Welcome to the QuizStar App! 

Before playing our various trivia games, we need you to understand and agree to the terms on which we provide the QuizStar App, and what you can and cannot do with any prizes you win while playing any of our Trivia Games. 

Each of our Trivia Games is different. Our prizes include Money, which is redeemable as vouchers to various major retailers or can be transferred into your PayPal account and Kels (K), our token system which you need to play. You need to have K to play any of the Trivia Games. Don’t worry, you’ll start out with enough K to have a crack at staying in the Trivia Game, and you can always purchase more K. 

Every game that offers a Money reward has a fee to play. Typically, the buy-in fee and progress fee are 10c instalments.

These Terms set out the terms and conditions that apply when you use the QuizStar App. By playing the Trivia Game, you agree to be bound by these Terms which form a binding contractual agreement between you and us.

Please carefully read through these Terms before using the QuizStar App. If you don’t agree to these Terms, please don’t use the QuizStar App.
