Competition and Arena Rules

General Competition and Arena Rules

1. Separate event rules

Each Arena must publish organiser, eligibility, territory, dates, entry method, categories, judging criteria, score weights, prizes, taxes, tie-breaks and complaint period. If event rules conflict with these General Rules, the event rules govern only that event unless unlawful.

2. Recommended award separation

The principal talent title should be determined primarily by qualified judging against published criteria. Free verified audience activity may determine a Fans' Choice award. Eligible paid gifting may determine a separately labelled Gifters' Choice award. Paid Gifts must not secretly determine the principal talent winner.

3. Integrity and disqualification

• One natural person may use only permitted accounts and voting methods.
• No bots, vote exchanges, collusion, self-gifting, chargeback gifting, judge influence, bribery or interference.
• Entries must satisfy category, originality, consent and rights requirements.
• Arena Kingdom may require identity, eligibility and performance evidence and may audit activity.
• Invalid activity may be removed without refund where caused by the participant, subject to mandatory law.

4. Technical failure and correction

We may pause, repeat, extend, reschedule or cancel a round where outage, attack, fraud, safety issue, force majeure or material error compromises integrity. We may correct published scores and substitute a winner after discovery of ineligibility or manipulation. Decisions will be reasoned and appealable where practicable.

5. Prizes

Prizes are subject to verification, tax, lawful eligibility and acceptance documents. No substitution or transfer is permitted except by the organiser. Failure to claim within the stated period may cause forfeiture and selection of an alternate. Arena Kingdom makes no tax representation.

6. Scoring and prize thresholds

Unless the Event Rules for a specific Arena state otherwise, ranking is determined by the total Eligible Gifts, measured in Coins, a Creator receives during the relevant period. A Creator wins the Arena only if their total exceeds 10,000,000 Coins and is higher than every other competitor's total for that period. A Creator who exceeds 10,000,000 Coins but does not have the highest total does not win the Arena, but qualifies for a fixed prize of US$5,000, subject to the verification, tax and eligibility conditions in section 5 above.
