This Promotion is a skill-based trading contest. Participation requires opening and closing eligible Kraken Futures positions during the Promotion Period. There is no random selection of winners and no purchase of goods or services is required to participate; however, participation and ranking are based on trading activity, which involves financial risk. See Section 12 (Risk Disclosures).
