Here are the updated Official Terms for the Magic Online Player Rewards program. These rules go into effect on December 26, 2012.

Earn Rewards for Playing Magic Online!

What is the Magic Online Player Rewards program?
The Magic: The Gathering Online Player Rewards program (MOPR) offers players the chance to earn digital promo cards for their monthly Magic Online activity. This activity includes playing in tournaments of a sufficient size and/or making purchases in the Magic Online Store.

When does the updated program period start?
The Rewards Program begins at 8:00:00 A.M. Pacific Time (PT) Zone in the United States on December 26, 2012 and ends at 07:59:59 A.M. PT on December 25, 2013. ("Rewards Program Period").

Who can join it? How much does it cost?
This program is open to anyone who has created a Magic Online account that is in good standing and meets the Magic Online Player Rewards eligibility requirements. We only ask for a valid email address (so that we can contact you about the program). The Eligibility Requirements and Official Terms of the program can be found below.

How do I sign up for the program?
You must read through the Magic: The Gathering Online® Player Rewards Program Official Terms at the bottom of this page. If you agree to the terms and agree that you are eligible, either log in to Magic Online, go to Menu - Settings - Personal Settings, and select “YES, I have read the eligibility requirements and am eligible to participate in the Rewards Program” in the Player Rewards Eligibility section.

Why is an email address required?
First, this is how we verify that you are the owner of the Magic Online account that you are receiving rewards for. Your account’s security is important to us.

Second, by having your correct email address (and if you have opted in to receive the Magic Online newsletter) we can send you benefit notifications, along with other program information and news items. You can choose not to have these notifications and news items sent to you, but we think you'll find these to be a solid benefit. Your accurate email address is also required in case we need to contact you regarding the status of your account or changes in the program.

If an email is returned due to an invalid email address, we may withhold or cancel membership benefits. Please update any change in your personal information in the Magic Online game client or by contacting Wizards of the Coast Game Support.

When does a month end or the next one begin?
Each MOPR monthly period ends at the start of final scheduled downtime of each calendar month. The next monthly period begins after that downtime is over.

For example, the January 2013 season ends at the beginning of the January 30 scheduled downtime and the February 2013 season begins immediately after this downtime is over. See the chart below for the 2013 Magic Online Player Rewards Program monthly periods:

Monthly Period Start Date End Date
January 2013 December 26 January 30
February 2013 January 30 February 27
March 2013 February 27 March 27
April 2013 March 27 April 24
May 2013 April 24 May 29
June 2013 May 29 June 26
July 2013 June 26 July 31
August 2013 July 31 August 28
September 2013 August 28 September 25
October 2013 September 25 October 30
November 2013 October 30 November 27
December 2013 November 27 December 25

Please note: All monthly periods begin after the scheduled downtime on the Start Date and end at the beginning of the scheduled downtime on the End Date. If there is no scheduled downtime when a monthly period would end, then that period ends at 8:00 AM Pacific Time (PT).

What types of promo cards will be given out in this program?
A wide variety of promotional cards will be available. These include, but are not limited to, well known promo cards previously released in paper Magic, premium foil versions of cards, alternate art cards, and textless spells.

How do I get the promo cards?
Once you have agreed to the Magic Online Player Rewards Official Terms, your Magic Online Player Rewards progress for the current monthly period begins. The period ends on the last scheduled downtime of the calendar month. Your Sign-up Date is the date that we activate your membership (not necessarily the date you created your Magic Online account). At the next monthly disbursement, we will verify your Magic Online account activity and grant your rewards using the guidelines below:

Activity Reward
Participate in at least one (1) Constructed, Sealed Deck or Draft Tournament with a minimum of eight (8) players Standard non-foil Event Participation promotional card
Participate in at least five (5) Constructed, Sealed Deck or Draft Tournaments with a minimum of eight (8) players Premium foil Event Participation promotional card
Full $20.00 USD spent in the Magic Online Store (excluding coupons, shipping, and taxes. Standard non-foil Store Activity promotional card

Promo cards are added directly to your collection during the earliest possible downtime of each following monthly period (Please note: this distribution may not always occur during the first downtime of each new monthly period). You can earn a maximum of four (4) promotional cards in a monthly period.

How often are the reward cards changed? Will the cards only be available for a limited time?
Promo cards will be updated every month. Wizards of the Coast reserves the right to rerelease promo cards as needed.

The "authorized account holder" is the natural person assigned to an email address by an Internet service provider, online service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain.

6. REWARDS QUALIFICATIONS: Sponsor will award Rewards to participants based on their qualifying activity in Magic Online.

Each player's qualifying activity is calculated at the end of each monthly period and Rewards Qualifications are determined at that time. Each monthly period ends at the start of the final scheduled downtime of each calendar month. The next monthly period begins after that downtime is over. Please refer to the schedule set forth in the web rules located at http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=magic/online/rewards/welcome. Qualifying player activity and/or Rewards Qualifications cannot be carried over between monthly periods.

7. PROMO CARDS:Sponsor will add Magic Online digital Promo Cards directly to each participant's account based on his or her Rewards Qualifications during the monthly period. The Sponsor will award these cards on a monthly basis. Each Rewards Qualification entitles the qualifying player to a specific promo card. The Rewards are as follows:

Activity Reward
Participate in at least one (1) Constructed, Sealed Deck or Draft Tournament with a minimum of eight (8) players Standard non-foil Event Participation promotional card

Full $40.00 USD spent in the Magic Online Store (excluding coupons, shipping, and taxes) Premium Foil Store Activity promotional card

Where appropriate, the rewards will be determined on a cumulative basis, based on the player's Reward Qualifications. For example, if a participant participates in one eight-player Constructed tournament and spends a full $40.00 USD (excluding coupons, shipping, and taxes), that player will earn three promo cards: one non-foil Event Participation promo card, one non-foil Store Activity promo card, and one foil Store Activity promo card.

The Promo Cards will be awarded within approximately 15 days of Sponsor's verification of the qualifying activity. No transfer, substitution or cash equivalent for Promo Cards is allowed, except at Sponsor's sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a Promo Card, in whole or in part, for another Promo Card of equal quality at its discretion.
