Terms & Conditions
This is a plain-language working draft, not the final contract, and not legal advice. The official rules — including the French-language version required for players in Quebec — will be reviewed by counsel and posted before any cash-prize show runs.
1. What Trivia Tonite is
Trivia Tonite is a live, skill-based trivia game show. Games are free to play, hosted by an AI character, and prizes are funded by sponsors. By creating an account or playing, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.
2. Free entry — no purchase, ever
Entry is and always will be free. There is no entry fee, no purchase necessary, and no way to pay for an advantage. The prize pot is provided by a sponsor; players never pay into it. This keeps Trivia Tonite a contest of skill, not a lottery.
3. It’s a game of skill
Winning is determined by your performance — answering correctly and quickly — not by chance. Where the law requires a skill-testing element to award a prize, the trivia itself is that element.
4. Who can play
- You must be 16 years of age or older and the owner of the phone number used to register.
- Some shows and features are restricted to players 19 or older.
- Younger family members may play along on a shared household screen, but the registered account holder — and any prize recipient — must be a 16+ phone owner.
- Eligibility may depend on where you live; we’re launching Canada-first and the contest is void where prohibited.
5. The pot & prizes
- Each show’s pot is funded by that show’s sponsor and is shown honestly, including the realistic amount an individual winner may receive.
- Winners are determined by the scoring rules in effect for the show.
- Prizes are paid to a verified, 16+-attested account by the payout method offered in your region.
- You are responsible for any taxes on a prize. Prizes are not transferable and cannot be exchanged except at our discretion.
6. AI host & sponsorship disclosure
The host is an AI character, not a human, and each show is sponsor-funded. We disclose both at the start of every show and here. We will never present the host as a real person or hide a sponsorship.
7. Fair play
To keep it fair for everyone, you agree not to: use bots, scripts, or automation; misrepresent your location to enter a zone you’re not in; register multiple accounts or use multiple numbers to game entries; or otherwise cheat or disrupt a show. One number, one region, one entry per show. We may disqualify, suspend, or remove accounts that break these rules.
8. Your account & identity
Your phone number is your durable identity; we store only a hashed form of it and never display it. In a show you appear under a temporary handle, not your real-world identity. See the Privacy Policy.
9. Changes, suspension & ending a show
We may update these Terms, change or cancel a show, or stop a show in progress if needed (for example, a technical fault or suspected manipulation). Material changes will be posted here.
10. No warranty & limitation of liability
Trivia Tonite is provided “as is.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or incidental damages arising from your use of the service. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under applicable consumer-protection law.
11. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. (To be confirmed by counsel.)
