The month's worst kept secret is now official - the Christmas Flamedeer are here to play!!

For anyone unfamiliar, we launch a herd of cute/scary cartoon Flamedeer around the website, and if you catch them you can win prizes, including two PS5s and five Xbox Series Ss! All of the information you need in order to play is on the special landing page which you can find >> here (https//ho…er)<<

And if you (or your kids?!) would like to colour in some cute, Christmassy deer, look no further: hukd.com/Col…ges

This thread is the place to ask any questions about the hunt or share tips about where you can possibly find those elusive Flamedeer. We also have a shiny new Flamedeer FAQ to help

If you have already caught some Flamedeer and would like to trade them for others, go HERE

Follow our hotukdeals Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/hotukdeals), Twitter account (https://twitter.com/hotukdeals) and hotukdeals Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/hotukdeals/?hl=en) and make sure you're signed up for Daily Picks (https://daily-picks.hotukdeals.com) to get as many clues as possible

You can download the full T&Cs for the competition >> here (http//ww…es) <<

IMPORTANT

Posting deals using the word Flamedeer, or voting like crazy, will not increase the likelihood of our Flamedeer appearing for you; in fact, it will usually make it less likely. Constant refreshing of the site will not help you either, in fact, our Flamedeer are rather shy and usually wait a bit before showing up.

The prizes!

NB - Following very high demand, the PS5 has been out of stock at all the retailers, so we can't guarantee that we'll be able to ship the PS5 immediately after the game ends. We are, however, doing our best to buy the console as soon as it gets back in stock. It's safe to expect delivery to take a couple of months though

FAQs

How do I play?

All hotukdeals members with an authenticated account can play and win. To play, you simply need to browse the website as usual and click on the Flamedeer appearing at random on your screen. The game can be played on our website and mobile apps.

They look something like this (image taken from a past game...)

What are Instant wins and what are collections?

Instant win Flamedeer are a guaranteed win, provided your participation is in line with our T&Cs. Collections are sets of matching Flamedeer (same type, "normal", "silver" and "gold" level) that must be collected in order to win: any complete collection is a win! This means there might be an unlimited amount of "normal" and "silver" deers, but only as many "gold" deers as there are prizes.

Can I only find gold if I already have the normal and silver of the collection?

Yes! One of each suffices, but you won't have a chance at catching a gold Flamedeer if you have only the normal OR silver.

How do I trade?

To complete your collections, please post a request in the dedicated thread and search for other members who have the Flamedeer you're looking for! You can then search their name on the Trade page of the game and chose from your and their collection what trade you want to offer. Once a trade has been accepted, it's forever! Make sure you know what you're accepting when someone offers you to trade: if you trade away a card you had only once, that's on you.

What are the badges and how do I get them?

Badges are little awards that mark specific achievements on our website. There are badges for a certain amount of votes, deals, comments or likes received, and many other things. This enables us to show appreciation to members who contribute significantly to the community!

During this game, some prizes are restricted to users who won certain badges – you must have won these badges before the beginning of the game to be eligible. Badges earned during the game will not be accounted for (but they will count for the next game).


Is the game really random?

Yes! Also Yes! and... Yes again! We improve our algorithm with every edition of the game to guarantee a completely random distribution of the Flamedeer.

Flamedeer Hunt T&C

THE GREAT XMAS HUNT 2020

1. The competition opens at 10/12/2020 15:30 and closes at 15/12/2020 15:30.
2. You must be a hotukdeals member (i.e. have an authenticated account on hotukdeals.com) to be able to collect Flamedeer and win a prize. hotukdeals registration is free and no purchase is necessary. Don't worry if you aren't signed up already though - users who create an account after the start of the competition can also participate.
3. Some prizes are reserved for users who have earned certain badges - and these must have been won before the start of the competition in order to qualify for these prizes.
4. Opening multiple accounts to play is not allowed and we will deal with this according to our general T&Cs. Use of scripts, extensions or any other tool in order to try to trick the game will not increase the chance of winning, and anyone caught cheating or using a script will be disqualified from the competition. In case of aggravated cheating (sharing a script to other users, etc), your account may be suspended or banned.
5. Flamedeers appear in a completely randomised manner - their appearance is not related to the amount of votes, thread posts, or comments made during the game. In other words, your actions on the website have no influence on the probability of seeing a Flamedeer. Members who flood or spam the website during the competition will be suspended, in line with our general T&Cs.
6. Golden flamedeers can't be traded. You need to obtain the normal and silver Flamedeer of a collection in order to be eligible for the related gold Flamedeer. Only one of each is necessary: higher amounts of Flamedeer in a collection don't have an influence on the winning probability.
7. Trading requests are limited to 10 outgoing pending requests. To unlock new requests, users may cancel a pending request. The trading of Flamedeer is voluntary and any accepted trade is final: users are kindly reminded to check the requests carefully before accepting or declining them. Pepper can not be considered accountable for a mistakenly accepted trade.
8. Only one player per household allowed.
9. Participants must be UK residents. hotukdeals may request proof of residence in order to approve a prize. If the winner can't or won't provide a proof of residence, the prize will be made available again.
10. Prize winners will be contacted within 7 days of the close of the contest via their registered email address, and prizes will be sent out within 90 days of their response. Instant win voucher codes are generally sent immediately, collection voucher codes can be sent manually per email depending on the value of the voucher.
11. Participants must make sure they have access to the email address registered on the site. hotukdeals bears no responsibility if winners can not be contacted due to an error on the winner’s side.
12. We will send an email requesting a postal address for the shipping of their prize to all the winners of a physical prize (excluding voucher codes and claim codes). The winners have 15 days to provide us with a valid and complete postal address. Should the winner fail to answer within those 15 days or should their answer be incomplete, the prize will be lost and attributed randomly to another eligible player.

We are, however, doing our best to buy the console as soon as it gets back in stock. It's safe to expect delivery to take a couple of months though.
