Sweepstakes Rules Monthly Prize Draw
Last updated: 2 June 2026
These Sweepstakes Rules govern the monthly prize draw of two hundred fifty euros (€ 250), organised by Vindbaar in connection with the Image Review platform (imagereview.com). By participating in the prize draw, the participant accepts these Sweepstakes Rules.
1. Organiser
The prize draw is organised by:
Vindbaar Jan van der Heijdenstraat 26k, 3261 LE Oud-Beijerland, the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce number 86539515 Email for complaints and correspondence: [email protected]
2. The prize draw
Vindbaar organises in each calendar month an independent draw among all valid entries submitted in that month. The winner receives a cash prize of two hundred fifty euros (€ 250). The promotion runs on a rolling monthly basis and is continued month after month without prior announcement, unless Vindbaar modifies or terminates the promotion in accordance with Article 13.
The total annual prize pool amounts to no more than three thousand euros (€ 3,000).
3. Eligibility
Participation in the prize draw is open to:
a. natural persons aged 18 years or older at the time of submission;
b. who legally reside in a country in which this promotion is lawful and not prohibited;
c. who submit a valid Review entry through an Image Review platform as described in Article 4.
The following persons are excluded from participation:
a. employees of Vindbaar and any affiliated entities;
b. partners and household members of such employees who reside at the same registered address (other family members not residing in the same household may participate).
Participation is free of charge. No communication costs are charged to the participant beyond the participant’s own internet costs.
Void where prohibited by law. The prize draw is null and void in any jurisdiction where it is prohibited or restricted by law. Participation is not permitted from residents of jurisdictions where prize draws of this nature are unlawful. By participating, the participant warrants that participation is lawful in their place of residence.
4. How to enter
A participant enters by submitting a Review on the Platform. A valid entry consists of:
a. an honest evaluation, based on the participant’s own experience, of a product or service offered by a Brand listed on the Platform;
b. a photograph of the product actually received or service actually rendered;
c. a valid email address and a name at which the participant can be reached;
d. confirmation that the participant is at least 18 years of age and accepts these Sweepstakes Rules and the Privacy Policy.
No purchase necessary. Submission of a Review does not require any purchase. The participant need not have purchased any product or service from any Brand to participate in the prize draw, although the Review must relate to a product or service the participant has personally experienced.
5. Entries (Lots)
Each valid Review entry earns the participant one (1) lot in the prize draw for the calendar month in which the entry is accepted by Vindbaar. Participants may submit multiple Reviews per month and thereby earn multiple lots. Reviews may also concern different products of the same Brand, provided each entry describes a separate product or a materially different experience.
Lots are personal, non-transferable and have no monetary value outside of this promotion.
6. Valid entry and Moderation
A Review entry qualifies as a valid lot only after automated Moderation has been performed. Vindbaar uses for Moderation a specialised AI model provided by Anthropic (Claude). The Moderation assesses both the text and the accompanying photograph for:
a. authenticity and origin (whether the Review appears to reflect a genuine user experience);
b. relevance to the Brand or the product;
c. the absence of hateful, offensive, discriminatory, violent or otherwise inappropriate content;
d. the absence of evident commercial content, fake content or automated submission.
Where the Moderation system holds sufficient confidence (threshold 0.55) that an entry is acceptable, the entry is automatically approved and qualifies as a valid lot. Entries falling below that threshold are not automatically rejected but are referred to manual review by a Vindbaar staff member. The entry counts toward the draw only after approval.
Vindbaar reserves the right to refuse entries or subsequently disqualify them where reasonable doubt exists as to their authenticity, accuracy or compliance with these Sweepstakes Rules, without being obliged to further substantiate any such decision.
7. Selection of winners
The draw for a given calendar month takes place within fourteen (14) days after the end of that month. The winner is determined by a random algorithm (Mersenne Twister pseudo-random number generator) applied to the complete set of valid lots from the relevant month. The draw is therefore independent, cannot be influenced by Vindbaar or third parties, and is verifiably random.
One (1) winner is selected per calendar month. A participant shall receive at most one (1) prize per month, regardless of the number of lots with which the participant entered that draw.
8. Prize and payment
The prize consists of a cash amount of two hundred fifty euros (€ 250), or the equivalent in another currency at the prevailing exchange rate at the time of payment. Vindbaar transfers the prize to a bank account in the name of the winner. Transfers within the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) are made in euro; transfers to bank accounts outside SEPA may be made via an international wire transfer or comparable mechanism at Vindbaar’s discretion, with any associated bank charges being deducted from the prize amount.
Following confirmation of the bank details, payment takes place within fifteen (15) business days.
The prize is personal and non-transferable. Exchange for cash by other means, for vouchers or for other goods or services is not possible.
The winner is solely responsible for any taxes, levies or duties due in their country of residence in respect of the prize. Vindbaar does not withhold taxes on prizes paid to participants outside the Netherlands. For winners resident in the Netherlands, the prize is below the Dutch gambling tax (kansspelbelasting) threshold and no withholding is required.
9. Notification of the winner
The winner is notified within fourteen (14) days after the draw by email at the email address provided by the participant. The winner must respond within fourteen (14) days of receipt of that email and provide the bank details necessary for payment. If the winner fails to respond within that period, the right to the prize lapses and a new draw shall be held among the remaining valid lots of the same month.
Vindbaar shall not publicly disclose the winner’s full name unless the winner has expressly consented in writing. With the winner’s consent, the Platform may include a mention containing only the first name and place of residence.
10. Fraud and disqualification
Vindbaar shall disqualify participants and their entries immediately and without refund or compensation upon reasonable suspicion of impropriety, including but not limited to:
a. the submission of false, fabricated or third-party-written Reviews;
b. the use of photographs not taken by the participant themselves or not relating to the product reviewed;
c. the use of automated tools or multiple accounts to multiply lots;
d. providing false personal data or deliberately circumventing age or residence requirements;
e. attempting to manipulate the Moderation system or the draw.
Prizes already awarded may be reclaimed where fraud is established after payment.
11. Donations to charitable organisations
In addition to the monthly prize draw, Image Review supports impactful charitable organisations. For each accepted Review submission, Vindbaar makes a donation to one of the affiliated charitable partners (such as Eden Reforestation, Plastic Bank, Made Blue, Justdiggit and Bee Foundation), with the specific recipient charity being determined through an animated wheel mechanism.
This donation goes directly to the charitable organisation and does not constitute a prize for the participant. The donation mechanism therefore does not constitute a sweepstake, lottery or game of chance. The reference to the donation mechanism in these Sweepstakes Rules serves only the purpose of transparency toward participants.
12. Personal data
For the conduct of this promotion, Vindbaar processes the following personal data of participants:
a. name and email address;
b. the content of the Review entry, including the uploaded photograph;
c. technical entry information (IP address, timestamp, browser);
d. bank details of the winner, used solely for the payment of the prize.
The legal basis for this processing is performance of a contract (these Sweepstakes Rules) and, for Moderation, Vindbaar’s legitimate interest in preventing abuse and fraud.
For the Moderation of Reviews and photographs, the text and image of the entry are transmitted to Anthropic, established in the United States, acting as a processor on behalf of Vindbaar. This transfer takes place on the basis of Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission as an appropriate transfer mechanism under the GDPR.
Personal data are retained for as long as relevant to the promotion and the Platform, with a maximum retention period of seven (7) years for administrative purposes (in line with applicable accounting record retention requirements). Reviews themselves remain publicly visible on the Platform until the submitter requests removal.
For a complete description of the processing of personal data, the rights of data subjects (including the rights of access, rectification and erasure) and the contact details for privacy requests, reference is made to the Image Review Privacy Policy, available on the Platform.
13. Copyright and licence
By submitting a Review and a photograph, the participant grants Vindbaar a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to use, display, reproduce and distribute the text and photograph in the context of the Image Review Platform, on associated Brand Pages and in promotional communications of the Platform. The participant represents and warrants that they hold all rights necessary in respect of the content submitted and that the submission does not infringe any third-party rights.
The participant retains copyright in the submitted content and may request removal of their submission by writing to [email protected].
14. Liability
Vindbaar is liable only for direct damages that are the direct result of wilful misconduct or gross negligence of Vindbaar itself. Liability for indirect damages, including loss of profit, consequential damages and intangible damages, is excluded to the extent permitted by law.
Vindbaar shall not be liable for:
a. malfunctions, errors or delays in the electronic transmission or receipt of entries or emails;
b. data entered incorrectly by participants, including incorrect email addresses or bank details;
c. acts or omissions of third parties (including Anthropic in its capacity as Moderation processor and payment service providers);
d. content submitted by participants that may, with or without Moderation, appear on the Platform.
Nothing in this Article shall limit or exclude any liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded under the mandatory consumer protection laws of the participant’s country of residence.
15. Modifications and termination
Vindbaar reserves the right to amend these Sweepstakes Rules and to amend, suspend or terminate the promotion during its term, for reasons including but not limited to changes in legislation or regulation, technical or operational necessity, or fraud. Amendments shall be published on Vindbaar’s website and shall enter into force upon publication. The version in force at the time of submission applies to that submission.
Outstanding lots from a month for which no draw has yet been held shall retain their validity upon termination until the conclusion of the draw for that month.
16. Complaints and disputes
Complaints concerning this promotion or its administration may be submitted in writing to [email protected]. Vindbaar shall respond within fourteen (14) days of receipt.
These Sweepstakes Rules are governed exclusively by Dutch law, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer protection law of any consumer’s country of residence. Disputes that cannot be resolved by mutual agreement shall be submitted to the competent court of the District Court of Rotterdam, location Dordrecht, the Netherlands, unless mandatory law designates another competent court. Consumers residing in the European Union may additionally rely on the Online Dispute Resolution platform of the European Commission, accessible at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
