Eligibility

03
How to Enter
- Register each child at registration or add more from the Parent Zone. Every entry needs a leaderboard handle, first name, date of birth and your consent.

Fair Play

- A child can win only one cash prize category per week; their highest-value one.
- A household can win at most one cash prize per week.
- Creating multiple profiles for one child, entering a false date of birth, or playing on another child's account is grounds for disqualification.

Prizes and Payment
- Cash prizes are paid to the guardian on record, never to the child.
- Paid within 10 business days of the result being announced, by bank transfer or another suitable method.
07
Grand Final and Broadcast
Appearing on camera is never a condition of winning. Every finalist's guardian chooses one of three ways to take part, and all three are eligible for the full prize.
- Full broadcast: your child appears on camera during the live stream.
- Audio and avatar only: your child is heard, represented by their avatar, but not shown on camera.
- Private proctored session: your child competes privately with a proctor, and only the score is made public.
- Consent for the live stream, the recording staying up afterward, and marketing clips are each separate, and each can be withdrawn at any time.
08
Privacy and Child Protection
- Public leaderboards show your child's chosen handle only; never their real name or other sensitive details
- Ask us to remove your child from any public board at any time; we'll do it within 24 hours.
- Keystroke timing is kept in raw form for 30 days for fair-play checks, then reduced to summary statistics.
- If your child wins and we need to verify their age, we view the document, confirm it and delete it. We never keep a copy.
