BAUER Mystery Minis® 2025 Collection Prize Promotion

Official Rules

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE DOES NOT IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. OPEN TO LEGAL RESIDENTS OF THE FIFTY (50) U.S. AND D.C. (EXCLUDING RESIDENTS OF PUERTO RICO & ALL U.S. TERRITORIES & POSSESSIONS) AND CANADA, AGE 13 AND OLDER. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW. STANDARD MESSAGE AND DATA RATES MAY APPLY IF PARTICIPATING WITH A MOBILE DEVICE.

1. OVERVIEW: The BAUER Mystery Minis® 2025 Collection Prize Promotion (“Promotion”) is an in-pack promotion in specially marked packages (“Eligible Packages”) of BAUER Mystery Minis® Player Sticks (“Mini Sticks”), with an alternative Free Play Request method of entry as described in Rule 4.b. To be a potential winner, one must obtain a code (“Promotion Code”) that is uniquely associated with a prize (“Winning Prize Code”). If the Eligible Package is a winning package, then: (i) if the Eligible Package is a winning package for a First Prize or Second Prize, within that Eligible Package will be a golden Promotion notification mini player stick (a “Golden Notification Stick”) that contains a sticker (“Code Sticker”), that has a QR Code (“QR Code”) and a Winning Prize Code on it; or, (ii) if the Eligible Package is a winning package for a Third Prize, within that Eligible Package will be a BAUER Mystery Minis® Player Mini Stick that contains a Code Sticker with a QR Code and Winning Prize Code. IMPORTANT NOTE: If the Eligible Package is not a winning package, the Mini Stick within that Eligible Package will not contain a Golden Notification Stick, Code Sticker, QR Code, Promotion Code, nor any other form of Promotion-notification message. If the Eligible Package is a winning package for a First Prize or Second Prize, that Eligible Package will not contain a Mini Stick and will contain only a Golden Notification Stick (with a Code Sticker, QR Code and Winning Prize Code). If the Eligible Package is a winning package for a Third Prize, that Eligible Package will not contain a Golden Notification Stick (however it will contain a Mini Stick, Code Sticker, QR Code and Winning Prize Code). For Free Play Requests, the return mailing (except as applicable for End Time Free Play Requests as explained in Rule 4.b.) will include a QR Code and a Promotion Code (which may or may not be a Winning Prize Code). In order to claim the prize if you obtain a Winning Prize Code in an Eligible Package, or in order to determine if your Promotion Code from a Free Play Request is a Winning Prize Code and then to claim the prize if it is a Winning Prize Code, during the Code Redemption Period (defined in Rule 3, below), an Eligible Participant must scan the QR Code with a smart device, manually input the Promotion Code as prompted, and then if it is a Winning Prize Code, complete the Code Redemption and Verification process detailed in Rule 5 (including, without limitation, completing the Skill Testing Question if the Eligible Participant is a resident of Canada), and if they are deemed a Winner through the verification process, claim the prize associated with that Winning Prize Code. 

Do not share your Golden Notification Stick, Code Sticker, QR Code or Promotion Code (as applicable) with anyone other than Sponsor or Administrator. Each Winning Prize Code is unique and can be used for verification on the Website one time only. Once the verification process has been completed with a Winning Prize Code one time (whether the Potential Winner is confirmed as a Winner or not), that Winning Prize Code will thereafter be inactive. Once a Winning Prize Code is inactive, it cannot be used to claim a prize. You may be required to submit the original Winning Prize Code, Golden Notification Stick, Code Sticker and/or QR Code as part of the verification process.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For greater certainty and the avoidance of any doubt, Golden Notification Sticks are used to notify eligible winners in connection with First Prizes and Second Prizes only and are not a Prize nor a component of any Prize awarded in the Contest. Each Golden Notification Stick is a gold BAUER mini player stick and will otherwise be of similar size and form as a standard Mini Stick set out in Eligible Packages.

2. ELIGIBILITY: The Promotion is open only to legal residents of: (i) Canada; or (ii) the fifty (50) United States or District of Columbia; who are 13 years of age or older at the time of entry (“Eligible Participants”). Employees, representatives, agents, owners, officers and directors of Bauer Hockey, LLC and Bauer Hockey Ltd. (collectively, the "Sponsor"), Snipp Interactive Inc. (“Administrator”), each of their affiliated companies, Sponsor’s advertising and promotion agencies, and any other entities or individuals involved in the administration, execution or fulfillment of the Promotion (collectively the “Promotion Parties”) are ineligible to participate or win a prize, as are their immediate family members (defined as spouse, parent, child, sibling; whether biological, adopted, step or in-law) and household members (those persons whether related or not who live in the same residence for at least three months during the twelve-month period preceding the start date of the Promotion). The Promotion is void where prohibited or restricted by law, and is subject to applicable federal, state, provincial/territorial, and local laws and regulations. By participating in this Promotion, each participant accepts and agrees to be legally bound by the terms and conditions stated in these Official Rules (“Rules”), agrees to be bound by the decisions of the Sponsor, and warrants and represents that s/he is eligible to participate per the requirements of these Rules.

IMPORTANT NOTE: MINORS – participants who are thirteen (13) years of age or older, but have not reached the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence at the time of entry (each, a “Minor”), must have parent/legal guardian consent, on such Minor’s behalf and on the parent/legal guardian’s own behalf, that each of them will be bound by these Rules in order to participate in the Promotion. The Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, on a random audit basis or at any time and for any reason, to contact a Minor’s parent/legal guardian for the purposes of verifying their: (i) agreement to be legally bound by these Rules on such Minor’s behalf and on the parent/legal guardian’s own behalf; (ii) consent to the Minor’s participation in this Promotion; and/or (iii) consent to the collection of the Minor’s personal information as set out below. Failure of a Minor’s parent/legal guardian to complete any such required verification to the complete satisfaction of the Sponsor within the timeline specified by the Sponsor may, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Sponsor, result in the disqualification of such Minor. All participant authorizations, consents, releases, grants and any other agreements set out in these Rules shall, in the case of a Minor, be deemed given by the Minor and their parent/legal guardian on such Minor’s behalf and on the parent/legal guardian’s own behalf. 

3. TIMING: 

a. Code Acquisition Period: The time period during which one may obtain a Promotion Code begins at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time (“ET”) on September 1, 2025 (“Code Acquisition Start Date”), and ends at 11:59:59 pm ET on November 30, 2026 or on such earlier date that Eligible Packages and Free Play Messages are depleted, whichever occurs first (the “Code Acquisition Period”).

Code Redemption Period: Eligible Participants who obtain a Promotion Code (whether such code is a Winning Prize Code from an Eligible Package or a Promotion Code with unknown status from a Free Entry Request) must follow the directions in Rule 5, below, to complete the applicable Code Redemption and Verification Process during the Code Redemption Period. Such directions include that participants who obtain a Promotion Code (except for codes obtained via End Time Free Play Requests, as detailed in Rule 4.b.), scan their Promotion Code to (i) in the case of a Promotion Code from a Free Play Request, determine if it is a Winning Prize Code, and (ii) for all Winning Prize Codes, complete the Code Redemption and Verification Process.

c. The Sponsor’s computer, or that of its designee, is the official timekeeper for this Promotion. All dates and times are based on Eastern Time.

d. The number of Winning Prize Codes available in the Promotion as of the Code Acquisition Start Date shall be equal to the number of prizes available in the Promotion as set out in Rule 6 below. The total number of Winning Prize Codes available in the Promotion shall decrease throughout the Code Acquisition Period as Winning Prize Codes are claimed in accordance with these Rules. All Winning Prize Codes (and their corresponding Golden Notification Stick, Code Sticker and/or QR Code, as applicable) available in the Promotion will be randomly allocated across Eligible Packages and Free Play Messages. At the Code Acquisition Start Date, a total of 861,942 Eligible Packages and Free Play Messages will be available and will decrease throughout the Promotion as Eligible Packages are purchased, and Free Play Requests are received, as set out below. 

4. HOW TO OBTAIN A CODE: There are two (2) ways to participate in the Promotion for the chance to receive a Winning Prize Code: 

a. Purchase an Eligible Mini Stick Package: During the Code Acquisition Period, while supplies last, purchase an Eligible Package of Mini Sticks. If the Eligible Package is a winner for a First Prize or Second Prize, there will be a Code Sticker with a QR Code and a Winning Prize Code on it affixed to a Golden Notification Stick in the package (note, there will not be a Mini Stick in the package). If the Eligible Package is a winner for a Third Prize, there will be a Code Sticker with a QR Code and a Winning prize Code on it affixed to the applicable Mini Stick in the package (note, there will not be a Golden Notification Stick in the package for a Third Prize). If the Eligible Package is not a winner, there will not be a Code Sticker affixed to the Mini Stick (nor any Golden Notification Stick, QR Code or Promotion Code included in the package). Carefully open the packaging to avoid damaging the Code Sticker, if there is one, printed on the Mini Stick or Golden Notification Stick.  

IMPORTANT NOTE – prize notification: For certainty, if an Eligible Package is not a winning package, the Eligible Package will not contain a Golden Notification Stick or Mini Stick with an affixed Code Sticker, QR Code, Promotion Code nor any other form of Promotion-notification message. 

IMPORTANT NOTE – Eligible Packages: Only specially marked Eligible Packages of BAUER Mystery Minis® Player Sticks are eligible as Eligible Packages for the chance to win in the Promotion. For certainty, packages of goalie sticks are not eligible player sticks and do not qualify as Eligible Packages in the Promotion.     

b. Free Play Request: During the Code Acquisition Period, while supplies last, Eligible Participants may submit a free play request (“Free Play Request”) to participate in the Promotion without purchasing an Eligible Package as follows: 

i. On a 3” x 5” card (“Card”), neatly hand print your full name, age at time of entry, mailing address, and valid email address;
ii. Place both the Card and a separate unsealed, hand-printed, self-addressed, standard return envelope affixed with proper paid return postage (the “Return Envelope”) together in an outer mailing envelope, and seal the outer mailing envelope (the “Outer Envelope”) (note: VT residents only may omit return postage on the Return Envelope); and
iii. Mail the Outer Envelope with proper postage affixed and with the address hand-printed to either BAUER PROMO1, Attention: Snipp Interactive Inc., 6320 NW 97 AVE, Doral, FL 33178 (if entrant is a United States resident) or BAUER PROMO1, c/o Snipp Interactive Inc., P.O. Box 34565, Place Cote-Vertu St. Laurent, QC. H4R 2P4 (if entrant is a Canada resident), postmarked during the Code Acquisition Period, and received no later than December 7, 2026.

All Free Play Requests submitted in accordance with these Official Rules by eligible entrants that are postmarked during the Code Acquisition Period and received no later than December 7, 2026 will be honored, while supplies last (“Eligible Free Play Requests”). For Eligible Free Play Requests that are received between September 1, 2025 and November 13, 2026 (“Standard Time Free Play Requests”), a free play message (“Free Play Message”) consisting of a QR Code and a Promotion Code will be mailed to the requesting Eligible Participant in the provided Return Envelope. However, for Eligible Free Play Requests that are received between November 14, 2026 and December 7, 2026 (“End Time Free Play Requests”), Sponsor or Administrator will review the eligible entrant’s randomly assigned Free Play Message on behalf of the Eligible Participant, and if it contains a Winning Prize Code, Sponsor or Administrator will email the Eligible Participant at the email address provided in his/her Card with verification and redemption instructions in order for such Eligible Participant to complete an alternative redemption/verification process to the online Code Redemption and Verification Process detailed in Rule 5, below, during the Code Redemption Period applicable to End Time Free Play Requests. For End Time Free Play Requests that do not get a Winning Prize Code (as determined by Sponsor or Administrator when it reviews the randomly assigned Free Play Message), no email (nor any other form of return Promotion-notification message) will be sent.  

All Free Play Requests must be postmarked during the Code Acquisition Period, and received by December 7, 2026 in accordance with all requirements set out above to be eligible. Each Free Play Request must be sent in a separate Outer Envelope with proper postage affixed, and each Outer Envelope must contain a separate Return Envelope for the Free Play Message to be returned in. The information and addresses on all Cards and Outer/Return Envelopes must be neatly hand-printed. Cards and/or Outer/Return Envelopes that utilize mechanically printed/copied/reproduced address labels or stickers; are stamped, computer-generated, or otherwise mechanically produced or reproduced; Cards and Return Envelopes that are not mailed in separate Outer Envelopes; or Cards and Outer/Return Envelopes that otherwise fail to comply with these Official Rules for any reason, will NOT be honored, acknowledged or returned, and will NOT qualify in the Promotion as an eligible Free Play Request.

5. CODE REDEMPTION AND VERIFICATION: Regardless of how the Winning Prize Code is obtained, in order to be verified as a Winner, during the Code Redemption Period the Eligible Participant that received a Winning Prize Code must complete and pass the “Code Redemption and Verification Process.” Except for End Time Free Play Requests, the Code Redemption and Verification Process consists of scanning the QR Code using a smart device (if you do not have one, you can borrow one or visit a library for access), which will take you to a landing page (the “Website”) where you must agree to the Official Rules and Sponsor’s Privacy Policy before inputting the Winning Prize Code. Then, you must (a) submit your first and last name, age, email address, country of residence and shipping/mailing address; (b) if you are a Canadian resident, correctly answer a timed mathematical skill-testing question without mechanical or other aid (which may, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Sponsor, be administered online, by email or other electronic means, by telephone, or in the Sponsor’s Prize Claim Forms) (the “Skill Testing Question”); and (c) if so requested, complete and return to Sponsor an Affidavit/Declaration of Eligibility and a Liability/Publicity Release (where legal) (“Prize Claim Forms”) along with the original Winning Prize Code, Golden Notification Stick, Code Sticker and/or QR Code.  

For End Time Free Play Requests that result in a Winning Prize Code, Sponsor or Administrator will email the potential winner an alternative Code Redemption and Verification Process. For certainty, any such alternative Code Redemption and Verification Process for End Time Free Play Requests will require a Canadian resident to correctly answer a timed mathematical Skill Testing Question without mechanical or other aid (which may, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Sponsor, be administered online, by email or other electronic means, by telephone, or in the Sponsor’s Prize Claim Forms). 

Completion of all or a portion of the Code Redemption and Verification Process using any robotic, automatic, mechanical, programmed or similar method (“Nefarious Methods”), or use of fake codes created using such Nefarious Methods, are ineligible and any participation in this Promotion or prize claims resulting from Nefarious Methods will be disqualified.

Each prize available to be awarded in this Promotion will be randomly seeded across all Eligible Packages and Free Play Messages. If an Eligible Participant receives a Winning Prize Code, such Eligible Participant will be deemed a “Potential Winner,” which means that participant must complete and pass (as determined in Sponsor’s sole discretion) the applicable Code Redemption and Verification Process described herein to be confirmed as a winner (“Winner”) and awarded the prize associated with the Winning Prize Code. The first person to scan the Winning Prize Code and complete the Code Redemption and Verification Process during the Code Redemption Period will be deemed the Potential Winner of the prize associated with that Winning Prize Code. If that Potential Winner is not verified in the Code Redemption and Verification Process, or if no Eligible Participant scans a Winning Prize Code during the Code Redemption Period (including, without limitation, if an Eligible Package is not purchased or a Free Play Message containing a Winning Prize Code is not distributed during the applicable period), the prize associated with that Winning Prize Code may go unclaimed, and may not be awarded.

Promotion Codes (including Winning Prize Codes), Golden Notification Sticks, QR Codes and Code Stickers have no cash value, and each code can only be used one time.

Sponsor reserves the right to offer the winner of a prize the option to substitute the prize with one of any value for any reason, as determined in Sponsor’s sole discretion (and, if the winner accepts such substitute prize option, the winner shall be deemed to accept the substitute prize (as awarded and subject to any applicable prize terms as may be stipulated by the Sponsor, in its sole and absolute discretion) in substitution for and in lieu of the original prize and the winner shall have no rights or claims of any kind whatsoever in respect of the original prize). Any charges and incidental costs associated with prize acceptance and use not specified herein as being included as part of the prize are the sole responsibility of each Winner. Sponsor is not responsible for the inability of any Winner to accept or use any prize. All prize details are at Sponsor’s sole discretion. Certificates of authenticity are not included with signed Mini Sticks. Second prizes are subject to all terms and conditions stated by the applicable issuer. 

7. PRIZE CLAIM FORMS PROCESS: If Prize Claim Forms are required to be completed and returned by a Potential Winner before a prize is awarded, and/or if a Potential Winner is required to submit the original Winning Prize Code, Golden Notification Stick, Code Sticker and/or QR Code, that Potential Winner will be notified online during the Code Redemption and Verification Process, and the Prize Claim Form will be made available to download on the Website. The Prize Claim Forms must be completed in their entirety without modification (including, without limitation and as applicable, providing a correct answer to the Skill Testing Question if the Potential Winner is a resident of Canada), signed and returned by the Potential Winner (or such Potential Winner’s parent/legal guardian if that Potential Winner is an eligible Minor in his/her jurisdiction of residence) as directed in the instructions for the Prize Claim Forms, within seven (7) days of the date the Winning Prize Code was verified and redeemed on the Website (or of notification by Sponsor or Administrator if an End Time Free Play Request), or the prize will be forfeited. If Sponsor requests the Potential Winner to send the original Winning Prize Code, Golden Notification Stick, Code Sticker and/or QR Code, it should be sent via certified mail, return receipt requested; and Sponsor advises keeping a photocopy of the submission. If Sponsor requests the Potential Winner to submit the original Winning Prize Code, Golden Notification Stick, Code Sticker and/or QR Code for verification and the Winning Prize Code, Golden Notification Stick, Code Sticker and/or QR Code is either not submitted; submitted late; copied, forged, counterfeited, altered or tampered with in any manner; damaged, defaced, or mutilated; or if Sponsor determines that the Winning Prize Code, Golden Notification Stick, Code Sticker and/or QR Code was not obtained through a manner described in Rule 4, it will be automatically void and that Potential Winner will be disqualified and lose any claim to the prize. If the Code Redemption and Verification Process is not fully completed; if the Prize Claim Forms (as applicable) or prize are undeliverable; if a Canadian resident fails to correctly answer the Skill Testing Question unaided in the time frame provided; if any Prize Claim Forms that Sponsor requests a Potential Winner to complete are not fully completed, signed, notarized (if so required) and returned within the time frame directed; or if Sponsor determines that a Potential Winner is not eligible or is otherwise not in compliance with the Rules, then that Potential Winner will be disqualified and the prize forfeited. All materials submitted in connection with the Promotion become the property of Sponsor and may not be acknowledged or returned. Unclaimed prizes, prizes that are not claimed in accordance with these Official Rules, prizes associated with Winning Prize Codes that are not distributed prior to the end date of the Promotion, and prize claims by individuals who do not properly complete or pass the Code Redemption and Verification Process, as determined by Sponsor, will not be awarded and will remain the property of Sponsor. Once Sponsor has received all required Code Redemption and Verification Process information, including as applicable, the Prize Claim Forms (and correct answer to the Skill Testing Question if the Potential Winner is a resident of Canada) and original Winning Prize Code, Golden Notification Stick, Code Sticker and/or QR Code from a Potential Winner by the due date, Sponsor will review such materials and determine if the Potential Winner has passed the Code Redemption and Verification Process, at which time Sponsor will (a) notify the Potential Winner by email that s/he has or has not been confirmed as an official Winner; and/or (b) if confirmed as a Winner, send the applicable prize to the Winner either by email (if a Second Prize) or via mailing/shipping address provided for other prizes, within approximately 4-6 weeks following completion of the Code Redemption and Verification Process. Sponsor’s decisions are final on all matters pertaining to the Code Redemption and Verification Process.
