We're adding new partners and qualification options regularly. For updates follow us on Twitter, Facebook or Insta and check our news.
Are you allowed to win multiple packages?
The number of packages varies by operator and/or campaign, each with its own terms and conditions. Mostly, you can only win one package per campaign. If you’re unsure about any details, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us through our social media channels.
Are you allowed to win multiple Main Event seats?
The answer here is 'Yes'. You are allowed to win multiple seats. At the designated event, the following rules apply:
1) Tickets must be used for Main Event
2) Once you reached day 2 / ITM then any remaining online pre-qualifiers ME tickets can be converted and used as tournament credits for other events at The Fedtival in question to which the player qualified them to.
Is the city/tourist tax included in my Full Package?
No, the city (or tourist) tax is not included in the package.
Some cities require visitors to pay a local city or tourist tax directly to the accommodation. This tax is set and regulated by the local municipality and is not related to the hotel or the Festival, and therefore cannot be included in the package.
The amount varies depending on the destination and local regulations. If applicable, this fee must be paid directly by the participant at check-in or check-out.
We recommend checking the specific city’s policy in advance so you can be prepared.
