These terms govern the Bips iOS app and this website. The complete, controlling official rules for drawings and prizes live in the app under Account → Terms and rules.
The game
Bips is a fantasy market game. Portfolios are simulated; no securities or cryptocurrency are bought, sold, or held on your behalf, and nothing in Bips is investment advice or a recommendation.
You must be 18 or older and a U.S. resident to play.
One account per person. Accounts are personal and non-transferable.
Tokens, Alpha, and prizes
Entry tokens are how you enter challenges. New accounts receive free tokens, more arrive free every week, and additional tokens can be purchased. Tokens have no cash value and can't be redeemed, refunded, or transferred.
Alpha is the prize-points currency. It can only be earned through gameplay — it is never sold — and has no cash value.
Drawings and prizes are governed by the official rules in the app, including the free entry route. No purchase improves your odds of winning a drawing.
Fair play
We may suspend or close accounts that exploit bugs, create multiple accounts, abuse referrals, or otherwise damage the fairness of the game. Where reasonable, we'll warn before we act.
Liability
Bips is provided "as is." Market data may be delayed or occasionally wrong; scores settle on the data we capture, and our reasonable good-faith settlement is final. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim is limited to $100 or the amount you paid us in the past 12 months, whichever is greater.
