Espacejeux Celebrates “10 Years of Ta-Dah!” with $100k Giveaway

Arrival of 2020 marks 10 year anniversary for online casino Quebec.

2020 Marks 10 Year Anniversary for Online Casino QuebecIt’s finally here – the new year, a new decade, a time to look back on the wonders of recent past, and reinvent yourself for the bright future ahead. While you’re at it, you might as well take advantage of some rare opportunities afforded by Quebec’s home-grown and locally regulated online casino.

Espacejeux.com is celebrating its 10 year anniversary in 2020. Anyone who’s followed them in the previous decade may remember that promotions aren’t their strong point. There’s no big welcome bonus package for new players; no weekly or monthly reload bonuses; no free spins on the slot machines for your birthday. So when I heard Espacejeux was hosting a six-figure cash prize giveaway, it caught my attention.

10 Year Anniversary for Online Casino Quebec

It was January 26, 2010, when the government of Quebec officially passed a motion to bring online gambling to the province. A week later, on February 3, it was announced to the public. The reaction wasn’t exactly one of area-wide elation. The impending launch of Espacejeux became one of the biggest controversies of the year.

Several government agencies argued against the idea. They wanted more studies on the social impacts of online gambling. But Loto-Quebec was mighty convincing in its arguments, painting a picture that was hard to ignore. They said online gambling was already happening; that over 2,000 international sites were already competing for Quebecois. Millions of dollars were flowing offshore with no protective oversight (or government revenue stream) from the province.

With a strong desire to “channel its irreproachably trustworthy gaming offering in a controlled way and in a secure environment,” Loto-Quebec was able to bring Espacejeux to life. A soft launch was held on November 19, 2010, permitting per-registration, followed by full site launch on December 1, 2010.

By that timeline, Espacejeux won’t really celebrate its 10 year anniversary until the end of 2020, but that didn’t stop them from launching their big 10 year celebration a full year in advance.

Espacejeux 10 Year of Ta-Dah! $100k Giveaway

Starting on December 2, 2019, Espacejeux kicked off its “online games 10 years of ta-dah” promotion, promising to give away no less than $100,000 in cash prizes. As for the incredibly early launch of the promotion, Loto-Quebec explains, “we’ve decided to kick off our 10th anniversary celebrations early—during the most wonderful time of the year, no less—and treat you to a giveaway!”

The idea is to give away $1,000 to 10 lucky winners each week leading up to the big 2020 New Year celebration. After five weeks, that will cover the first half of the guaranteed $100k giveaway. Then, the big ta-dah happens at the end of this week on January 5, when the grand prize of $50,000 is to be awarded.

The giveaway is taking place as a series of raffles. Entering each weekly raffle is a two-step process. First, you have to visit the Espace Jeux Holiday Promotion page to get your promo code. On the page, you’ll see a festive box of decorative holiday items. You have to open each item to find Santa’s Cookies.

Once you click “Start”, you’ll have 10 seconds to unwrap each of the five items. All you do is click or tap on them. Once you find the cookies, you’ll unlock the promo code. Copy that code, navigate to your My Promotions page and paste it into the promo code box.

Next, to activate the promotion, you have to bet real money on slot machines. You don’t have to spend a lot. You can bet the lowest amount and spin the reels just once to qualify, so long as you do it within the same day you received the promo code. [See the complete rules here.]

Members of Espacejeux’s online casino Quebec can enter each weekly raffle once per day by repeating these steps; a max limit of 7 entries per weekly drawing. If you haven’t been taking part already, there’s no better time to start. This is the final week, with the big $50k grand prize up for grabs.
