How to Play - Carréjoue

In general, there are five things to keep in mind.

First, if you make a mistake in your selections online or in the app, but have not selected the PAY NOW button, you can correct the mistakes or cancel the entire process and start over.

Second, cards may be purchased up to three different ways, depending on your location and laws of the jurisdiction – online, by kiosk or by staff assistance.

If using staff assistance, they will make sure you complete each of the steps below in purchasing game cards and they can answer questions. It is wise to get a paper ticket even if you have an account. Please check all tickets for accuracy, cancel and correct any errors immediately before the Sporting Event begins.

If using a kiosk, it will limit your wagers to the correct jurisdictions. You will be able to select whether you want a paper ticket only, add the cards to your online account or both. Cards added to your online account can be viewed on a computer or your smart phone. If you do not have an account, create an account now. Download the App Now

With no account, you can get paper tickets. You need the validation codes to redeem for winnings, so do not lose them. However, you do not need to fill out the cards on the ticket, but you can. The important item, if you do not have an account, is the validation code.

Please check all tickets for accuracy, cancel and correct any errors immediately before the Sporting Event begins.

If you purchase the cards online, either by computer or the App, or place them online in your account at one of our kiosks or with staff assistance, the validation code is now linked with your account.

Third, as long as you do not choose the Mark Your Own feature or choose the fail-safe mode in such instances, there is no way you will not receive your winnings from a winning card.

Our system holds, maintains and validates your cards with no further action.

Fourth, you can no longer cancel a game card once the Sporting Event begins.

Finally, if you do not have an online account, do not lose your paper ticket since you will need the Validation Code to collect your winnings.

ONLINE several paths will lead to this starting point.

Choose the correct date of the sporting event you desire. Depending on what view you have available, it will be headed by either games, teams, locations, event categories or dates.

If you have a list of games available, simply scroll to the sporting event (or team) you wish to play, select it and an appropriate location choice, then continue on with the rest of the selection process.

If you have a list of Event Types, you will select a category you desire. Then, select the date, team or game you want to play and continue on with the rest of the selection process. If no dates or games show up, there are no sporting events in that category available within the coming two weeks.

If your screen comes up on a location selection, it means the system has recognized you are in an arena or stadium. IF YOU WANT to play that sporting event in the local pool, confirm that location and continue on with the rest of the selection process. IF YOU DON’T WANT to play the local pool, select the EVENTS button to go into the general selection process.

Back to top

If you are in a stadium or arena, the location selection may be the first screen you see. If you want to play in the local pool of the sporting event you are attending, confirm the local selection and continue on with the selection process. If you are in an arena, but would like other locations choose the EVENT button to enter the general selection process.

Usually after you select a sporting event, the process will require you to choose a location. All locations because of government regulations will require your device to detect your location. Please allow us to access your device's location information. It must be in a valid jurisdiction for the location you choose.

If you choose local from this setting and we cannot determine you are in the arena or stadium, you can enter information off the Event’s ticket to enter the local pool. In this way, you can get your card purchases before the Event. Please have your Event’s ticket available as information on the ticket will be required to register for the local pool in this manner. The game software will lead you through the registration process.

A number of locations might be available for selection, but registration will only be allowed if your location matches the geo location restrictions of the government regulations.

National is allowed in Nevada, New Jersey, some Native American nations and some foreign jurisdictions. This is the largest of pools with the most entrants.

Regional is limited to players in specific locations. Choosing the selection should bring you to the game selection screen, if your geo location matches the requirements of the Region selected. For example Oregon residents will be able to play in the Oregon Pool. Similarly, players on the Salt River Nation or Algonquan Nation can play in their regional pool.

Organized pools require a pass code you will need from the game organizer. You will need to obtain it before proceeding with the rest of the selection process.

This will eventually determine the cost of your card. Pools are segregated by Location, Base Price and the Winning Patterns selected. Ultimately, this cost will be multiplied by the number of cards purchased, any multiplier chosen.

The Base Price is $ 2.00, $ 20.00 or $ 200.00. Click here for more on cost of cards.

One is the only selection here that will allow you to later populate your own defined results. In other words, you can enter defined results in each square for the card you create.

Purchasing more than one card will increase the cost to play, but it will give you more chances to win. For example, two cards with a $ 2.00 Base Price entered in only the Line (L) winning pattern would cost $ 4.00. Similarly, two cards with a $ 2.00 Base Price entered in the Line (L) and Blackout (B) winning patterns would cost $ 8.00.

Back to top

This is the equivalent of buying the same card multiple times. Unlike selecting a number of cards with different pre-populated defined results, this is purchasing cards with the same pre-populated defined results.

Also, if you purchase a number of cards as explained above this selection will now multiply each of those cards by the multiplier you select. For example, in the Number of Cards section above, the two cards selected would now all get any multiplier selected. So a 2x multiplier would in effect be those two cards played twice each.

Being able to choose your own defined results later is not affected by this selection. The card you create in that selection process will be multiplied by this selection.

There are six Winning Patterns that may be selected as follows:
Line (L)
Diagonal (D)
Postage (P)
‘X’ or Small Box (X)
Half Blackout (H)
Blackout (B)

Back to top

Line (L) is any vertical or horizontal line of matches. There are ten possible winning combinations. Click link to see the patterns: Lines

Diagonal (D) is five matches in a line from either the bottom left square to the top right square or in a line from the top left square to the bottom right square. There are two possible winning combinations. Click link to see the patterns: Diagonals

Postage (P) joins the Line (L) as the only patterns not requiring the middle square. This unique prize pool pays when any two of the three available patterns are Marked on the same card. The three available patterns are: matches in all four corners, four matches making a small box in the upper left, or four matches making a small box in the lower right. Two of the combinations require seven squares and one requires eight squares. There are three possible winning combinations. Click the link to see winning patterns: Postage

‘X’ (X) or Small Box are two patterns each requiring nine matches. An ‘X’ is both of the completed diagonals – top left to bottom right and bottom left to top right. A Small Box is the middle square of the game card and every square surrounding the middle square. There are two possible winning combinations. Click the link to see these patterns: ‘X’ and Small Box

Half Blackout (H) can come eight possible ways. However, they all require fifteen matches in their unique patterns. Click the link to see the patterns: Half Blackouts

Blackout (B) is the entire game card, every single square, has a match. This is a rare result and a rare reward if your card can make this pattern. Not only have you won every other Betting Pool entered for that card, this rare result rewards a jackpot. More on Jackpots

Unlike most of the betting pools where you can wager multiples of money to win a multiple share of the betting pool, the Blackout (B) betting pool only allows you one bet per game card. If you make a Blackout (B), most likely, you will be the only winner of the betting pool. So our company does not want you to enter it twice when you will likely win the same share either way.

While it is likely you are the only winner, if multiple winners do occur the jackpot is split. However, our company guarantees a minimum payout of $3,500.00 for a Blackout. See Past Jackpots

So in case of a split all winners will win at least $3,500.00. See Current Jackpots

Three possible select your own options are envisioned. Two, currently unavailable, will be playable only electronically. See more details.

The existing feature available allows you to choose the defined result of each square. Choosing this option, you must select the defined result you want in each square.

All other squares will be filled with the default defined result. The default defined result is the most common defined result that may occur in that type of sport.

Select the indicator for each square on the card. Accidentally got the wrong indicator, simply select the one you intended. Only one indicator can be present in each square.

Again, if no indicator is present in a square and you move on to make payment for the card, those squares will default to the most common defined result for that type of sport. If you realize a mistake prior to advancing to the payment option, you can make corrections.

Calculating the cost of the cards is based on four factors:

Base Price - $2.00, $20.00 or $200.00.
Number of Cards purchased.
Card Multipler purchased.
Winning Patterns selected.

If you have an online account and created or linked your game cards online, then your account will be automatically credited for any winnings.

If you have an online account and linked your game cards there when purchasing the game cards through a kiosk or a staff assistant, before the EVENT starts, double check that the paper ticket contains your email or other login name. If your login name appears on the paper ticket, the game cards will be in your online account. Once there, your account will automatically be credited for any winning tickets.

If your login name does not appear, you can login to the app or website and enter your validation codes to place them in your online account or go to a staff assistant for help. This can be done at anytime. It does not need to be done before the EVENT begins. If the EVENT is over, a paper ticket can be redeemed at a kiosk, in most cases, or with a staff assistant. Also, the Validation Code can be entered to review winnings or placed into your online account once logged into the app or website.

No online account, create one now. This is definitely the easiest way of playing. If you do not have an online account, be sure to keep the paper ticket you received from the kiosk or staff assistant. The important part is the Validation Code.

Back to top

Please keep your Validation Codes secret unless you go to the app or online and link your game cards to your account. Going to the app or website, without logging on, Validation Codes can be entered to see if any game card is a winner.

Logging in online or on the app, then entering the Validation Codes off a paper ticket will link those game cards to your account. In which case, any winnings will be placed in your account automatically.

Using a paper ticket (game card), you can go to a kiosk or staff assistant for payout. There is no need to mark your winning squares unless you have chosen the Mark Your Own option.

Redeeming paper tickets (game cards), within one year of purchase, can be done in most cases at a kiosk or with a staff assistant. Kiosks however cannot pay out a winning ticket of greater than $500.00. Also, if the kiosk is low on funds, it may not be able to pay out a winning ticket.

Staff assistants can payout larger amounts as well as all other tickets. Sometimes the presentation of a large winning ticket will require additional security validation at the location, but a valid ticket will be paid, if presented within one year of purchase.

Paper tickets can also be mailed to the point of purchase, click here for addresses, for redemption. Please include the winning ticket, a page or index card with the winner’s name and address, along with a self-addressed and stamped return envelope. The postage (stamped) envelope should include insurance if desired by the winner. Locations will mail a certified or company check in the winner’s name to address on the stamped envelope provided.

FINALLY, if you have a winning ticket and create an online account, create now, you can login, then enter or scan the Validation Code into your account and your online account will be credited the amount of the winning ticket.
