2. The prizes

2.1. Each winner of a match bet will receive an OPTIMAL wheel bearing clock as well as an OPTIMAL Euro 2016 mug.

2.2. Whoever guesses the correct result of the final on 10th July 2016 will also receive in addition an original Euro 2016 football as a star prize.

 

3. The competition period

The competition will begin when the Euro 2016 is opened on 10th June 2016 and will end after the final game on 10th July 2016.

You will usually be able to bet on the ten selected matches on OPTIMAL's Facebook page two days before kickoff in each case. Just the first match (England vs. Russia) will be available for betting on the first day of our competition only (i.e. on 10th June 2016, from midnight (00:00) to midnight (24:00) CEST).

 

4. The rules

• Each player can participate in all ten matches selected (see matches under point 1.).
• The player participates in our competition by sending us his/her bet as a comment on the relevant competition posting atwww.facebook.com/optimalgermany.
• The bet in the comment field must contain the exact result of the match. For example, a match bet of "Germany vs. Poland = 2:1" would mean that the player expects a 2 goals to 1 victory for Germany. If the match ends with that exact result, the player will be entered into the pool of correct bets, and the winner will be randomly drawn from this pool.
• It should be noted that the knockout games begin starting from the round of sixteen (as of competition 7). For these matches, it is considered a correct bet if the player correctly guesses the total number of goals scored by each of the teams. For example, if the score is 2:2 after 90 minutes between team A and team B and the match is decided in extra time by a further goal for team A, the player would need to have bet 3:2 for team A. However, if no goals are scored in extra time and the match is decided in a penalty shootout with 5 to 4 goals for team A, the correct bet would be 7 to 6 for team A. The bet therefore needs to indicate the exact match result in order to be entered into the pool of correct bets.
• The winner is drawn from the pool of correct bets.
• If there is no correct bet (exact match result), the winner will be drawn from the pool of the players who at least bet the correct outcome of the match (i.e. victory, draw or defeat).
• Bets can be made as soon as the competition posting appears on OPTIMAL's business page on Facebook. This will usually be two days before kickoff in each case. The first competition, i.e. the match between England and Russia, will only be posted as a competition one day before the match starts.
• Bets can be made until midnight (24:00) Central European Summer Time (CEST) on the day before the match starts. Otherwise the bet will not be valid. The bet for competition 2) for example (Belgium vs. Italy, beginning on 13th June 2016 at 9pm) must therefore be submitted no later than midnight (24:00) on 12th June 2016.

 

5. Participation

9. Reservation clause.

OPTIMAL AG & Co. KG reserves the right to change, suspend or end the competition at any time without giving notice and without stating reasons. However, we will only make use of this option in urgent cases, e.g. for reasons of force majeure, for technical reasons (in case of hardware and software manipulation) as well as for legal reasons. OPTIMAL AG & Co. KG shall not be liable for losses, failures or delays which are outside our scope of responsibility. In justified cases, the prize may be replaced with an equivalent prize or prizes.

Once the competition is over and the prizes have been sent, all data collected will be deleted.

 

11.  Miscellaneous
