Severe or repeated violations may result in permanent account deactivation. Affected users will lose access to their account, all in-game items, and all rewards. The Company reserves the right to take legal action where applicable
Payments, Rewards, and Refunds
Reward Processing Timeline
All leaderboard winnings and reward requests are subject to a standard verification and processing window of 24 to 72 hours from the time of request. This timeframe allows us to complete necessary security and compliance checks to ensure secure and accurate reward disbursement.
Reward Review and Delays
In certain circumstances, rewards may be placed under review pending verification checks. Where this occurs, the Company will proactively notify the affected user via email.
Non-Disbursement for Rule Violations
Rewards are only processed to users who have fully complied with these Terms and our Fair Play Policy. Any confirmed rule violation — including but not limited to use of multiple accounts, AI assistance, or other prohibited methods — will result in forfeiture of any pending or completed rewards disbursement. The Company reserves the right to withhold rewards without liability where a violation has been confirmed.
Game Mechanics and Rewards
Game mechanics and reward structures are outlined in each game's rules section. While we strive to ensure fairness, results are final and cannot be contested. The Company reserves the right to modify or discontinue any rewards, game features, or bonus structures at its discretion, with prior notice where feasible.
