1. Regulatory review required
Paid entry, staking and cash-prize modes require review of applicable Nigerian state and federal rules, user location, age restrictions and payment-provider permissions before being offered lawfully. This draft does not establish gaming authorisation, a skill-game exemption or nationwide approval. Publication of these rules does not switch off or authorise any existing game mode.
2. Before you enter
Each permitted game must show its entry cost or stake, player count, question/time rules, prize calculation, platform deductions, eligibility, settlement, tie and cancellation rules before entry. Outcomes and winnings are not guaranteed. Do not participate with borrowed money or money needed for essentials.
Speed Trivia currently uses five questions with an admin-configurable timer, defaulting to 10 seconds per question. Active-round timing is snapshotted. The rules shown for a particular round govern that round and cannot be silently replaced by later settings.
3. Fairness and responsible play
Bots, collusion, timing manipulation and exploitation are prohibited. Decisions on suspected abuse require evidence and a review route. Limits and payout caps must be shown before relevant participation. Where a game is cancelled, its displayed lawful refund/settlement rules must apply.
Before adoption, verify age controls, location restrictions and responsible-play support and exclusion tools. This draft does not claim self-exclusion tools exist. Stop playing if it causes financial pressure; contact support with a game/session reference for issues.
