How are net deposits calculated?
How are net deposits calculated?
You earn 1 entry for every $1 of net deposits. Net deposits are calculated as your total deposits and transfers into your Wealthsimple accounts, minus any withdrawals. For example, if you deposit $500 but withdraw $200, your net deposit would be $300, earning you 300 entries.
If you have a direct deposit set up, your entries are automatically doubled, so in the same example, you’d earn 600 entries instead.
Please note that not all withdrawals will count against your entries. The following transactions are exempt:
- Transfers between your own Wealthsimple accounts
- Payments with your Prepaid Mastercard
- Payments to a Wealthsimple Visa card, bill payments, or Pre-Authorized Debits (PADs)
- Margin debit balance withdrawals or borrowing against a portfolio line of credit

What if I completed deposits or referrals before registering?
What if I completed deposits or referrals before registering?
For deposits, both initiation and completion must occur on or after October 1. If so, it will automatically count toward your entries once you register, even if it happened prior to your registration date. Any activity initiated or completed before October 1 is not eligible for this giveaway.
The same rule applies to referrals. Your entries will automatically count toward your total if:
- You must hold at least $100 CAD in net deposits at the time of the referral.
- Your friend joined Wealthsimple using your referral link
- They funded at least $100 within 30 days of joining
- Their funding completed between October 1, 2026 and October 28, 2026
- You'll still earn entries even if you hadn't registered yet at the time of their funding.
Any activity completed before October 1 will not be eligible, as it predates the contest's entry window. Please note that no exceptions
Do my entries accumulate over the course of the Monthly giveaway?
Do my entries accumulate over the course of the Monthly giveaway?
Yes! Your entries will accumulate week-over-week until the million-dollar draw.
Your total entries will reset for each new Monthly Millionaire reset each month, for which you’ll automatically be enrolled and receive 500 entries.
For example, if you register and make a deposit in the first week, those entries will count towards all 4 draws in October. Your total entries will reset to 500 on October 29, the date that the November Millionaire draw begins, as long as you remain registered.
Note that these entries would be doubled to 1,000 if you have direct deposit set up.
