AGREEMENT TO THE OFFICIAL RULES:  By participating, Entrants agree to be bound by these Official Rules and the decisions of the Sponsor and/or the 3rd Party Verification Company, which are binding and final on all matters relating to this Rewards Program.  This Rewards Program is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws.  Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.

TO CHECK IN: Visit any of the Participating Establishments during the Promotional Period (“Participating Establishment”) and during the Participating Establishment’s regular posted business hours.  For a current list of all Participating Establishments, please visit (www.aeplayer.com).  To Check In (“Check In”), either enter all requested information on the AE Rewards Program Kiosk (“Kiosk”), where available, located at certain Participating Establishments and submit as directed, or download Accel’s AE Player App (“App”) on a compatible smart phone device and enter all requested information into the App while physically located inside a Participating Establishment.  Your physical presence inside a Participating Establishment will be required to properly Check In.  Incomplete Check Ins are void. Check Ins must be received by the end of each individual Check In period for a particular offered prize (“Giveaway Opportunity”).  There is no purchase or fee required to enter.  A purchase will not improve the chances of winning.  Limit one (1) Check In per person, per one (1) hour period, per Participating Establishment (via either the Kiosk or App).

Check Ins made by any other individual or any entity, and/or originating at any other event or method, including but not limited to commercial sweepstakes subscription notification and/or entering service websites, will be declared invalid and disqualified for this Program. In the event a dispute regarding the identity of the individual who actually submitted a Check-In cannot be resolved to Sponsor and/or 3rd Party Verification Company’s satisfaction, the affected Check-In will be deemed ineligible in the sole discretion of the Sponsor and/or 3rd Party Verification Company.

Only Check-Ins submitted in accordance with these Official Rules will be accepted. No telephoned, faxed, emailed, or mechanically reproduced Check-Ins, or Check-Ins generated by any means which subvert the Check In process, will be accepted.  3rd Party Verification Company, Sponsor and Participating Establishments are not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, unreadable, or misdirected registrations, which will be disqualified.  All Check-Ins become the exclusive property of the Sponsor and will not be acknowledged or returned.  3rd Party Verification Company has no obligation to advise an Entrant of an incomplete or otherwise non-compliant Check-In.

MEMBERSHIP STATUS LEVELS:  Membership Status Levels consist of “Member” Status Level, “Silver” Status Level, and “Gold” Status Level.  One (1) Check-In equates to one (1) Status Level Credit, unless Check-In occurs during a Multiplier Event (as defined herein).

• In order to qualify for and/or maintain Member Status Level, Entrant must earn and maintain between 0 and 50 Status Level Credits.
• In order to qualify for and/or maintain Silver Status Level, Entrant must earn and maintain between 51 and 250 Status Level Credits.
• In order to qualify for and/or maintain Gold Status Level, Entrant must earn and maintain 251 or more Status Level Credits.

Entrants’ Check-Ins will accumulate per quarter (for purposes of 2025, only: 12:00 AM CDT January 1, 2025 through 11:59 PM CDT March 31, 2025; 12:00 AM CDT April 1, 2025 through 11:59 PM CDT June 30, 2025; 12:00 AM CDT July 1, 2025 through 11:59 PM CDT September 30, 2025; 12:00 AM CDT October 1, 2025 through 11:59 PM CDT December 31, 2025) (each a “Quarterly Accumulation Period”). Membership Status Levels will carry over to the next calendar quarter; however, an Entrant’s Status Credits will reset to zero at the beginning of each calendar quarter. An Entrant must continue to Check-In over the course of the calendar quarter in order to maintain (or increase) his or her existing Membership Status Level.

By way of hypothetical example, only:  On April 1, 2021, Entrant begins Program at Member Status Level.  By June 15, 2021, Entrant accumulates 51 Status Level Credits and moves up to Silver Status Level.  On July 1, 2021, Entrant begins the calendar quarter at Silver Status Level, although his/her Status Level Credits reset to zero (0).  From July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2021, Entrant must again accumulate at least 51 Status Level Credits to maintain Silver Status Level starting on October 1, 2021, or he/she will revert to Member Status Level.

If an Entrant Checks In using a Kiosk or App that is offline (not connected to the internet at the time of the Check-In), the Entrant will only receive benefits associated with the Status Level the Entrant had reached at the time of his or her last Check-In on a Kiosk or App that was online (connected to the internet at the time of the Check-In).
