NOTE: RRP will be terminated on 31 December 2011!
The program operates with a points reward system.
Mana Points are awarded for fixed and temporary parameters:
Fixed parameters:
40 Mana Points for each NEW player who registers himself via www.playmagic.eu and activates his account linked to your store by 31 December 2011 .
40 Mana Points for every player who plays his first reported Magic Event in your store, including casual play, by 31 December 2011.
Temporary parameters:
Campaigns: additional Mana Points can be earned through specific marketing actions for a limited period of time. These actions will be announced on the online platform.
All you need is a computer, an internet connection and your enthusiasm!
No you will not! You should convince the newcomer to really activate his account while he will be updated about upcoming releases and promotions via mail. Offer them the possibility to play in your store and meet other Magic fans. Offer them something extra when they return and participate in their first Organized play event. You, the retailer, will be rewarded to sign up NEW deck contacts in the Wizards Event Reporter .
Whenever you have Magic Events and Activities in your store, you can (and should) report them with the WER.
Unless it is a sanctioned tournament, you only need to enter the names and DCI numbers into the program. You will find that this is easily done; the program is very easy to use.
The first 2-3 times you use the WER, you might want to look into our Walkthrough.
For more information on casual play, go to http://www.wizards.com/WPN or contact your Wizards of the Coast distributor or representative.
Within the participating European markets, every ‘Bricks and Mortar’ store that is an active member of the Wizards Play Network (WPN) is entitled to take part in this program. The local Wizards of the Coast representative will evaluate this and authorize a store’s online application.
This promotional program is also only open to retailers from the following selected countries*: Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Eire, South Africa & Russia
* Other markets may join this program in the future. For the most recent list of participating markets, please check www.mymanapoints.com.
Unfortunately no.
But to enter the Wizards Play Network is easy. Just visit www.wizards.com/wpn check what opportunity the WPN has to offer to you and sign in. Your local Wizards of the Coast representative will happily assist you in running your first official Magic Events.
One way to do this is by using the posters that you can find on www.mymanapoints.com and promote the free sample decks in your store and at locations nearby where potential new players hang out. You could also set up an incentive for your current players to recruit new ones.
Additionally you could run a Magic demo day in your store where you teach people how to play.
By signing up and activating their account on www.playmagic.eu, newcomers will not only receive a free sample deck, but they will also receive regular newsletters to keep them informed of the upcoming releases and promotions. Offer them the possibility to play in your store and meet other Magic fans. Offer them something extra when they return and participate in their first event (casual or tournament).
Then why not enlist Magic Players to provide demos. If you are not able to perform demos yourself at any time, ask an existing Magic player or a judge in your store. Most players are happy to teach someone how to play their favorite game. Store credit or free Magic product is a great way to encourage your existing players to provide demos.
When new players come into your store to get a free sample deck, they will need to register themselves on www.playmagic.eu and you will have to make sure they activate their account. When their account is activated,they will receive a unique code* to come to your store and pick up a sample deck.
* the validity of the unique code will expire in case the newcomer registers at home and deletes his/her account right after receiving the e-voucher with the unique code for a free deck. You will get a notification when entering online this expired unique code.
When a player activates his/her account linked to your store by 31st December 2011, you will receive 40 Mana points.
You should give that person a great play experience, and talk about the different play programs that you run in store. Introduce the new players to other players in your store. Magic is a social game, and players are eager to meet others they can play with.
No, you cannot participate in this program if you choose to only run casual play events but not run Magic demonstrations. Each participating store will automatically be listed on our website as a store where newcomers can learn to play Magic and this should be truthful.
No. Running Magic events and being part of the Wizards Play network are key requirements for participating in the Retailer Reward Program. A Magic event can be casual or ranked to fulfill the requirement, and it does not necessarily need to take place in the store – as long as the play venue is a public space and linked to the store. For more information contact info@mymanapoints.com or for the UK, Eire & South Africa contact wizards@hasbro.co.uk.
Yes, the online platform offers the possibility to view first name and name of the new contacts you brought into the program provided that these persons agreed to share their data with their local store at the time of registration. Go to www.mymanapoints.com and select “My players” in the menu.
A contact who has not activated his/her account yet will be shown in italic. Remember only activated contacts (by 31 December 2011) generate mana points!
A contact who has not yet collected his/her gift will be underlined.
You will have a personal account on www.mymanapoints.com which gives you access to all the information related to your account including your points total. When you redeem points, these points will be deducted from your outstanding points total.
This is the most exciting part for you!
