What is Chase the Ace?Chase the Ace is a form of lottery that has gained popularity since 2013 in parts of Canada to raise funds for charities. Each week participants buy tickets. A ticket is drawn each week the winner receives 20% of the weekly sales. The winner also then draws a card from a standard deck of playing cards looking for the ace of spades. If the ace of spades is found, the weekly winner also wins the 30% progressive jackpot. The other 50% of the funds go to charity

I'm having problems with my credit card. What do I do?There can be a lot of reasons credit cards get declined. A raffle is a form of gambling and as such a gambling-friendly credit card processor must be used. More familiar credit card processors such as Paypal and Stripe do not support gambling and therefore cannot be used. We use a company called Paysafe. Our processor accepts Visa Credit, Mastercard Credit, Visa Debit and Mastercard Debit. The postal code inputted also has to match the address on file at your bank. If you have moved, please ensure your postal codes match. If you have a prepaid credit card, it may not work as there has to be a postal code associated with the card. If you've recently had suspicious activity on your card, your bank may also deny the processing of the card. This is for your safety, and there is nothing we can do to help you, however you can always try another card.

I'm in Saskatchewan but the site says I'm not. Why?Through experience we have found that this is indeed very possible. Here are some scenarios: 1. Bell phones get geolocated in Calgary 2. If you're on a corporate network, you may be located wherever your head office is. Geolocation is not a perfect science. It definetely makes mistakes. We can only recommend using a different device or even trying switching your connectivity. If you're using cellular, try turning it off and using wifi. If you're using wifi, try turning it off and use cellular. Every circustance is different. We are genuinely very sorry for any inconvenience but SLGA regulations have to be followed.

My mobile provider is Bell and I can't buy a ticket. Why?Bell phones get geoloated to Calgary. That is not a Tap50:50 issue. it is a Bell/Sasktel issue. We can't do anything about this, and we are just as frustrated as you are. The best thing to do is try another device. It may also work if you turn off your cellular and just use your local wifi.
