Program Basics
How do I enter and why should I register?
To enter, click on register now on the
Arcade homepage in the upper left hand corner. We will then ask for some basic information from you, like name and email address. Once you have registered, you are on your way to start playing games and earning tickets, then, you can start entering for a chance to win!
It is important to register because this will allow your tickets and game scores to be tracked and added to your profile. When you register for the first time, you will automatically receive 500 tickets.
What is My Arcade Profile?
'My Arcade Profile' is your personal dashboard of your actions in the Arcade and Rewards Store. Here you can see your current tickets, lifetime tickets, and view your top game scores. You can also see your Favorite Games, view your Badges and view your recent sweepstakes entries. Plus, if you want to see your top game scores, see the link here.
Where are my favorite games located?
Just click on My Arcade Profile and you'll find My Favorite Games showing all games that you've selected as favorites.
Where can I find my ranking?
You can view your ranking by clicking on Find My Ranking in the Arcade Leader board at the bottom of the HSN Arcade home page. Make sure to select All Time if you'd like to see your overall ranking. This is calculated based on your lifetime tickets, so entering sweepstakes will not affect your ranking at all.

Arcade Tickets and Badges
What are tickets?
Tickets are earned while playing games. They have no monetary value, but can be used to enter our sweepstakes in the Rewards Store.
What is the definition of Current Tickets and Lifetime Tickets?
Current tickets: The number of available tickets in your profile right now.
Lifetime tickets: The total number of tickets you have earned since joining the HSN Arcade.
How do I know how many tickets I have?
You can check your current tickets in My Arcade Profile. But please note: You must register and have a nickname in order to save and view your tickets.
How can I earn more tickets?
You earn more tickets by playing more frequently in the Arcade. The more you play games, the more tickets you will earn!
How can I use my tickets?
Use your tickets to enter for a chance to win. Visit the
Rewards Store and see what sweepstakes catch your interest. The sweepstakes are always being updated and refreshed, so keep coming back!
My Arcade Profile is showing the incorrect amount of tickets, what should I do?
We are sorry about the problem you are experiencing. Please try these steps to ensure that your tickets will be credited properly:
Make sure you do not leave an HSN Arcade game inactive in the middle of a play session. This can cause tickets to not be reported, since the game session and connection will expire if activity is not detected.
Also, if your internet connection is not consistent, this can cause tickets to be lost. Wireless connections are less reliable than wired and longer games have a greater chance of experiencing a disconnection than shorter games.
If you are still experiencing issues, send us an
email and will do our best to resolve the issue.
Where did missions go?
HSN missions are now being replaced with better games, more ways to earn tickets and better rewards to win.
Where are my badges?
Badges on the profile page have been removed in an effort to simplify the Arcade and make it easier for you to play, earn and win

Rewards Sweepstakes
Who is eligible to enter for a chance to win prizes?
Rewards are open only to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are at least 18 years old. Prizes can only be delivered to U.S. street addresses. Sorry, we cannot ship to P.O. Boxes.
Can I enter multiple sweepstakes?
Yes, you can enter multiple sweepstakes. The number of tickets you have will determine how many sweepstakes you can enter. So keep playing and earning tickets so can enter more sweepstakes.
Can I enter the same sweepstakes more than once?
The number of allowable entries will vary depending on the individual sweepstakes. See the details of each sweepstakes to determine the maximum number of entries allowed.
Can I enter sweepstakes every day?
Based on the number of tickets you have in your account, you may enter a sweepstakes every day.
How can I see what sweepstakes I have entered?
All of this information is available for you! Click My Arcade Profile, then My Sweepstakes. After entering a sweepstakes, you'll be able to view current and past sweepstakes entries and number of times you have entered. Your current tickets and lifetime tickets can both be viewed by clicking on My Arcade Profile.
What is the clock above each sweepstakes?
The clock above each sweepstakes serves as a countdown clock. It tells you how long each sweepstakes will be open for entry. So don't delay - enter your favorite sweepstakes!

Rewards Winners
How can I find out who won?
You can find out the potential winners of each sweepstakes by visiting the
Rewards Winners Page. Please keep in mind the information you see on this page is not legally verified.
How do I know if there was or was not an alternate winner pulled for the individual sweepstakes?
We will only be posting the nicknames of the winners initially selected as winners. In the unusual event that a player cannot be awarded a prize and an alternate must be chosen, we will not be going back and updating the online winners list. The mail-in winners list will include all of the confirmed winners who were awarded prizes, so if you need this information, the mail-in list is the definite way to get it.
I was listed on the Rewards Winners page, but no one contacted me- what happened?
The information that appears on the winners' page is not legally verified. You will be contacted via email if you are the potential winner. If we do not hear back from you within the time allotted in the Official Rules, your win will be forfeited and an alternate winner may or may not be selected.
How long will it take to receive my prize if I am the verified winner?
After your information is verified and you have returned the requested documentation, you will become a verified winner. The prizes will be shipped within 5 to 8 weeks after verification.
