Eligibility 

  • Check out the Terms of this campaign and make sure that you meet all the requirements.
  • I won a Victory Royale but did not receive a win notification
    Make sure you met all the following conditions
    • Live in one of these countries: United States, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom.
    • Achieve Victory Royale in Solo mode.
    • PC only, no consoles.
    • Have Overwolf installed, updated and running during the game (with the app ReplayHUD, and your Game Summary enabled through the game overlay settings - check out this video to make sure you got this covered!)
    • Own a Twitter account and a PayPal account to redeem your prize (note that in order to purchase Vbucks, your paypal account has to have a credit card as well)
  • Can I win more than once? Every participant can only win one $10 transfer, winning more than once, or even in both weekends of the challenge, won't get you another reward.
  • I don't have a Twitter / Paypal account(s) The 10$ reward can only be transferred to you via Paypal, you can create an account for free but you need to have a credit card in order to purchase Vbucks in Fortnite (don't forget to verify your email, or it won't let you log in and claim your reward). Sharing the win on Twitter via the Game Summary is a must for getting the reward, no exceptions here and also no using another person's account (can only win once).
  • Can I somehow participate if I don't live in one of the countries listed above? No.
  • Can I participate in the challenge playing Fortnite on a console? No, Overwolf is an app store with apps for PC games only, this is why all Overwolf campaigns and challenges are exclusive for PC.


Notifications

  • Why am I seeing a notification in-game? The notification informs you of an available challenge tailored for you, which action to perform and what will be your prize if you beat the challenge.
  • How do I know if I won?  A second notification will pop-up as soon as you achieve Victory Royale, letting you know that you have completed the challenge. A confirmation of your win, as well as your connection to PayPal and video, will be presented in the Game Summary.
  • I received a win notification but closed the Game Summary, what do I do? You can re-open the game summary by clicking on the taskbar Overwolf tray icon and choose "Game Summary".
  • In-game notification is interrupting my gameplay, how do I turn it off? Notifications will appear only ONCE. We don't want to ruin your game experience in any way.
  • I saw the win notification in game, but see nothing in Game Summary Make sure you didn't disable the Game Summary or GIFcam\Replay HUD.
  • What if I do not want to participate? You can disable the Game Summary so you won't receive any event notification in your next run. Please note that disabling the Game Summary will remove your game highlights (kills, headshots, death... etc).


Share issues

  • I can’t share my video Please make sure to contact the Overwolf Support with a screenshot of your Game Summary window.
  • I don’t see my browser window so I cannot share In order to share your video, Overwolf will use its own browser to pop the Twitter login. Pick it up from your taskbar if you don't see it.
  • I shared my video, how do I get my prize? Once you shared your video you will see a button to connect to PayPal - click it! you will be asked to log in to PayPal and then $10 will be transferred directly to your account. Please note that in order to purchase Vbucks, your PayPal account has to have a credit card. As long as your PayPal balance is equal to or higher than the price of what you're buying, the PayPal balance will be charged before your credit card. So in short - you get rewarded 10$ on PayPal, and then you can buy 1000 Vbucks with those 10$. Here you can find PayPal's official 'About Payment Methods' page and this is the part we're talking about :) *Please note that the reward is given in US dollars and is always 10$ (not Euro or any other currency).

If you have any questions regarding the redeem process - worry not - we have created a video in this article check it out


  • I do not have a PayPal account You can easily create a PayPal account through the PayPal connect dialog. Please note that in order to purchase Vbucks, your PayPal account has to have a credit card. Don't forget to verify your email, or it won't let you log in and claim your reward. You can't use the same paypal account to claim more than one reward, so no Paypal sharing with other people.
  • I shared my video through the Game Summary but did not receive a PayPal button Please make sure to contact the Overwolf Support with a screenshot of your Game Summary window.
  • I shared my video - how do I know if I won the $2500 Alienware gaming rig? Once you shared your video you are automatically in for the raffle. Follow our twitter account, the winner will be announced at the end of the campaign.
