The SoFi Invest Touchdown Promotion will allow new Active Invest Brokerage Account users to (a) select their favorite professional football team, (b) play The Claw game to reveal their game piece amount, and (c) win that Prize Money in the Stock Bit of their choosing for every touchdown their team scores in the next eligible game. E.g, If you drop the Claw and get $100 and your football team scores 3 touchdowns, you’ll win $300 in the stock of your choosing.
HOW TO PLAY: User must download the free SoFi App and follow the onscreen instructions to open an Active SoFi Invest Brokerage Account. Offer is available only through the App. After setting up your account, choose your favorite professional football team, and use an electronic claw to “grab” a game piece (see possible game piece amounts identified in the section below). The final Prize Money awarded will be the game piece amount multiplied by the number of touchdowns your selected team scores during an eligible game. The total amount won will be converted to shares (or Stock Bits as explained below) of the Participant’s choosing. Shares equal to the value of the Stock Winnings will be credited to the Participant’s Active SoFi Invest Brokerage Account (the “Prize”). If the Participant’s team does not score a touchdown in an eligible game, the Participant will receive Prize Money equivalent to one touchdown scored. The eligible game for the Promotion will be the selected team’s next scheduled game provided the Participant selects the team prior to 2 hours after the start of that game, highlighted in the SoFi app at the time of team selection. If a Participant selects a team more than two hours after the start of the team’s next game, the next eligible game for the Promotion will be the team’s next scheduled game (this is also highlighted in the SoFi app). If the Participant does not select a Stock Bit in which to invest the Prize Money identified in the game piece, the Sponsor will use a random process to select a company to invest the Stock Winnings in for the Participant.
A Participant’s receipt of Stock Winnings is subject to verification by Sponsor and/or its agent of the Participant’s eligibility. A screenshot is not proof or evidence of winning a Prize. Limit: one (1) play per Participant. Participants are solely responsible for costs associated with accessing the internet to connect the App and participate in the Promotion, including, without limitation, cellular and WiFi costs.
STOCK BITS: A Stock Bit is a fractional share of stock.This means that you can own less than a full share of stock. When you buy a Stock Bit, you specify a dollar amount of the stock you’d like to buy instead of a number of shares. If the dollar amount is greater than the share price at execution you will receive a full share plus any fractional share up to the dollar amount specified.
AVAILABLE PRIZES: The following chart lists the possible game piece amounts and the percentage chances of selecting each, by participating in the Promotion:
Game Piece Value | Odds |
---|---|
$100 | 0.30% |
$50 | 0.95% |
$20 | 8.75% |
$5 | 90.00% |
Each Participant shall have the opportunity to select only one game piece per game. The Prize Money identified on the game piece multiplied by the number of touchdowns your team scores shall be used to buy the Stock Bits which will be credited to the Participant’s account. Once a Participant selects a game piece, that piece will be replaced so that all subsequent Participants will have the same opportunity and odds of selecting the game pieces identified above. Participants will never compete against each other and one Participant’s selection of a game piece will not affect another Participant’s chances of selecting the same game piece value. Not all game pieces will be selected and awarded.
Once prizes have been converted into shares or other securities, and credited to your Active SoFi Invest Brokerage Account, they are subject to market risk and may lose value. To learn more about Invest Accounts please visit the following link: https://www.sofi.com/invest/
