The episode prize pack giveaways (each valued under $5,000) are open to legal residents of all fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia who are eighteen (18) years of age or older at the time of entry. No registration or bonding is required as each individual episode prize pack does not exceed $5,000 in approximate retail value.

Employees, officers, directors, agents, and representatives of THEORY1, Inc., its affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising and promotion agencies, prize suppliers, and the immediate family members (spouse, parent, child, sibling, and their respective spouses) or household members of any such persons are not eligible to enter or win.

Void where prohibited by law. All federal, state, and local laws and regulations apply.

Section 5
Eligibility — Grand Prize

The Grand Prize is valued in excess of $20,000. Certain states require contest sponsors to register and/or post a bond for prizes exceeding specific value thresholds. THEORY1, Inc. has elected not to register or bond in the jurisdictions listed below and residents of those jurisdictions are not eligible to enter or win the Grand Prize.

Grand Prize Ineligible Jurisdictions
New York · Florida · Rhode Island · Washington, D.C.

The Grand Prize giveaway is open to legal residents of the United States excluding New York, Florida, Rhode Island, and the District of Columbia, who are eighteen (18) years of age or older at the time of entry. Entrants in ineligible jurisdictions will be excluded from the Grand Prize drawing only — their entries will remain fully active for all episode prize pack drawings as described in Section 4.

All other eligibility restrictions from Section 4 apply to the Grand Prize drawing as well.

Firearm, Suppressor, and Regulated Item Prize Note: If the Grand Prize or any episode prize pack includes a firearm, suppressor, ammunition, or any other regulated item, the winner must be legally eligible to own, possess, and receive such items under all applicable federal, state, and local laws at the time of prize fulfillment. Firearms will be transferred through a federally licensed firearms dealer (FFL) in the winner's state of residence in accordance with all applicable laws. Suppressors will be transferred in accordance with the National Firearms Act (NFA) and all applicable regulations. In the event a winner is unable to legally own, possess, or receive any specific prize component due to state or local law, that specific item will be removed from the prize package and forfeited with no cash substitution, no alternative prize substitution, and no transfer of that item to a third party on the winner's behalf. Winner is responsible for all costs associated with the FFL transfer, NFA paperwork, and any applicable state or local fees. THEORY1, Inc. is not responsible for a winner's inability to legally receive any prize component and will not be liable for any resulting loss of prize value.

Section 6

Section 8
Winner Selection & Notification

Episode Prize Pack Winners: One (1) winner per episode will be selected from all eligible entries in the Entry Portal approximately seven (7) days after each episode's premiere. Selection is conducted through KickoffLabs' randomized drawing system, weighted by accumulated points. The more points an entrant has earned, the greater their statistical probability of selection. Selection is random among weighted entries and is not guaranteed by any number of points.

Grand Prize Winner: One (1) Grand Prize winner will be selected on August 22, 2026 at approximately 12:00 PM MT from all eligible entries accumulated throughout the full Promotion Period. The Grand Prize drawing is conducted separately from episode prize pack drawings and is weighted by total accumulated points.

Notification: Potential winners will be notified via the email address provided at entry within five (5) business days of the applicable drawing date. Potential winners must respond to the notification within five (5) business days of receipt. Failure to respond within five (5) business days may result in disqualification and selection of an alternate winner. Sponsor is not responsible for notifications that are undeliverable due to invalid or inactive email addresses, spam filters, or other technical issues.

Verification: Potential winners may be required to complete and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability Release, and where lawful, a Publicity Release within ten (10) business days of notification. Grand Prize winners will be required to submit a government-issued photo ID for age and residency verification. Failure to comply may result in disqualification.

Prior winners are eligible to win again. Winning a prior drawing does not disqualify an entrant from any subsequent episode drawing or the Grand Prize drawing.

Section 9
Taxes & Reporting

All prizes are awarded as-is. Winners are solely responsible for all applicable federal, state, and local taxes on the value of any prize received. THEORY1, Inc. will issue an IRS Form 1099-MISC to any winner whose prize value meets or exceeds the applicable IRS reporting threshold in the calendar year the prize is awarded. Winners may be required to provide a completed IRS Form W-9 prior to prize fulfillment. Failure to provide required tax documentation may result in forfeiture of the prize.
