PayByChance offers users the chance to win prizes through a draw system when they make transactions at participating merchants. This is a promotional game of chance, not gambling. Participation is voluntary and does not guarantee any winnings.

  • Access: Initiate a transaction through a participating merchant or directly on the PayByChance platform.
  • Ticket Purchase: Voluntarily buy a ticket at the current ticket price to enter the draw.
