Getting Started:
All you have to do is register for a SolidICE account, and link your WoW characters to your account from your profile. Once you have registered for a free SolidICE account you will be given a one time free raffle ticket. After this free ticket, you can obtain additional tickets by simply playing World of Warcraft.
Please note: you must log out of World of Warcraft for us to access your updated character statistics.
Accumulating Tickets:
Users can most basically accumulate tickets by linking their WoW characters here on SolidICE, then playing WoW as they normally would.
The activities which reward points can be found in the next post.
When you are done playing WoW for the day, or for a session, log into the site, go to solidice.com/users/profile/raffles and press the check score button.
We will pull your stats from the WoW armory and award points based on your activities.
Once you have acucmulated 100 points, press the claim ticket button on the same page.
*Pleae note that if you accumulate more than 100 points, you will only be eligible for 1 ticket, so the more you check your score, the better.
