Terms & Conditions of Entry – Uber Backseat Arcade
Information on how to enter and the prizes form part of these Terms and Conditions. Participation in the Uber Backseat Arcade promotion ("Promotion") is deemed acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.
The promoter is Uber Australia Pty Ltd (ABN 49 160 299 865) of 1 O'Connell St, Sydney NSW 2000 ("Promoter").
Entry is only open to individuals aged 18 years or over with an Uber account in New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania ("Participating Locations"). Employees of the Promoter and agencies associated with this promotion involved in the conduct of the Promotion are ineligible to enter.
The Promotion commences at 9am on 8 December 2025 and ends when all Promo Codes have been claimed in accordance with clause 16 or 11:59pm on 21 December 2025, whichever occurs first ("Promotional Period"). All times indicated are in Australian Eastern Daylight Time.
For a chance to play, you must request a trip using the Uber app in a Participating Location during the Promotional Period ("Trip").
If the Uber Backseat Arcade banner appears in-app during the Trip, to participate in the Promotion, you must:
(a) tap on the banner to open the Uber Backseat Arcade site; and
(b) select and play one or more of the games set out in the table below (each, a "Game") within 10 minutes from the time you commence playing your first Game ("Time Limit"):
Game 1: Brick Breaker How to Play: Break through the wall of bricks to rack up points and clear each level. Keep your eye on the ball and watch out for those power-ups!
Prize Score: Tier 1: 10,000 – 19,999 Tier 2: 20,000 – 49,999 Tier 3: 50,000 or more

Prize Score: Tier 1: 10 – 19 Tier 2: 20 – 39 Tier 3: 40 or more
There is an element of chance in whether the Uber Backseat Arcade banner appears in-app during a Trip because the banner is a rotating advertising space and the Promoter cannot guarantee that it will appear during every Trip. However, the award of Promo Codes is based solely on the entrant's performance in the Game, which requires skill, speed and accuracy.
The Uber Backseat Arcade banner will appear in-app a maximum of 6 times per user during the Promotional Period and you cannot play more than once per hour.
You cannot access Uber Backseat Arcade unless you click through the in-app banner during a Trip.
Each Prize Score Tier corresponds to an Uber ride promo code prize, as set out in paragraph 24 below ("Promo Code").
The Promo Code is only valid on a subsequent Uber ride. You cannot redeem the Promo Code on the Trip during which you claimed it.
If you achieve a Prize Score, you will immediately receive an on screen notification confirming the Promo Code corresponding to your Prize Score Tier and presenting you with the option to:
(a) claim the Promo Code; or (b) forfeit the Promo Code and play again.
If you choose to play again, the process set out in paragraph 12 will repeat until you claim a Promo Code or the Time Limit expires, whichever occurs earlier.
You may participate in the Promotion and claim a Promo Code multiple times, provided that you may only claim 1 Promo Code per Trip.
You are only entitled to claim the Promo Code corresponding to your latest Prize Score. For example, if you achieve a Tier 2 Prize Score, choose to play again and, in the next Game:
(a) achieve a Tier 1 Prize Score, you will only be eligible to claim a Tier 1 Promo Code; or (b) do not achieve a Prize Score, you will not be eligible to claim a Promo Code.
To claim a Promo Code, you must do the following before the Time Limit expires:
(a) tap the button 'Claim your prize'; and (b) tap to 'Confirm' you want to claim your prize and be redirected to the Uber app.
If you complete the steps in paragraph 15, the Promo Code will be automatically added to your Uber account.
You will forfeit your Promo Code if you do not claim it in accordance with paragraph 16.
If your Trip ends, you may continue playing until expiry of the Time Limit.
