The upcoming Profitable Week will bring a small change to the contest rules. Now the contestants need to pay an entry fee of US$1 to participate in the competition. This dab of money is a token charge for an opportunity to win the main prize – at least US$250 to your real account. We introduce this fee to decrease the number of people who register and do not participate in the competition. The guaranteed prize fund of US$500 and the bonus fund of US$1100 are provided for you to make sure that anyone can win the money back! See below an alternative option of free participation.
