Players are solely responsible for any such wireless charges.     There is a limit of one play per person per day (as defined below) but if you play ten (10) consecutive days in a row, then on the tenth day you may play one (1) additional time on that same day (a “Bonus Play”).

All federal, state and other tax liabilities (including income taxes and withholding taxes) arising from each prize awarded in this Game will be the sole responsibility of each corresponding prize winner. The award of each prize with an ARV exceeding Six Hundred United States Dollars (US$600) will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), as required by U.S. law using an IRS form 1099 and/or such other form(s) as are required by federal law. If applicable, Sponsor shall also report any winnings as required by applicable state law(s) using such form(s) as are required by applicable state law. Each winner subject to any such reporting requirements agrees that the ARV assigned to each prize herein and to be reported to the taxing authority is reasonable, and agrees not to dispute the amount of the ARV assigned to such prize.  In the event Sponsor is required by law to withhold U.S. federal or state withholding tax from any prize awarded (and pay such amount directly to the IRS or a state taxing authority), then Sponsor shall withhold any such amount and make such payment to the IRS and/or taxing authority to the extent sufficient cash is awarded as part of such prize. In that instance, if there is not sufficient cash available as part of the awarded prize to pay the entire withholding taxes required, then the prize winner shall be required to provide Sponsor with the funds sufficient to pay the required withholding taxes before the prize winner may receive the prize. If the prize winner in that instance fails to provide Sponsor with funds sufficient to pay the required withholding taxes within the deadline established by Sponsor, then the prize winner may be disqualified.  7.
