Chipmunks 30th Anniversary Cash Giveaway
By participating in the Chipmunks Playland & Café 30th Anniversary Cash Giveaway (the “Promotion”), entrants agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.
1. The Promoter
The Promoter is Chipmunks Playland & Café Head Office (and its designated regional New Zealand franchisees), hereinafter referred to as “the Promoter”.
2. Promotional Period
Campaign Start Date: 12:01 AM on Saturday, 1 August 2026.
Campaign End Date: 11:59 PM on Monday, 31 August 2026.
In-Store Entry Submission Close Date: 11:59 PM on Thursday, 3 September 2026 (allowing 3 additional days for manual web entries from in-store purchases made on or before 31 August 2026).
Note: Physical stores open at 9:30 AM on 1 August 2026, but valid qualifying tickets purchased online prior to store opening hours within the promotional period will be deemed valid entries.
3. Eligibility
Entry is open strictly to legal residents of New Zealand who are 18 years of age or older at the time of entry. Individuals under the age of 18 are strictly ineligible to participate or claim a prize.
Employees of the Promoter, its regional franchisees, store managers, staff, and their immediate families are strictly ineligible to enter.
4. How to Enter & Entry Mechanics
To enter, individuals must make a Qualifying Purchase during the promotional period (1 August to 31 August 2026). A Qualifying Purchase is defined as the purchase of any General Admission single-entry ticket, Official Chipmunks 30th Birthday Event Ticket, or Multi-Pass at any participating Chipmunks Playland & Café store in New Zealand (excluding Chipmunks Henderson, and Chipmunks Timaru).
Online Purchases (Automatic Entry): Customers who purchase qualifying items via the online booking platform are automatically entered into the draw. Because the Promoter securely retains transaction and contact logs for online sales, online buyers do not need to fill out an external registration form.
In-Store Purchases (Manual Web Form Entry): Customers purchasing tickets over the counter in-store do not have their contact details automatically logged for the draw. To enter, in-store customers must visit chipmunksplayland.co.nz/30years (or scan the in-store QR code), fill out the mandatory contact fields, and manually input their unique Booking ID.
Mandatory Receipt Photo Upload (In-Store Entries): For all manual entries, the entrant must upload a clear photo or copy of their physical printed receipt. This photo serves as the primary verification asset; if an entrant accidentally mistypes their Booking ID digits on the web form, the uploaded image will be used by Head Office to verify the transaction details in our booking software (ROLLER). Manual entries without a clear receipt image will be disqualified.
5. Entry Limitations & Validation (Boost Your Chances)
Entry Weighting: Entries are validated at the transaction level via ROLLER software, structured strictly around the specific qualifying items purchased to calculate an entrant’s total chances:
One (1) individual General Admission ticket purchased = 1 Entry into the draw (excludes adult, complimentary and under one tickets).
One (1) 5-Entry Multi-Pass purchased = 5 Entries into the draw.
One (1) 10-Entry Multi-Pass purchased = 10 Entries into the draw.
Transaction Aggregation: All qualifying items purchased within a single transaction will be tallied automatically based on the breakdown above. Customers do not need to split items into separate transactions to receive their full amount of combined entries.
Exclusions: Food-only, beverage-only, or café-only receipts that do not contain a General Admission ticket or Multi-Pass purchase are strictly invalid.
Disqualification: Any entry submitted with a fabricated Booking ID or an unreadable/missing receipt photo will be automatically disqualified during the data validation period.
6. Prizes and Prize Pool
The total prize pool for this New Zealand promotion is $17,000 NZ, distributed strictly as follows:
1st Prize: $10,000 NZ Cash
2nd Prize: $5,000 NZ Cash
3rd Prize: $2,000 NZ Cash
Security & Payment Notice: Cash prizes will be paid exclusively via electronic bank transfer to the winners’ verified New Zealand bank accounts. Chipmunks Head Office will contact winners directly and will never ask for online banking passwords, account login details, or request any money transfers.
7. Draw, Winner Notification & Media Requirements
Data Validation Period: 4 September 2026 – 29 September 2026. Incomplete entries, incorrect data fields, or invalid receipt uploads will be audited and filtered out.
The Prize Draw: Winners will be randomly drawn from the verified database at the conclusion of the validation period. Winners will be contacted directly via the email and phone number provided upon entry/checkout to begin verification.
Mandatory In-Store Media Condition: To claim and activate the prize, the verified winner must physically attend their local/purchased Chipmunks store to take an official promotional photograph with the venue franchisee and share a brief comment on how they plan to spend the cash. This asset will be published across national digital channels.
Official Announcement: Public announcement of the winners will take place on Monday, 5 October 2026 via the official website, Facebook, and Instagram pages. This timeline ensures Head Office has sufficient time to contact, verify, and coordinate with the drawn winners prior to the public release. A follow-up post will feature the in-store prize presentation photo.
Payment Terms: The electronic bank transfer will be processed within five (5) business days after the mandatory in-store photograph has been successfully taken. The winner will be required to provide written confirmation to Head Office once the funds have cleared.
8. Unclaimed Prizes & Shift Structure
To ensure all cash prizes are distributed fairly and efficiently, strict timeline rules apply to the draw and contact process:
The 3-Day Contact Rule: Drawn winners have exactly three (3) business days from the initial date they are contacted by Head Office to respond, verify their identity, and agree to the mandatory in-store media conditions.
The Forfeiture & Shift Rule: If a drawn winner cannot be reached after reasonable attempts, fails to respond within three (3) business days of contact, or refuses to participate in the mandatory in-store photography requirement, they completely forfeit their claim to a prize, and the placement tier shifts upwards:
If the 1st Prize ($10,000) winner forfeits, the 2nd Prize ($5,000) winner is promoted to 1st Prize, and the 3rd Prize ($2,000) winner is promoted to 2nd Prize. A new backup winner will be randomly drawn to claim the 3rd Prize position.
If the 2nd Prize ($5,000) winner forfeits, the 3rd Prize ($2,000) winner is promoted to 2nd Prize, and a new backup winner will be randomly drawn to claim the 3rd Prize position.
Backup Draws: Any secondary draws required to fill shifted vacant spots will take place immediately following the verification of a forfeiture. Promoted and new winners will be subject to the same terms, conditions, and contact timelines.
9. General Conditions
The Promoter reserves the right to verify the validity of entries and to disqualify any entrant who tampers with the entry process or submits an entry not in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
Prizes are non-transferable and will only be paid out in New Zealand Dollars (NZD).
Personal information collected during this promotion will be handled strictly in accordance with the Chipmunks Privacy Policy and will only be used for the administration of this draw and future internal marketing campaigns.
10. Customer Support & Data Corrections
General Promotion enquiries: If you have any questions regarding how the promotion works, store hours, or eligibility, please contact your local Chipmunks Playland & Café store directly.
Data Corrections: If you have submitted a manual entry and realise your contact details are incorrect or have changed, please contact Head Office immediately via the web form on our official Contact Us page. For security and verification purposes, data corrections cannot be handled over the phone or via social media messaging.
