SECTION 3- PLATFORM CONTENT
BodyBet is an engaging wagering competition designed to motivate participants to lose 4% of their body weight within a four-week timeframe. Our structured program combines the excitement of friendly competition with financial incentives to promote accountability and success in achieving health goals.
Key Features:
Join a Challenge: Participants can enter a challenge by placing a wager, committing to a shared goal of weight loss with fellow competitors.
Weigh-In: Each participant will conduct an official weigh-in at the start of the challenge, using a video to ensure transparency and fairness.
Drop 4% in 4 Weeks: Participants aim to lose 4% of their body weight within the specified four-week period, supported by community encouragement and resources.
Win and Share the Prize: Those who successfully reach their weight loss goal will reclaim their wager and share the prize pool, creating a rewarding experience for achieving personal health milestones.
SECTION 4- POINTS SYSTEM
Accumulation of Points: Users on BodyBet have the opportunity to earn Points based on their accomplishments in various BodyBet challenges. Once users meet the specified criteria, Points will be automatically credited to their accounts without the need for manual input.
Cash Redemption: Users can choose to convert their Points into cash at a rate established by BodyBet. The typical exchange rate is €1.00 for each Point; however, BodyBet reserves the right to adjust this rate at its discretion based on business needs.
Game Participation: Users may also use their Points to enter new games offered on the Platform, providing additional ways to engage with the BodyBet community.
Redemption Security and Process: To ensure secure transactions when redeeming Points, BodyBet partners with Stripe, a trusted third-party payment processor. When users request a cash redemption, they must provide a valid debit or credit card that corresponds to the name registered on their BodyBet account. Additionally, to protect against fraudulent activity, users are required to submit a valid government-issued ID for verification. This ID will be used solely for this purpose and will not be retained longer than necessary.
Fees and Minimum Redemption Limits: In BodyBet, there is no minimum requirement for redeeming Points. However, for cash redemptions below €60, a handling fee of €5 will be charged to help offset transaction costs. Redemptions that exceed €60 will not incur any fees. BodyBet retains the discretion to modify or waive these fees for certain users based on individual circumstances.
Point Expiration: Points earned by Users will remain valid for one year from the date of the last account activity that impacts the Points balance. If a user does not engage in any activity for a full year, the Points will expire and be removed from the user's account, ensuring that the Points program remains active and engaging.
Ownership and Transferability of Points: Points are classified as the property of BodyBet and are not owned by users. Consequently, they cannot be sold, transferred, or inherited, and any attempts to do so will be rendered invalid. Users acknowledge that they do not hold any vested rights in relation to the Points.
Modifications to the Points System: BodyBet reserves the right to revise the rules, exchange rates, rewards structure, or to terminate the Points program entirely at any time. This may occur with or without prior notice to users, allowing BodyBet the flexibility to adapt the program as needed to enhance user experience and meet business objectives.
