MARK unMARKed giveaway

Pickld, the home of MARK unMARKed in Australia.

Ben and Chris here. We're giving away a MARK unMARKed 2026 in Martian Mist, an elongated 16mm power paddle. Three steps, under a minute, and the draw is on Friday 20 November. Open to Australia only, 18+.

How to enter

Before 11:59pm AEDT on Thursday 19 November 2026:

  1. Follow @pickldaustralia on Instagram.
  2. Comment UNMARKED on our giveaway post and tag a friend in that comment.
  3. Reply to the Instagram direct message we send you after your comment with your email address.

Sharing the post to your story is welcome, it just doesn't add entries. One entry per person and per Instagram account. Entry is free. No purchase is necessary, and buying from Pickld does not improve your chance of winning.

The paddle

One MARK unMARKed 2026 16mm pickleball paddle in Martian Mist, retail value $299.

MARK's specs, plus one lab result from Pickleball Effect:

  • Elongated shape, 16.5 x 7.5 in, with a hybrid-like swing
  • 16mm dual-foam core: EVA around the perimeter, EPP in the centre
  • Carbon (T700) and fibreglass face with a grit finish
  • 7.8 to 8.0 oz, swing weight 112 to 115
  • Pickleball Effect measured its firepower at 98 out of 100

It's a power paddle first, so it suits players who attack and have a developed soft game. Martian Mist keeps the plain black face, with the colour in the rim. If it isn't on our shelf when the winner claims it, we send it from our next delivery and tell them the date.

See the full specs on the paddle page.

Entering adds you to Pickld's email list: new paddles, guides and the odd offer, and you can unsubscribe any time. By entering you agree to the full terms. Your details are handled under our privacy policy.

Ben + Chris

This promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Instagram, Facebook or Meta Platforms, Inc. By entering, you release Instagram, Facebook and Meta from all liability connected with this promotion. You are giving your details to Pickld, not to Instagram or Meta.

Full terms and conditions

1. Who runs this promotion

The promoter is Pickld Pty Ltd (ABN 88 698 807 082) of 101 Excelsior Road, Mount Colah NSW 2079, trading as Pickld at pickld.com.au ("Pickld", "we", "us"). Contact: support@pickld.com.au.

By entering, you agree to these terms. If anything in a social post or email about this promotion disagrees with these terms, these terms win.

Entry is free. No purchase is necessary, and buying from Pickld does not improve your chance of winning.

2. When you can enter

Entries open when our giveaway post goes live on Instagram on Sunday 1 November 2026 and close at 11:59pm AEDT on Thursday 19 November 2026. Entries after the close are not accepted. The time an entry is received is the time recorded by our systems.

This promotion is a single promotion with one prize. It is not part of a series; any later giveaway has its own terms.

3. Who can enter

You can enter if you live in Australia and are 18 or older when you enter.

You cannot enter if you are an employee, founder or director of Pickld, or an immediate family member of one (spouse or partner, parent, child, brother or sister).

We may ask the winner for proof of age, residency and identity before we hand over the prize. If they cannot give it, the entry is invalid.

4. How to enter

To enter, do all three of these during the entry period:

  1. Follow @pickldaustralia on Instagram.
  2. Comment UNMARKED on our giveaway post and tag a friend in that comment.
  3. Reply to the Instagram direct message we send you after your comment with your email address.

Your entry exists once step 3 is done. Sharing the post to your story is welcome but is not required and does not add entries.

Before you give us your email address, the direct message tells you that entering adds you to Pickld's email list and links to these terms. By giving us your email address you confirm you meet section 3, agree to these terms and agree to join our email list. The direct messages are sent by an automated tool (Manychat) on Pickld's behalf.

We check steps 1 and 2 only for the entry we draw. Our Facebook post about this promotion is not a way to enter; it points to the Instagram post.

5. One entry per person

Each person, and each Instagram account, can enter once. More comments, more tags or registering again do not add entries. If we find someone has entered more than once using different names, email addresses or Instagram accounts, all of that person's entries are invalid.

6. The draw

This is a random draw, not a game of skill. Chance decides the winner.

The draw is at 10:00am AEDT on Friday 20 November 2026. A computer picks one entry at random from all valid registrations, one entry per person, using a cryptographically secure random number generator. At the same time it draws three backup entries, in order. We keep the record of the draw (the time, the number of valid entries, the entry drawn, the backups, and a digital fingerprint of the full entry list that shows it was not changed afterwards) for at least five years, and we film the draw and post the video on @pickldaustralia.

We then check that the drawn entrant completed steps 1 and 2 and meets section 3. If they do not, that entry is invalid and the first backup becomes the drawn entry, then the second and the third. If no backup qualifies, we draw again, the same way, until we have an entry that qualifies.

7. Telling the winner

We will contact the winner by email, and by Instagram direct message from @pickldaustralia where we can, within 2 business days of the draw. We will post the winner's first name and Instagram handle on @pickldaustralia.

We will never ask the winner for a payment, card details or a password to claim the prize. Any message that does is not from us.

8. If the prize is not claimed

The winner claims the prize by replying to our email or Instagram message within 3 days of our first message. If they do not, or if they turn out to be ineligible, they lose the prize and the next backup from the draw in section 6 becomes the winner, contacted and announced as in section 7 and given the same 3 days. If no backup remains, we draw again at 10:00am AEDT on the next business day, in the same way as the first draw.

If no eligible winner has claimed the prize within 30 days of the first draw, we will say so on @pickldaustralia and on this page.

9. The prize

One prize: one MARK unMARKed 2026 16mm pickleball paddle in Martian Mist, retail value $299 including GST on the day entries open. The total prize value is $299.

  • The prize cannot be transferred to someone else, swapped for a different product, or exchanged for cash.
  • We deliver it to an address in Australia at our cost, within 10 business days of the winner claiming it.
  • If the prize is out of stock when the winner claims it, we send the same product from our next delivery and tell the winner the date. We will not swap in a different colour or model without the winner's agreement.
  • The prize carries the same manufacturer's warranty and consumer guarantees as one bought from us.

10. Your details and privacy

We collect your name, email address and Instagram handle to run this promotion: to check your entry, contact you if you win, and publish the winner's first name and handle. We handle your details under our privacy policy: pickld.com.au/policies/privacy-policy.

Entering adds you to Pickld's email list, and the direct message says so before you enter. We will send you a confirmation of your entry, then emails about new paddles, guides and occasional offers. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email, and unsubscribing does not cancel your entry.

11. Instagram and Meta

This promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Instagram, Facebook or Meta Platforms, Inc. By entering, you release Instagram, Facebook and Meta from all liability connected with this promotion. You are giving your details to Pickld, not to Instagram or Meta.

12. What we are and are not responsible for

  • Nothing in these terms takes away any right you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot be excluded.
  • As far as the law allows, we are not responsible for entries that are lost, late, incomplete or never reach us, for technical faults with Instagram, email or our website, or for any loss or injury from entering or from using the prize, except where it is caused by our own negligence, fraud or breach of these terms.
  • We may disqualify any entry, or anyone, that tampers with the entry process, uses bots, fake accounts or other automated means, or breaks these terms.
  • If something outside our control stops the promotion running as planned (for example a technical failure, fraud, or Instagram removing the post), we may change, suspend or end it, subject to any direction from a state or territory regulator. If we do, we will say so on this page and on @pickldaustralia. We will still give the prize to an eligible winner.

13. Disputes

If you think something about this promotion or the claiming of the prize was not right, email support@pickld.com.au. Ben or Chris will look into it and reply within 5 business days. Our decision is final as far as the law allows; it does not limit your rights under the Australian Consumer Law or your right to contact a state or territory regulator.

14. Permits

No permit is needed. The total prize value ($299) is under every Australian state and territory threshold for a free trade promotion (the lowest is the ACT's $3,000).

15. Questions

Email support@pickld.com.au. Ben or Chris will reply within one business day.
