FAQs - Winning - Spot the Ball

How do I win Spot the Ball?

Each entrant will be shown an image from a game in which the image of the ball has been removed. They will be asked to pinpoint where they believe the position of the centre of the ball was located on the image before it was removed. This will be the location marked by our independent panel of professional judges, which will not necessarily be the actual position of the ball in the original image.


What happens when I win Spot the Ball?

When you win, Spond will send a link to the email address and/or telephone number provided by you at the time of entry (or as subsequently updated), which is securely stored in Spond’s database. The link will direct you to a page where a gift card can be selected, following which the gift card will be sent to your nominated email address.

It is your responsibility to check and update these details. If, for any reason, the contact details are incorrect, Spond will not be held responsible for not providing the prize. The gift card will be processed on behalf of Spond by our nominated partner, Rewards Genius.


How is the position of the ball decided?

The position of the centre of the ball is determined by an independent panel of judges with expertise in the relevant sport, appointed by Spond. When the panel of judges are determining the judges’ position, they use their sporting experience and expertise. The location marked by the judges will not necessarily be the actual position of the ball in the original image. The names of the panel of judges are available upon request.


How is the winner decided?

The computer will compare the judges' position against the database of coordinates submitted by entrants to calculate which entry is closest to the judges’ Position, and therefore wins the prize. The distance will be measured by calculating the straight-line distance from each valid and eligible entry to the judges’ position.


How long will it take to announce the winner?

The winner will be announced within 48 hours of the end of the prize competition. They will be contacted directly by the Spond team.
