Magic Cards Delivered to My Door! How Does That Work?

After the MTG Arena event series ends, winners will receive an email with instructions for claiming their rewards. Winners will have 90 days from the end of the event to claim their rewards.

To claim rewards, players must complete the following required steps:

  1. Complete registration and identity verification of your eWallet account provided by our partner i-payout. This is to ensure you're eligible to receive the prize and to correctly track and file taxes.
  2. Place a free-of-charge order for your rewards and provide your shipping address to our partner Scalefast.

It may take up to three weeks for your order to ship after the estimated release date listed in your order confirmation email. We will keep you posted if there are any unexpected delays in the process.


What about Shipping Costs and Other Fees?

In most cases, all shipping costs will be covered free of charge. In some instances, there may be additional miscellaneous import fees for specific countries that we are unable to cover.

All rewards are subject to United States taxes, even if you live outside of the US. You may be able to recover these funds, but you will need to speak to a tax professional in your country.
