For each entrant, the Sweepstakes begins at 12:00:01 a.m. on June 12, 2026 and ends at 11:59:59 p.m. on June 12, 2026 in that entrant’s local time zone, as determined by Sponsor’s systems (the “Sweepstakes Period”). Sponsor’s computer is the official timekeeping device for this Sweepstakes.

BY PARTICIPATING IN THIS SWEEPSTAKES, YOU AGREE TO THESE OFFICIAL RULES, WHICH ARE A CONTRACT, SO READ THEM CAREFULLY BEFORE PARTICIPATING.

1. SPONSOR: The Sponsor for this Sweepstakes is Whatnot Inc. (“Company” or “Sponsor”), 2261 Market Street STE 10754, San Francisco, CA 94114.

2. ELIGIBILITY: Open to legal residents of the United States (including the District of Columbia, but excluding Florida and New York), the United Kingdom, France, Canada (excluding Quebec), Australia, Germany, and the Netherlands who are at least eighteen (18) years of age and the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence. Employees, officers, directors, and agents of Sponsor, any company involved in the administration or fulfillment of the Sweepstakes, and their respective subsidiaries and affiliated companies, and each of their immediate family members and those living in the same household, are not eligible to enter or win. Sponsor reserves the right to verify the eligibility of winners. Sweepstakes is void where prohibited by law.

3. HOW TO ENTER:

You may enter the Sweepstakes in one of the following two ways:

a. Eligible Purchases: Make an eligible purchase on Whatnot during the Sweepstakes Period in a live show. Each eligible purchase will receive one (1) entry, up to the entry limit below. Refunded, cancelled, chargeback, or otherwise invalid purchases will not receive entries, and any corresponding entries may be voided.

b. Alternate Method of Entry (AMOE): To enter without making a purchase, enter your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and Whatnot account name via the following Google Form (also available in French and German) during the Sweepstakes Period. Each valid AMOE submission will receive one (1) entry, up to the entry limit below.

Entry Limit: Limit five (5) total entries per person during the Sweepstakes Period, regardless of method of entry or combination of methods of entry. All eligible entries, regardless of method of entry, have an equal chance of winning and will be pooled together for the drawing. A purchase will not increase your chances of winning.

Entry Conditions: Automated entries, bulk entries, entries submitted by third parties, incomplete entries, and entries that do not comply with these Official Rules are void. If Sponsor determines, in its sole discretion, that an entrant has used or attempted to use any automated, bulk, third-party, fraudulent, or other improper method to enter, Sponsor may disqualify all of that entrant’s entries. In the event of a dispute about entry timing, entrant local time zone, eligibility, purchase status, or number of entries, Sponsor’s records will control.

4. SELECTION OF WINNER: On or about June 18, 2026, Sponsor will select one (1) potential winner in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received. The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received. The potential winner will be notified on or about June 18, 2026 via email to the email address associated with their Whatnot account. If the potential winner is a resident of Canada, they must correctly answer a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question without assistance before being declared a winner.

Each potential winner must sign and return, within seven (7) days of notification, an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release, and an IRS Form W-9 (for U.S. residents) or Form W-8BEN (for non-U.S. residents), in order to claim the prize. If a potential winner is a non-U.S. resident, prize award is subject to applicable withholding taxes as required by U.S. law. If a potential winner cannot be contacted within five (5) days of the first notification attempt, fails to return required documents within the specified time period, fails to correctly answer the skill-testing question (Canada only), or is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor may select an alternate winner from the remaining eligible entries. Sponsor reserves the right to not award the prize if it is unable to confirm an eligible winner after a reasonable number of alternate drawings.

Verification of Potential Winners: ALL POTENTIAL WINNERS ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY SPONSOR, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE SWEEPSTAKES. AN ENTRANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE UNLESS AND UNTIL ENTRANT’S ELIGIBILITY HAS BEEN VERIFIED AND ENTRANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THAT VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE.

5. PRIZE: One (1) prize will be awarded. The prize consists of Whatnot app credit in the amount of 10,000 units of the winner’s local currency, based on the winner’s country of legal residence as verified during winner confirmation (the “Prize”). For example: USD $10,000 for a U.S. winner, CAD $10,000 for a Canadian winner, GBP £10,000 for a UK winner, EUR 10,000 for an eligible Eurozone winner, and AUD $10,000 for an Australian winner.

Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”): 10,000 units of the winner’s applicable local currency. Winner is solely responsible for any related expenses. Limit one (1) prize per person and per household. The Prize is subject to Whatnot’s applicable credit terms and is not redeemable for cash except where required by law

PRIZE RESTRICTIONS: All applicable federal, state, local, and foreign taxes on the prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. For U.S. residents, Sponsor will issue an IRS Form 1099-MISC for the prize value. For non-U.S. residents, Sponsor will withhold applicable taxes and report the prize on IRS Form 1042-S. Prize cannot be substituted, assigned, or transferred by winner; however, Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value at its sole discretion. Sponsor will not replace any lost or stolen prize. Only the number of prizes stated in these Official Rules is available to be won. If, by reason of a print or other error, more prizes are claimed than available, the winner will be selected in accordance with the winner selection method described above from among all eligible claimants.
