Prize & Competition Terms

Last updated: November 11, 2026

These general terms apply to showdowns on TheGames.show. They don’t announce any event or promise any prize. Specific events and prizes are described only in that event’s official rules.

1. Official rules come first

Every showdown will have its own official rules, published before the event, covering eligibility, entry, format, schedule, scoring, and prizes. If those rules conflict with these general terms, the event’s official rules control for that event.

2. Eligibility

Eligibility, including age and location limits, is set per event. Some events may be void where prohibited or restricted by law. Signing up on the player list is not an entry into any event.

3. Sponsors and prizes

Each showdown’s prize is chosen and provided by its sponsor, as described in the official rules. Prize details, delivery, and timing are stated per event. Prizes can’t be transferred or exchanged unless the official rules allow it.

4. Fair play

Players must follow the Terms of Service code of conduct and the event’s rules. Cheating, exploiting, collusion, or harassment can lead to disqualification and loss of any prize.

5. Verification and taxes

Winners may be asked to verify their identity and eligibility before receiving a prize. Winners are responsible for any taxes on prizes as required by law.

6. Changes, cancellation, and results

Events may be rescheduled, changed, or cancelled, for example because of technical problems, game updates, or circumstances outside our control. Results are decided as the official rules describe.

7. Broadcast

Showdowns may be recorded and streamed. Competing means you agree to the broadcast license in the Terms of Service.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction where TheGames.show operates, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute will be resolved as set out in the applicable official rules or, where none apply, under applicable law.
