Organisation of Wannawin’s Contests
It is stated that the website is the English version of the website Toutacoup. Users registered on one of the two sites may technically use their unique account on both sites provided that the Tokens won on Wannawin are used exclusively on Wannawin and the Tokens won on Toutacoup are exclusively used on Toutacoup, in order to respect the principles of loyalty and equal opportunities between players. In case of non-compliance with this rule, Users may see their use of Tokens refused. The Editor reserves the right to transfer the User’s Tokens won with Toutacoup to the Wannawin’s account, and vice versa. If the User prefers his Tokens to be transferred to his Toutacoup account, the Editor will review his demand and will not be binding to follow it, and if the Editor does accept it, it would be only once.
The Website features new Contests every day: electronics, trips, gift cards, gift certificates, appliances, shows, and much more. The idea behind the free Contests is very simple: register, play and win. All the Contests available on our Website (apart from the Section “Partners’ Contest, as described in details below) are organized by ConcoursMania Canada Inc.
The Contest is open to Canadian residents that provide their legal names, mailing address, phone number and email address on their registration form. Entrants that provide nicknames or any other name substitution will not be considered for the Contest draw. Each person is authorized to maintain one account only (based on legal name and mailing address). In case of use of several accounts for one User, the Editor reserves the right to delete the said account(s) most recent. It means that the only account accepted should be the first created by the User. If so, the Tokens won with the deleted acount(s) would be once and for all lost, the prizes won with the deleted account(s) would not be awarded. The Editor will notify the deletion of the fraudulent account(s) to the User concerned, by an email destined to all of the e-mail addresses used by the User. In case of repetition, all accounts of the User will be deleted, Tokens and prizes will be once and for all lost. The Editor reserves the right to ask to any User contesting the deletion of fraudulent accounts, a copy of his identity document (driving license, identity card or passport) attesting the personal information provided by the User.

The User may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time through a dedicated unsubscribing link present in each email.
