Contest Rules
Last updated: April 2026
Eligibility
Contests are open to Circle ($10/month) and Inner Circle ($30/month) members only. You must be at least 18 years old. One entry per person per contest. Employees and immediate family of R3LAB Inc. are not eligible.
Daily Zero
A daily challenge posted at 9 AM EST. Everyone can play. Only paid members (Circle + Inner Circle) are eligible for the cash prize. The prize goes to the highest-ranking paid member, not necessarily the overall #1. For trivia: answers must be submitted within 15 seconds of revealing the question. For predictions: closest guess wins. For creative: community votes determine the winner.
Weekly contests
Larger skill-based challenges with bigger prizes. Types include trivia (multiple choice, scored by accuracy + speed), prediction (closest guess wins), and community vote (most votes wins). Each member may enter once per contest.
Tiebreakers
When two participants have the same score: (1) faster submission time wins, (2) if still tied, Inner Circle member wins over Circle member. There is always exactly one winner per contest. No prize splits.
Mr. Zero gifts
Mr. Zero may award discretionary gifts to members who contribute value to the community. Gifts are not contests — they are given at Mr. Zero's sole discretion. No application process.
Prize pool
90% of all membership revenue is allocated to prizes and community rewards (70% immediate, 20% prize reserve). All prize amounts, recipients, and transactions are publicly visible on the live dashboard.
Payouts
Prizes are paid within 14 days of announcement via PayPal, Interac e-transfer (Canada), or Stripe Connect. Minimum payout: $10. Winners are responsible for reporting prize income in their jurisdiction. Prizes may be subject to income tax.
Finality
Contest results are final once announced by Mr. Zero. The platform's determination of winners is binding.
