OKX will release a two-tiered NFT drop in celebration of its partnership with McLaren Racing Limited (“McLaren”). The first-tier NFTs will celebrate individual races in McLaren’s 2024 Season. The second-tier NFTs will commemorate McLaren’s 2024 Season at the year’s end. Some of the NFTs will have prizes, as described in more detail below. You may not participate in this Sweepstakes if you are located in any of the Restricted Jurisdictions set forth in Section 2.

  2. Eligibility:  To participate in this Sweepstakes, you must be at least eighteen (18) years old and the age of majority in the country you reside. The following people are not eligible to enter, however:

  3. Entry Periods: The Sweepstakes starts on 7 June 2024 and ends on 23 December 2024. The Sweepstakes is divided into 16 entry periods, each one of which corresponds with a race McLaren Racing’s 2024 season, starting with the Canadian Grand Prix, plus an additional 17th post-season entry period (each, an “Entry Period”). Click here for a current schedule. Each of the first 16 Entry Periods will start at 10:00 AM GMT on the Friday before the race and end at 10:00 AM GMT on the Monday after the race. The 17th Entry Period will start at 10:00 AM GMT on 13 December 2024 and end at 10:00 am GMT on 23 December 2024. OKX’s computer is the official time-keeping device for the Sweepstakes.

  4. How to Enter:  

    • Click here to log in to your OKX Web3 wallet. If you do not have an OKX Web3 Wallet, you can download the OKX mobile app or desktop app from the relevant app store and make one for free. Click here for additional instructions.

    • Mint an NFT during any Entry Period. If you mint an NFT during the first Entry Period, you will be airdropped the NFTs from the previous 5 races within seven days. If you collect all 24 NFTs in the collection, you will also have an opportunity to mint an NFT during the final  Entry Period. 

    • The following details apply to Races 1-16, as further described below: The minting window for every single race in the 2024 calendar, starting from the Canadian Grand Prix, will open at 10am GMT on the Friday of a race weekend, and will close at 10am GMT the Monday post race day. During the minting window, the NFTs will appear as a mystery box in users’ wallets/ dashboards. NFTs will be automatically updated by 00:00 on the Wednesday post race to reveal whether an entrant has won a prize. Prizes must be redeemed (i.e. claimed) within 3 weeks of the minting window closure (i.e. three weeks from the Monday 10am GMT post the race). Unclaimed prizes will expire after this time. The minting, redeeming and expiry period for each subsequent NFT drop will follow the exact same time frame.

    • For example, for Race 1 Canada Grand Prix: The mint window will open at 10am GMT Friday 7th of June 2024 and will close at 10am GMT Monday 10th June 2024. The NFT will be automatically updated in the users wallet by 00:00 on Wednesday 12th 2024  to reveal whether an entrant has won a prize. Users then have three weeks from the time the minting window closes, so until July 1st 2024 in this example to redeem any associated prizes. Unclaimed prizes will expire after this time. 

    • There is a limit of one (1) entry per person per Entry Period. By entering, you represent that (a) you are not located in any of the Restricted Jurisdictions, (b) that you agree to these Official Rules and the OKX Web3 Wallet Services User Agreement, and (c) that you agree to OKX’s decisions regarding the Sweepstakes, which are final and binding. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements in these Official Rules.

    • After the Canadian Grand Prix, any user holding a Canadian Grand Prix NFT will be automatically airdropped a classic edition of the previous Grand Prix’s in the F1 season (which are: Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Japan, China, Miami, Imola, Monaco). 

  5. Selection of Winners: For Entry Periods 1-16 (2024 McLaren race schedule) and Entry Period 17 (year-end NFT), everybody that mints an NFT will be entered into a chance to be entered into a prize-winning opportunity. Mints for each Entry Period are open at the times listed in Sections 3-4. In other words, all eligible participants receive an NFT with its rarity to be determined. From there, all eligible participants who minted an NFT will be entered into a computer-generated program for the selected number of prizes for that Entry Period, as provided in Section 7. The odds of winning a prize depend on the number of eligible participants who mint an NFT for a particular Entry Period. Winners will have three weeks, from the time and date the minting window closes, to redeem their NFT prize within the OKX marketplace. In order to 'redeem' the prize, the user must select the rare or ultra rare NFT in their dashboard, click 'redeem' button, and enter their contact and shipping details. OKX or their partner representatives will then be in contact (via the email details provided by the winner) within 30 days to arrange the specific prize details with the winner.

  6. Potential Winner Requirements:  Except where prohibited, a potential winner may be required to complete and return a declaration of eligibility and liability/publicity release. If a potential winner fails to sign and return these documents within the required time period, he/she will forfeit the prize.
