Pennywon is not a lottery, a raffle, sweepstakes or any other method of gambling. It is an auction where it is certain that the highest bidder buys the item at the highest bidding price once the auction timer has counted down to 0 (zero). The timer starts again once someone places a bid. For bidders that do not win the item they were bidding for, we offer compensation by having an option to buy the item from our website at set retail price . We will credit the cost of half of the bids that were made towards the final purchase price of the item, taking the cost of one bid equal to $0.80 USD. For example: If a bidder makes 8 bids but does not win, (and chooses to buy the item from us at retail price,) we will credit $3.20 USD towards the retail price of the item. Option available for 24 hours after the end of the auction.
