Legal & Compliance

Aptrivia is built with compliance, fairness, and user protection at its core—without compromising the decentralization and accessibility of Web3. Below are the key legal and regulatory considerations:

🎮 Skill-Based, Not Gambling

  • Aptrivia is a free-to-play game that rewards skill and knowledge, not chance.

  • The outcome is determined by a player's accuracy and speed in answering trivia questions.

  • There is no pay-to-play mechanic, which keeps the platform outside the scope of gambling regulations.

🔐 No KYC / Full Anonymity

  • Players are never required to provide personal information or complete KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures.

  • All participation is wallet-based, preserving user privacy and decentralization.

💼 User Tax Responsibility

  • Since Aptrivia does not collect identity information, it cannot issue tax documents (e.g., 1099 forms).

  • Players are responsible for reporting their earnings to local tax authorities based on the fair market value of the crypto rewards they receive.

Disclaimer: All users accept full responsibility for complying with their jurisdiction’s tax and regulatory laws by using Aptrivia.

⚠️ Platform Reliability & Risk

  • Aptrivia is offered "as is" without warranty of uninterrupted service or guaranteed availability.

  • The platform is not responsible for unexpected downtime, technical issues, or disruptions caused by third-party services, infrastructure, or malicious actors.

  • Users accept that participation is at their own risk and that no compensation is guaranteed in the event of technical failure or exploit.

  • Aptrivia NFTs provide access to exclusive games and platform features.

  • They do not offer profit-sharing, yield, or any form of guaranteed financial return.

  • NFTs are marketed and structured as utility-based access tools, not securities.

The design of Aptrivia NFTs intentionally avoids characteristics that would trigger classification under the U.S. SEC’s Howey Test.

🔎 Transparency & Fairness

  • All prize pool commitments, game outcomes, and player scoring are publicly verifiable on-chain.

  • Hosted game settings and prize funding are auditable through on-chain prize wallet verification and public metadata logs.

  • The platform ensures fair play and verifiable logic through smart contract infrastructure.

  • Aptrivia is designed to be fully privacy-preserving by default.

  • No personal user data is collected, processed, or stored at any point on the platform.

  • As such, Aptrivia adheres to principles of global privacy regulations including:

    • GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation – EU)

    • CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act – US)

    • Other major privacy frameworks that prioritize user consent and data minimization

This privacy-by-design approach ensures that users worldwide can engage with the platform securely and confidently, without sacrificing regulatory compliance or decentralization.

Aptrivia aims to operate with long-term regulatory resilience while protecting both users and the platform from legal risk—ensuring compliance without sacrificing core Web3 values.

  • All prize payouts and NFT airdrops are logged with transaction hashes for transparency.

  • Winners receive crypto rewards instantly after the event.

  • Engagement rewards are distributed periodically to eligible NFT holders.
