or household members of each are not eligible to enter or win.
Contest Period
Start and End Dates: This promotion begins on June 25, 2025 and ends on June 27, 2025 (the “Contest Period”). All entries must be received within this period.
Time Frame: Entries will be accepted starting at 12:00 AM (midnight) on June 25, 2025, and the opportunity to enter will close at 11:59 PM on June 27, 2025 (all times Central Time). Sponsor’s server timestamp or records are the official time-keeping method for this contest.
How to Enter
To enter the giveaway, eligible participants must complete all of the following steps during the Contest Period:
Create an Account: Sign up for a free account on Luau’s web app (https://app.luau.co) if you do not already have one. The Luau platform is currently in beta, but all core features needed to participate are fully available and free to use.
Create an Event: Using the Luau app, create an in-person event between June 25 and June 27, 2025. Make sure the event is an in-person gathering (virtual events do not qualify for this contest). Each participant may create only one event for the contest.
Invite Attendees: Invite friends, family, or community members to your event through the Luau app event page. You must obtain at least 3 confirmed RSVPs marked “Yes” (meaning 3 or more people have said they will attend your event). These RSVPs should come from real, unique individuals.
Qualifying Entry: Once your event has at least 3 “Yes” RSVPs during the Contest Period, you automatically earn one contest entry in the prize drawing. Each additional “Yes” RSVP beyond the first three will earn you one extra entry in the drawing. For example, 3 RSVPs = 1 entry, 4 RSVPs = 2 entries, 5 RSVPs = 3 entries, and so on. There is no limit to the number of extra entries you can earn via additional RSVPs, but remember that only one event per person is allowed.
No Purchase Required: Creating a Luau account and event is completely free. You do not need to pay for any service or purchase any product to enter. (Any optional expenses you choose to incur for hosting your event, such as food or decorations, are up to you and are not required or provided by the Sponsor.)
Entries that do not meet all the above criteria (for example, events with fewer than 3 “Yes” RSVPs, or entries submitted outside the contest dates) will be disqualified.
The Sponsor is not responsible for late, incomplete, or misdirected entries, including any technical issues or outages on the Luau platform that could affect your ability to create an event or gather RSVPs.
Event Requirements (Hosting the Event)
This giveaway is about bringing people together, so simply creating an event online is not enough – you must follow through and host the gathering:
120-Day Hosting Window: You must hold the event you created within 120 days of the date you entered the contest. (In other words, if you enter on June 25, 2025, your event should take place by late October 2025 at the latest.) Plan a date and time for your get-together that falls within this 120-day window.
Event Photo Proof: The winner will be required to provide proof that the event actually took place by submitting a group photo from the event. The photo must clearly show you (the event host) along with some of your event attendees together at the gathering. This is to verify that you hosted the in-person event as intended.
Submission of Photo: The event photo will need to be submitted to Luau via email or MMS (text message). Detailed instructions on how and where to send the photo will be provided directly to the winner after the random drawing. The winner should be prepared to email or text the photo by the deadline given in the winner notification (which will be well within the 120-day hosting window).
Authenticity: The event and photo must be genuine. Do not attempt to stage or fabricate an event solely for the contest without actual attendees, as this would violate the spirit of the giveaway. Luau reserves the right to reject any photo that appears to be manipulated or not from a real gathering.
(Note: We encourage you to follow all applicable health and safety guidelines when hosting your event. You are responsible for ensuring your event is conducted safely and lawfully. The event can be anything from a small casual get-together to a larger gathering – the goal is to have fun and connect with others!)
Winner Selection and Notification
Random Drawing: One (1) potential winner will be selected in a random drawing from all eligible entries. The drawing will take place on June 28, 2025 (or on the next business day, if necessary) after the Contest Period has ended. Each entry (plus any extra entries earned from RSVPs) will have an equal chance of winning. Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received.
Selection Process: The random drawing will be conducted by the Sponsor (Luau) in a fair and impartial manner, using either an automated randomization tool or another impartial selection method.
Notification of Winner: The potential winner will be contacted promptly after the drawing. Luau will attempt to reach the selected winner via one or more of the contact methods associated with their Luau account or contest entry. This may include a phone call, text message, email, and/or in-app notification. Please make sure your contact information on your Luau profile is up to date, as the Sponsor will use that information to get in touch.
Response Requirements: If you are the chosen winner, you may be required to respond and confirm eligibility within a specified time frame. If the winner cannot be reached or does not respond to the notification attempts within 72 hours of the initial contact (or a shorter/longer period at Sponsor’s discretion), or if the winner is found to be ineligible or non-compliant with the rules, that person may be disqualified. In such case, the Sponsor reserves the right to select an alternate winner by random drawing from the remaining eligible entries.
Arrangements: Once contact is made and your eligibility is confirmed, the Sponsor will coordinate with you to verify any remaining requirements (such as the event photo, if your event has already occurred or once it occurs) and to arrange prize delivery. The official winner announcement (e.g., on social media or other channels) may be delayed until verification is complete.
Prize
Grand Prize: There will be one prize awarded to the winner. The prize is one (1) Nintendo Switch 2 gaming console. This is the latest generation Nintendo console, commonly referred to as “Nintendo Switch 2.”
Approximate Value: (Approximate retail value of the console is $449.99 USD. Note: If not yet available at retail, the value may be based on an estimated launch price.) This is provided for information; no cash equivalent will be given.
Prize Delivery: The prize will be delivered to the winner or made available for local pickup in the Birmingham, AL area, at the Sponsor’s discretion. We will work with the winner to arrange a convenient delivery or pickup method. The winner may be asked to provide a valid ID and sign a simple acknowledgement of receipt upon delivery/pickup.
No Substitution or Transfer: The prize is non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash or an alternate item. There are no prize substitutions allowed, except that the Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value in the event the Nintendo Switch 2 is unavailable for any reason (for example, if there are supply issues or delays with the product release).
No Warranty by Sponsor: The prize will be awarded in new condition. The Sponsor makes no warranties or representations of any kind concerning the prize, and is not responsible for any defect or malfunction. Any manufacturer warranties, if applicable, will be passed along to the winner, but the winner agrees that the Sponsor has no liability for the use or misuse of the prize.
Taxes and Expenses: No purchase is necessary to accept the prize, but any and all federal, state, and local taxes or fees resulting from winning or owning the prize (if any) are the winner’s sole responsibility. The Sponsor will not pay any such taxes on the winner’s behalf. Likewise, any other expenses related to the enjoyment of the prize (games, accessories, etc.) are the winner’s responsibility.
Verification and Prize Forfeiture
Winning this contest is contingent upon full compliance with these Official Rules:
Verification of Eligibility: The potential winner will be required to prove that they meet the eligibility requirements and have adhered to all contest rules. This verification may include providing a valid government-issued ID (to confirm identity, age, and residency) and the event photo described above under “Event Requirements” (to confirm the event took place and the winner was involved as host). The Sponsor may also ask the winner to confirm that the RSVPs for their event were legitimate.
Additional Documentation: In Sponsor’s discretion, the winner may be asked to sign an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release or similar document as a condition of receiving the prize. (This is a standard document confirming that you are eligible and releasing Sponsor from liability, as well as acknowledging publicity terms. If such a document is requested, it will be provided to the winner after the drawing.)
Disqualification: Important: If a selected winner fails to respond within the required time, cannot be verified, fails to provide the required event photo or other verification information, or is found to have violated any of the Official Rules, the Sponsor may disqualify that person. In the event of disqualification, the prize will be considered forfeited. The Sponsor then reserves the right to select an alternate winner from the remaining eligible entries, as described above.
Forfeiture for Rule Violations: If it is discovered at any point (during or after the contest) that an entrant engaged in cheating or violated the rules – for example, by creating multiple accounts or events, using fake identities or RSVP entries, or any other deceptive practice – that entrant will be disqualified from the contest and will forfeit any claim to the prize. The Sponsor will enforce this rule strictly to keep the contest fair.
Judging of Compliance: All contest entries and potential winners are subject to verification by Luau. Luau’s decisions are final in all matters relating to verification and rule compliance. We really want to give this prize away to a deserving winner, so please play fair and follow the rules!
Publicity Rights
Participation in this contest constitutes permission for the Sponsor to use the winner’s name, likeness, and submitted event photo for promotional purposes, in accordance with the following:
Use of Winner’s Identity: By entering, you agree that if you are the winner, Luau may use your name, your city (e.g., Birmingham), and basic information about your event, as well as the photograph of you and your event attendees, for advertising or publicity in connection with this contest. This might include, for example, posting the winning event photo on Luau’s social media accounts, website, or other marketing materials, along with a caption congratulating you as the winner.
No Additional Compensation: The winner will not receive any further financial compensation for this use beyond the prize itself. The consent to publicity is a condition of entry/winning; it helps us share the story of your awesome event and how you won the prize. (We appreciate your participation!)
Privacy for Others: We understand not everyone may want to be public. Luau will make reasonable efforts to respect the privacy of other attendees in the event photo (besides the winner). For instance, if the winner’s event photo is shared publicly, faces of other people in the image may be blurred or obscured if those individuals request privacy or if we deem it appropriate. Our aim is to celebrate the winner while being mindful of others’ privacy.
Consent and Exceptions: By submitting the event photo and accepting the prize, the winner confirms that they have the right to share the image and that no other person in the photo has objected to being in it. If any local or state laws limit the Sponsor’s ability to use the winner’s information or likeness for publicity, the Sponsor will comply with those laws (for example, Tennessee and California residents may have specific publicity rights – such exceptions will be observed). In general, except where prohibited, acceptance of the prize constitutes the winner’s consent for Sponsor to use their name and likeness as described.
