Eligible entrants: Entry is open to all Australian residents aged 18 years and above.  Employees, management, agents, in-house contractors of the Promoter or its related entities (or immediate family members of such people) or of retailers or agencies associated with the Promotion and the resultant draw are ineligible to enter. 

How to Enter: To enter the Promotion, a person must, during the Promotional Period, visit Yellow Brick Road’s website (ybr.com.au/mates) and elect to enter either as an Individual Entrant (“Individual Entry”) or as a Joint Entrant (“Joint Entry”).

To enter as an Individual Entrant, a person must be a new customer of YBR Home Loans who has not previously applied for a home loan through a YBR Home Loans mortgage broker. An Individual Entrant must complete and submit the entry form, which includes their full name, email address, phone number, consent to be contacted by a YBR Home Loans mortgage broker, and consent to receive email communications from Yellow Brick Road. Once the Individual Entrant has submitted the entry form, they will be entered into the Promotion. 

To enter as a Joint Entrant with another person (“Referred Mate”), a person (“Referrer”) must be an existing customer of YBR Home Loans who has applied for a home loan through a YBR Home Loans mortgage broker. The Referred Mate must be a new customer of YBR Home Loans who has not previously applied for a home loan through a YBR Home Loans mortgage broker. The Referrer must complete and submit the entry form, which includes the Referrer’s full name and email address, and the Referred Mate’s full name, phone number and email address (which the Referrer must ensure that they have permission to provide). Yellow Brick Road will then contact the Referred Mate via the email address provided, enabling them to opt in to receive any further email communications from Yellow Brick Road and to be contacted by the Referrer’s YBR Home Loans mortgage broker. The Referrer’s YBR Home Loans mortgage broker will contact the Referred Mate to set up an appointment to discuss their home loans options. Once the Referred Mate has attended such an appointment, both the Referrer and the Referred Mate will be entered into the Promotion.

Entries permitted: Entrants who submit multiple entries for the Promotion will be regarded as having entered only once. Entrants can only submit entries for the Promotion in their own name. Entering the Promotion under a false name/s will invalidate all entries.

Total Prize Pool: AUD $40,000.00 in total. 

Prize Description: Individual Prize: AUD $10,000 per winning Individual Entry. Joint Prize: AUD $20,000, to be shared equally between the two (2) entrants of a winning Joint Entry.

Winning Method: Draw: Computerised random selection to take place at 12:00pm AEST on Wednesday, 4 September 2024 at Yellow Brick Road, Level 11, 1 Chifley Square, Sydney NSW 2000.

The draw will continue until the entire prize pool of AUD $40,000 is distributed. If a valid Individual Entry is drawn, that entrant wins an Individual Prize of AUD $10,000. If a valid Joint Entry is drawn, the two (2) entrants win a Joint Prize of AUD $20,000, to be shared equally between them. The process repeats until the total prize pool of $40,000 is exhausted. For example, if two Joint Entries are drawn first, the total prize pool of $40,000 will be exhausted and the draw will conclude.

In addition, the winners’ details (their full names and postcodes) will be published at YBR.com.au/mates/winners by Wednesday 18 September 2024 for thirty (30) days.
