Frequently Asked Questions about EQL
Who is EQL and why has Ravensburger partnered with them for this release?
EQL is a third-party commerce platform that helps manage the launch of exclusive or limited-release products. Ravensburger has now partnered with EQL to help manage our launches, making them a smoother process for our customers.
Partnering with EQL means that:
-
One entry per person. Entries are verified against unique identifiers, so everyone gets the same shot.
-
Bots and bad actors don't make it through. Every entry passes through a multi-step security check that confirms there's a real person behind it.
-
Entering takes seconds. Your first entry automatically creates an EQL account. After that, future entries are just a few clicks.

Once the launch window closes, entries cannot be withdrawn.
By submitting an entry, you agree to purchase the product if your entry is selected and payment is approved.

Ravensburger handles fulfillment, shipping, and customer service for all confirmed orders. EQL does not have visibility into Ravensburger’s fulfillment systems.
Order fulfillment and delivery will be provided in accordance with the Ravensburger terms & conditions.
My payment was declined. Was I selected?
If your payment was declined, your order could not be completed.
Common reasons include:
-
Fraud protection from your bank
-
Insufficient funds
-
Incorrect payment details
If payment does not go through, the order is not confirmed.
Ravensburger cannot hold inventory for failed payments.
EQL+ is an optional subscription that has no effect on your selection odds. One of the membership perks, Winsurance, gives members a 15-minute window to update their payment details if a card is declined. Learn more about EQL+ here.
Why was my entry not successful?
If your entry was not successful, it means that your entry was not selected.
My entry was selected but my order was not processed. Why?
Having your entry selected does not guarantee an order. Sometimes orders are rejected because your method of payment failed – whether it was flagged for suspected fraud, insufficient funds, or incomplete information.
Unfortunately, at this time EQL does not send a failed payment email, but you may receive one from your financial institution. Ravensburger is unable to hold inventory for customers when their payment fails to process so the orders are rejected.
How does my EQL order appear on my bank statement?
Your bank statement will reflect the charge as "RVG"
I received multiple charges for the same order. How can I resolve this?
Customers may observe multiple charges as a result of winning multiple items. However, it's important to note that the shipping fee is combined into the first transaction. Should customers require assistance in clarifying or resolving multiple charges, they are encouraged to reach out to our customer service team for clarification.
I made an error entering my credit card information. How can I update it?
We understand mistakes happen. Unfortunately, once credit card details are submitted, they cannot be altered. To update your payment information, you'll need to cancel your existing order and re-enter your new preferred payment details when placing your order again.
How can I update my shipping address for my EQL order?
Once your order has been submitted, your shipping address cannot be modified. During the launch period, if you need to change your shipping address, the best course of action is to cancel your current order and place a new one with the correct address.
When will I receive tracking information for my EQL order?
Tracking details will be promptly sent to you via email as soon as your order is prepared to leave our warehouse.
How can I request a refund for my EQL order?
If you find yourself in a situation where you've won an item but now require a refund, please reach out to our customer service team. They will assist you in initiating the refund process.
I confirmed my order, but now I want a refund. How can I proceed?
Should you have confirmed your order, and the payment has been processed, requesting a refund will involve contacting our customer service team. They will guide you through the necessary steps to facilitate the refund process smoothly. Alternatively, if you've entered but not yet been selected as a winner, you have the option to cancel your order through the EQL platform.
Can I modify my EQL order to add or subtract items?
Unfortunately, orders cannot be modified after submission. However, if you need to make changes to your order, the best course of action is to cancel your existing order and resubmit it with the desired amendments. This ensures accuracy and completeness in your order details
