Contests of Skill
- The quizzes/contests hosted on the Platform, and made available to you, are all contests of skill. While each contest may feature a different level of skill and difficulty, and the threshold may vary, Rivea may employ a normalisation metric to pool players across games for hosting a contest. Rivea may also record and publish user performance from time to time for purposes such as research, offering free-to-play games, promoting responsible gaming, facilitating game plays, determining skill levels, etc. Each contest will be governed by the skill set you demonstrate in order to achieve an outcome. The Platform guarantees that all players are provided with an identical environment in each contest, regardless of their jurisdiction or country, ensuring a fair and consistent experience. Contests of skill under the applicable laws are allowed to be played for real money, barring certain prohibitions and restrictions in specific states.
- The Supreme Court of India, in State of Andhra Pradesh v. K Satyanarayana (AIR 1968 SC 825) and KR Lakshmanan v. State of Tamil Nadu (AIR 1996 SC 1153), defined games of skill as follows: “A game of skill, on the other hand—although the element of chance necessarily cannot be eliminated—is one in which success depends principally upon the superior knowledge, training, attention, experience and adroitness of the player. Golf, chess and even Rummy are considered to be games of skill. The Courts have reasoned that there are few games, if any, which consist purely of chance or skill, and as such a game of chance is one in which the element of chance predominates over the element of skill, and a game of skill is one in which the element of skill predominates over the element of chance. It is the dominant element—“skill” or “chance”—which determines the character of the game.”
Contests, Deals, Levels and In App Purchases
- Rivea may conduct promotions—including contests, consolation prizes, and level redemptions. Each promotion may have additional terms and rules that will be posted or otherwise made available to you. For the purposes of each of these activities, such rules will be deemed to be incorporated into and form a part of these Terms and will be binding on you.
- Tier Levels – Rivea may classify its Users into different tier/profile levels at its discretion using a proprietary algorithm that factors in multiple variables (e.g., number of games played, performance in those games, etc.). Such levels have no monetary value and do not constitute currency or property.
- Certain parts of the Services may be available to you only upon payment of a participation amount.
- Rivea reserves the absolute right to determine (i) the format of any contest; (ii) the prize structure; (iii) the selection of winners; and, (iv) the manner of disbursal of rewards, gifts, and deal redemptions.

- If Rivea charges its Users a Platform Fee for its Services, Rivea may refund such fee in the event of negligence or deficiency on the part of Rivea or a deliberate breach of these Terms, but not if a User’s account is suspended or removed due to:

Tax & TDS Policy
- In compliance with amendments made to the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, respective State GST Acts, and other laws effective from October 1, 2023 (collectively “GST Laws”), deposits made by Users will be subject to GST at the prescribed rate from that date. The deposited amount is “inclusive of GST” and may be adjusted for any discount received by the User in their Unplayed wallet. GST is calculated as “total amount collected X (Tax Rate in % of IGST, or, as applicable, CGST, SGST, or UTGST/100 + sum of applicable rates)”. The GST amount is non-refundable for any withdrawal.
- Further, any other taxes/levies/duties, as applicable, will be paid by the User.
- Rivea deducts tax at source (TDS) on net winnings as required by applicable law, including Section 194BA of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The TDS rate will be as prescribed under the relevant Finance Act.
- TDS is deducted on net winnings regardless of whether they are in cash, in kind, or partly both. The deducted TDS is independent of the payment mode.
- A User must provide a valid PAN so that Rivea can file the TDS accordingly. The same PAN is used for filing the quarterly TDS return under Section 200(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
- If a PAN is not furnished, Rivea will deduct TDS at a rate of 30% or as otherwise prescribed by law. Additionally, without PAN submission, the User may not be allowed to credit or withdraw funds.
- If incorrect PAN details are provided, it will be treated as if no PAN was provided.
- Any prize given in kind will be treated as a withdrawal for TDS calculation purposes.
- TDS must be paid within 24 hours. Please allow Rivea 15 working days to deliver your prize.
- To claim your winning product, if TDS is applicable (as per Section 194BA and Section 115BBJ of the Income Tax Act, 1961), the winner has 24 hours from winning to pay TDS. Failure to do so within 24 hours will result in the winning being considered expired.
- Rivea’s TDS policy is based on Applicable Law. Rivea reserves the right to modify, change, or amend the TDS policy as required by law and will apply the provisions effective at that time.
Payment Terms
- In respect of any transactions entered into on the Platform, including payment to participate in paid Contest(s), Users agree to the following payment terms:

Users agree that Winners of respective contests will pay the pre-disclosed Platform Fees on behalf of the remaining Users.
- The User may participate in a Contest wherein the User must contribute a pre-specified amount towards the Prize Money Pool, which will be passed on to the Winner(s) after the Contest as per its terms and conditions. Rivea has no right or interest in the Prize Money Pool and acts solely as an intermediary. The User’s contribution is debited from their account balance.
- Users are provided with three account categories for processing and reconciliation of payments: (i) ‘Play Balance’ Account, (ii) ‘Winnings’ Account, and (iii) ‘Bonus’ Account. Funds in these accounts cannot be transferred to another category or to third party accounts.
- User winnings may be credited into any wallet subsection (Play Balance, Bonus, Winnings) in any proportion at Rivea’s discretion. Amounts remitted via designated payment gateways are credited to the User’s Play Balance Account.
- Each time a User participates in any Contest on the QZone platform, the pre-designated amount may be debited in any proportion and order from any of the three wallet subsections (Play Balance, Bonus, or Winnings) as determined by Rivea.
- If there is any outstanding amount for participation in any match(s) or Contest(s), the User will be directed to the designated payment gateway to complete the payment. Any excess amount added by the User via the payment gateway will be transferred to the User’s Play Balance Account for future use.
- Debits from the Play Balance Account are made in the order of credit—amounts credited earlier are debited first.
- A User may withdraw amounts from their Play Balance Account by contacting Rivea Customer Support. All amounts in the Play Balance Account must be used within 60 days of credit. Any unused amount after 60 days may be forfeited without liability. Users may be required to provide valid photo identification and address proof for processing withdrawals. The name on the identification must match the name provided during registration and as per bank records. If a valid bank account is not registered or the account is not verified to Rivea’s satisfaction, Rivea will notify the User via email at least 30 days prior to the withdrawal request, and failure to register or verify may result in forfeiture of the funds. Withdrawal requests will be processed net of GST (i.e., GST paid on deposits is not refundable).
- Withdrawal from the Play Balance Account is subject to PAN submission, Aadhaar verification, geolocation verification (no withdrawals outside the country), and the withdrawal bank account must be in the verified User's name. Withdrawals will incur processing fees and applicable taxes. Additionally, any bonus amounts offered may be forfeited or adjusted at the time of withdrawal. A processing fee of 30% of the intended withdrawal amount may be charged.
- Users have full control over the funds in their Winnings Account. However, withdrawals from the Winnings Account may be subject to limits and conditions based on the User's loyalty level and risk profile. Users may not be allowed to withdraw the entire amount in one transaction due to these limits, which may be modified or adjusted by the Platform with notice via the Platform’s interface.
- Withdrawal of any amount in the Winnings Account may be initiated via a self-serve request on the Platform. However, funds will be forfeited if not withdrawn within 60 days of credit or 60 days of inactivity. Rivea may charge a processing fee (displayed on the withdrawal interface) at its sole discretion.

At the time of the transaction, additional terms may apply, and in the event of conflict, those terms will prevail.
