There are more ways than one to earn when you’re a Mistplayer, and this year we rolled out a brand new way to win big: Mistplay Sweepstakes.

In January and September 2023, we held two sweepstakes in the US, each with prizes totaling $10K USD. The sweepstakes are all about having fun, so entry is simple. In January, users had to maintain a Daily Streak in any game, and in September we partnered with Playtika and counted entries for maintaining a Daily Streak in their hit game, Board Kings.

With hundreds of thousands of players and millions of entries across the sweepstakes, it’s clear that Mistplayers love a challenge, so keep an eye out for more ways to win in 2024.
