WPN Premium Metrics Checks

As a WPN Premium member, you will periodically undergo a play metrics check where the Wizards Play Network team will review your current metrics and ensure you're meeting minimum WPN Premium metrics to retain your WPN Premium status. The first of these annual metrics checks will take place the first week of December, 2024.


WPN Premium stores who have been WPN Premium for less than one year are exempt from their first metrics check, to give you time to meet the minimum metrics requirement.


As a reminder, WPN Premium stores need to maintain the following requirements by each annual play metrics check*:


  • 1500 Tickets
  • 30 Engaged Players
  • 10 Activated Players

The exact timing of WPN Premium metrics checks may shift to ensure you have the greatest opportunity to capture play from the closest Prerelease date, and to accommodate for any additional unforeseen challenges.


*These metrics requirements roughly translate to reporting around 29 Tickets per week in Wizards EventLink, on average. All Magic events reported through Wizards EventLink, including Webcam and At-Home events, will count towards play metrics. As a reminder, you can review your current play metrics on your WPN profile page.
