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.
🧾 NFT Legal Status
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.
