High Roller Wednesdays Rules
Wednesday, October 31, 2007 5:25 PM

 Alright, get ready for High Roller Wednesdays!!! Sandi and I have worked our butts off getting everything ready for today. However, we couldn't work our butts fast enough and had to push it back another week or so. All you get today is a nice teaser as to what you should expect for the start of the contest. We didn't want you to think this was going to end up like National Treasure hunt II did... Also, if you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments! I tried to be as thorough in the rules as possible but sometimes its not good enough.

 

High Roller Wednesday Official Rules

High Roller Wednesdays is a new contest at SteepleMedia.com. It will take place on the Entertainment blog (The Dish) and the games blog (Winners Circle). The two blogs will host this game and it will only be about those two blogs. Each contestant will answer a number of questions and possibly win fantastic prizes.

Eligibility

Contestants must be twelve (12) or older to play. Only one entry per person. If a contestant enters more than once, the first entry will be accepted.

How to play

Read the entertainment blog (The Dish) and the games blog (Winners Circle) during the two (2) weeks prior to the contest. Then on Wednesday, a series of one (1) to five (5) questions will be posted on both blogs at 12:00 PM EST (NOON). The contestants have from 12:00 PM EST until 6:00 PM EST to submit their answers. To enter, simply answer the questions in an email addressed to either sandi@steeplemedia.net or zach@steeplemedia.com.  Please, in the subject line, have it say something like “High Roller Wednesdays” so that we do not think that the email is a spam message. PLEASE NOTE: If a contestant posts answers in the comments (either correct or incorrect) the questions will be thrown out and a new set will replace them. In addition to that, the contestant who posted the answers will not be allowed to answer the new questions.

How to win

After 6:00 PM EST, Sandi and Zach will look through all the entries. The entry with the most correct answers will win a prize. In the event of a tie, the contestant who submitted earlier will win the prize. (Spectators will look first at hour, then minute, then second. If there is still a tie, the contestants will be asked another question. First contestant to answer it will win.)

What you win

The contestant that wins High Roller Wednesdays will be named the champion for a week. As a champion, the contestant will have the option of taking the prize or risking it for another week. The champion can be named “champion” for fifteen (15) weeks in a row. The contestant who is named champion cannot lose during his streak. In the event that he does lose during his streak, he will lose any and all rankings in the “champion chart”. Each stage, the prize is more and more expensive increasing from $2 to $150.

Keep your eyes peeled today for a post fro Zach which will go over the rules to our new game.

You are going to LOVE it :) 

Zach and I love giving away prizes and we want YOU to win them!

 

On another note, my sincerest thanks and gratitude to the "crazy ladies" and all of the wonderful people who support the Winners Circle and who very generously last night decided to show that appreciation by sending me a gift card!

You guys are too much! Very very sweet but don't ever do that again :)

Your comments, posts in forum and emails are honestly the only reward I need! 

Special thanks to Slokay, Unilab, Gplash, MustangChick, Scoutmom, Zach, Jbadis, Webyongzy, Soccer-ref, Baxter, DumbBlonde, GoldGuy, and Winnie

In to Win Apologies!
Tuesday, October 30, 2007 1:37 PM

 My apologies!

Things are crazy over here right now with my family staying and 2 birthdays and school parties and what not...

I didn't even have time to arrange a guest poster!

Here are my top 3 though if you really want to win stuff right now

1/ BIDCRAP - This is so easy to enter, there is no point NOT giving it a go! No referral system here.

2/ ESCAVENGERS - I have officially won my 3rd time, so that's both Scout and I whose sole purpose of playing for the next year is to help YOU win!!! (and get some doubloons haha) Seriously, this is really rather easy to win once you get the hang of it. Get in now whilst there are still not too many people competing. They do have referral bonus on this but no referral link, so you have to email me your email and then I can refer you. Referrals will be eligible to win a Gift Card when I have enough doubloons to claim one.

3/ BP SWEEPS - no I haven't seen a Steep win an actual prize yet apart from points BUT the fact that so many of us are winning points leads me to believe that the odds are really rather good on this. It is pretty simple to enter also, so why not give it a go? This is a referral link - if you use it to join, let me know and I will send you a small gift! Top prize this week is a PS3 - AWESOME!

 

Don't forget to keep plugging away at Club Live, Jellyfish and Tanga! And Wlappas' eprize list is there for you on forum if you want to go play some instants :)

 

TOMORROW (if I can squeeze in the time!) LOOK for our NEW CONTEST details. It's a team effort of Zach's and mine and we are very excited about it! It is going to be lots of fun and we have a TON of PRIZES to give away just in time for holidays :)

Check This Out! 10/29/07

Here's your chance to share any cool sites you have come across this week!

Please restrict sites shared to those related to the Winner's Circle interests:

*Games - puzzles, problem solving, any game where team work helps

* Contests and Sweeps -  especially ones where team work or puzzles are involved or where we benefit from working together! We still have INSTANT wins on Tuesdays, so try to save those for then

* Shopping bargains, deals, coupons, rebates etc

* Anything where prizes are involved!

 

NOTE on REFERRALS - If you would like to post something which benefits from referrals,  please do NOT post your own referral link. Zach or I will set up a Steeplemedia link for any sites like that, so that any benefit arising from the referrals will be shared amongst referrals. We will post that link as soon as it is done. Any personal referral links may be deleted if posted, although we will be happy to use your referral link to create the Steeple account!

As always when signing up, using a referral link is totally optional and up to you! However, if we do ever have prize draws resulting from referrals (like we did recently for Jellyfish) only those who used the referral link will be eligible. 

I look forward to seeing what you find!

OH Did I post a link to the Dale and Thomas $20 gift card, or did we just do  the free sample bags? Mine still hasn't shown up so I'm not sure about this - plus if you know this stuff, you know that to use your free $20 you'll likely have to spend about $30! However, it is VERY VERY tasty popcorn!

Win on Wednesdays! Coming soon....
Wednesday, October 17, 2007 12:00 AM

We are working on some new ways to win prizes RIGHT HERE on SteepleMedia every Wednesday!

We have some pretty nice prizes to give away :)

Hint: it may PAY to be 'up' on what's going on in The Dish and Winner's Circle blogs :D

In to WIN!!! 10/16/07
Monday, October 15, 2007 11:13 PM

Ok, I want to see WINNERS!! Lots and lots of WINNERS!

Please let us know if you won anything from Covet also - those results will hopefully all be posted today too. I have my fingers crossed very very tightly for a Covet gift bag :)

1/ EBAY shop victoriously - cash PayPal deposits ranging from $50,000 to $25. 

2/ CIRCUIT CITY - don't you just love electronics? Awesome sweep prizes plus instant cash prizes of $5 up to $500 in Circuit City Gift Cards. Hmm looks like you get the instant win part in email. This is just for sweeps. Watch your inbox!

3/ SHUTTERFLY - $10,000 sweep, plus $200 instants. Not great odds at first glance, but far less people playing this I think.

4/ CATHAY PACIFIC - Just to experience FIRST CLASS tickets to anywhere, I'm in! This is a $29,000 First prize though, so you'd have to pay taxes accordingly on that, making it still an expensive, but really nice trip Otherwise enter to win shuffle, CD, or Cathay Pacific gear instantly. 

5/ Got Monopoly fever? Try this one from HARRAH'S and BOYD'S - win trips and gift cards. I'm not too fond of casino instants - ignore the questionaire and it's pretty painless.

6/  HONDA ACCORD - I need some more free music downloads! Plus I'm in to win a car - sweet! Pretty good chance of winning music downloads here.

7/ SOUTHWEST - win an airline ticket instantly! Cool!

8/ IGT - $150,000 prize! Plus chance to win 1 of 61 digital cameras instantly. No guarantee anyone will win the top prize though, so beware! I found the game kinda annoying also...

9/ CONAGRA SHREK instant - win cool Shrek products for the kids and $1000 Visa card for you :)

10/ SONY SPIDERMAN instant win - cool Spiderman stuff for the kids, $50,000 cash for you :D

Good Luck Folks!

Post your wins anytime, but make sure to come back and post on Fridays too so we can see them all together!
