Hello everybody. I know the contests are only for americans but i expekt an answer for my following question: if i win a prize (let`s say 1000$ or 25.000$) and I am not from USA (come from Europe) but I have some friends or relatives in USA, can I receive my prize? I mean, can you send the prize to those friends or relatives and after that they send it to me? I want just to know if I am struggling at Streak Survivor for a reason, if I can receive an eventually prize. I repeat, I am not an american resident, I am not a citizen from USA but i have some friends and relatives who live there and can receive a prize from Covers.


Thank you very much for paying attention and I am expekting an answer from the staff members.

Hey Mate....unless you are a resident of Canada or the USA   you are ineligible to win prizes.

I send this question to Rizzo and he gave me the following answer:

"Your in luck! We recently changed to paying our cash winners through Paypal so everyone in the world can accept them!

So if you qualify for a cash prize your all good but unfortunately you can not get any of the hat or hoodie prizes"



So, from now on can participate anyone, no matter he is american or not. Now, the only matter is how to make 17 consecutive correct picks or more

Cool! Now go and get that money, MadDog888 and all of you other fellas around the globe! Good luck guys. Also, good luck Tuppy on your quest for a second hundred grand prize. You can do it!

It`s absolutely incredible, 10 years from the starting date of this contest and nobody gets the 100.000$. Tuppy was so close!


For me is very difficult to watch the games, all the games are played during the night (there is a 7 hours difference between my country and yours) and there is no channel to broadcast the games, I have to watch the games on the internet. But i love so much the american games!

I must let you know that Tuppy did indeed win the $100,000 dollars prize, MadDog! He is the ace around here. I was born in the USA and I have to agree with you that American sports are awesome! I am glad that you enjoy them as well. Between the MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL and NCAA, there is certainly no shortage of entertainment or betting opportunity to be had. Good luck to you, MD.

He won? I saw he was 22 in a row and that`s why I believed he won just 25.000$.

Oh yeah. There's that. Now I know why you are confused. You see, the rules were different  back when Tuppy won. It was necessary to get 21 wins for the grand prize when he won it. Shortly after Tuppy's win, they raised the required number to 25 wins. Getting to 21 wins was and still remains an awesome feat! only now, it is worth 75k less for some reason.

Anyway, the prizes are huge and the contest is awesome, it`s really really great to have the opportunity to play here. Above all, having fun is the most important thing!

I am going to sleep now, it`s 05:00 a.m!

I found this in rules section  `

To be eligible to receive prizes, entrants must be legal residents of the United States or Canada, 18 years of age or older (if the age of majority in a jurisdiction is different than 18, you must be the age of majority within your jurisdiction to be eligible to receive a prize) with a valid internet e-mail address. Any and all contests and promotions offered by Covers Media Group Ltd. are void in all United States territories (e.g. Guam and Puerto Rico), and the Province of Quebec, and where prohibited by law. If a Canadian resident is deemed eligible to win a prize, in order to be awarded such prize, the Canadian resident will be required to correctly answer a time limited mathematical skill question.

If they have opened it up to folks from other parts of the world  they need to change the rules!
