An annual contest that is well known around the halls of MyBookie, the Squares Contest is back on the site and now has some updated contest prizes and rules as well. As noted on the site, the “Squares contest is super and fun!” and starts the game off with a 10 x 10 grid. This gives players 100 squares to choose from, and each game has its own 10 x 10 grid. For scoring, the total, cumulative score of each team at the end of the first, second, and third quarters, along with the Final score, determines the winners. The last number in each team’s total score is matched with the grid, and the owner of the square where those numbers intersect is the winner.
In this article, SBS will be going over the latest gaming updates coming from MyBookie, along with some additional notes and information coming from the outlet and beyond.
Per the same report, there is an example included in the breakdown. For example, if the Arizona Cardinals play the New England Patriots and the score at the end of the second quarter is 14-10, the Cardinals’ number is 4 and the Patriots’ number is 0, and that is the second quarter prize. The Final score includes any points accumulated in Overtime if played. If Overtime is played, the official rules sheet notes, the points scored in Overtime will be added to the 4th Quarter points in the Box Score.
The report also offers prize payout rundowns for the NFL, NCAA Football, and the NBA. This includes: the first quarter being 20% of the prize pool, the second quarter equating to 20%, along the third quarter. However, the final score is equivalent to 40% of the prize pool. For NCAA basketball, the first half is good for 40% of the prize pool, while the second half nets 60% of the prize pool. Additionally, the contest page notes that, NCAAB 2nd Half will be paid according to the final score of the event. All unfilled contests feature 100% payouts for winners.
Noted on the same page, to enter the contest, customers must select the squares on the game grid sheet, submit, and complete the purchase. Moreover, purchases can only be completed using cash funds from customer accounts, and bonus funds cannot be used to purchase entries. Once the purchase is complete, the player’s name will be assigned to the square, and no one else will be able to purchase that square. Once the contest fills or the game starts, numbers will be assigned, and the game board will be complete. All contests run and feature a 100% payout regardless of whether or not all 100 squares have been purchased.
As the report notes, all sales are final, and winnings will be paid in cash funds and credited to their account. Winnings from FREE SQUARES given via any type of promotional offer will be credited in Free Play with a 7x Rollover unless otherwise stated. In the event of an NFL/NCAAF/NBA game being officially canceled or postponed and rescheduled more than 72 hours from the scheduled start, all squares on that event will be canceled, and the funds returned to your account.
Covered on the “Squares Contest – How to Play” page, eligible customers will need to log in to their MyBookie account or create an account at the site. Additionally, customers can visit the Contests section of the website and click the “Buy Squares” button to enter the Squares lobby. Select a game, and the customer will be immediately presented with that game’s Square game details page, which will provide the following details.
The teams playing will be shown on this page, like for example, the Houston Rockets vs. the Los Angeles Lakers. Also, the date and time of the contest, the scoreboard, and the entry fee (for example, the cost of each square is $12). There is also a prize pool showcased here, like being $1000, plus the available squares for purchase in the grid, and also have free entries that will be displayed there as well.
Once the purchase is complete, your name will be assigned to the square, and no one else will be able to purchase the square. Additionally, customers will be able to purchase from the Open Contest section once the grid is sold out on their grid sheet or until the game starts. Customers can also view their purchased squares in the ticket history section and can find a complete list of Square rules on the site.
