At the end of the month the player who has increased the value of their Virtual Trading account by the greatest percentage during that month ("WINNER") will receive PRIZE for that month's contest. In addition, if WINNER was referred by another player ("REFERRER") via our Refer a Friend link, then REFERRER shall receive $500.00 cash via PayPal and a $1,000 play money in-game bonus ("REFERRAL BONUS"). Players who have won PRIZE are not eligible to win again for 90 days. WINNER may still play in the Virtual Trading Game during this period, however their rank will not be calculated. There are no restrictions on the number of consecutive months REFERRER can receive REFERRAL BONUS. At the end of GAME CYCLE, WINNER must contact SmallCapWatch to claim their prize within seven days. WINNER will be required to provide verification of identity and residence (Drivers License for verification and Social Security number for tax purposes) in order to receive PRIZE - these items, along with a completed W9, must be faxed to 813-909-9292 and received no later than seven days after the game cycle ends. The name and address provided by WINNER must match the name and address used to create WINNER's SmallCapWatch account. Limit one account per user and/or household. If the information provided at signup does not match the actual account owner's information, the owner has created more than one account, or more than one account exists for the address provided, WINNER shall be disqualified, a new WINNER will be determined and verified, and PRIZE shall be awarded to new winner. In the event of a tie, WINNERS will enter a "bonus round". The BONUS ROUND will be based on a one-day gain - each player must choose ONE stock from their Virtual Trading Game portfolio. The WINNER shall be the player who selected the stock which increased by the greatest percentage on the next day. In the event of a tie in the bonus round, PRIZE shall be split between the winning players.

If the 7th of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, the winner will receive the first business day following the 7th.

Click to view previous winners. Wild Cards Wild Cards are a little twist we've added to the game that can give your portfolio a boost. Once a month we'll select two of the featured companies on our home page as the Wild Cards for the month, and release a clue as to which one it is. As long as you're holding the wild cards, your portfolio value will be counted as 20% higher than it otherwise would be. The first clue will go out to all members at the beginning of the month by AOL Instant Messenger and E-Mail, and each week we'll release another clue. Maximizing Your Winning Potential If you read the research reports we provide on all of our listed companies, you'll find that many of them are considered undervalued by the industry experts. This can work to your advantage in the game because there are a few simple things you can do outside of the game to help the stock prices of these companies move. Encourage your friends and family members who are active traders to review any stocks you have in your game portfolio and, if they see growth potential in the company, consider purchasing shares in them for real. A higher trade volume can help drive the stock price up for these under-valued companies, and those higher share prices will translate into real earnings for your friends and family who bought the stock, and a boost to your game portfolio for a greater chance to win!
