Plain-English terms.
Last updated: January 2026
No 40-page PDFs. Below is the contract.
1. The deal
By using GamifiedDeals you agree to these terms. If you don't, don't use the product — but we'd rather you stayed.
2. Who can play
You must be at least 13 years old (16 in the EU). If you're under your local age of majority, you need a parent or guardian's consent. Merchants must be a legitimate business and authorized to offer the rewards they put into their campaigns.
3. Game mechanics
Outcomes of spin, loot box, and other random mechanics are determined by weighted random selection. We publish reward weights on every campaign page. Mechanics are entertainment — not gambling. No purchase is required to play; no real money changes hands inside GamifiedDeals.
4. Rewards & redemption
Reward codes are issued by the merchant whose campaign you played, not by GamifiedDeals. Each code's terms (expiry, exclusions, in-store vs online, transferability) are set by the merchant and shown in your wallet. GamifiedDeals is not responsible for a merchant refusing redemption — but we will mediate fairly if it happens.
5. Merchant responsibilities
If you run a campaign you agree to (a) honor every code you publish, (b) accurately describe rewards and weights, (c) comply with local promotional law, including jurisdictions that regulate sweepstakes. (d) Not run anything illegal, hateful, or that could endanger players.
6. Fair play
No bots, automation, multi-account abuse, or exploitation of bugs. We may suspend accounts that do. We reserve the right to void XP and rewards earned through abuse.
7. Cross-merchant identity
Your XP, level, badges, and username are portable across every GamifiedDeals merchant. This is a feature, not a bug. By signing up you grant other merchants on the network read access to that public profile data — never your email or PII.
8. Beta / availability
GamifiedDeals is in open beta. The product is provided 'as is' with no SLA. We strive for >99% uptime but make no promises while in beta. Major incidents will be posted on status.gamifieddeals.com.
9. Pricing changes
Open Beta is free. We will give 30 days' notice before introducing paid tiers, and active beta merchants will receive a 50% lifetime discount on their first paid plan.
10. Termination
You can delete your account anytime from /profile. We may terminate accounts that violate these terms with notice (or without, for severe abuse).
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, GamifiedDeals is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the service. Our total liability is capped at fees you've paid us in the prior 12 months (which during Beta is $0).
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA. Disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration in Wilmington, DE — except small claims, which you can bring locally.
13. Changes
We may update these terms. Material changes are announced 14 days in advance via email and in-app banner. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
14. Affiliate program
Opting in to our affiliate program creates a separate agreement: (a) you must publicly disclose your affiliate relationship per FTC 16 CFR § 255 (use #ad or #affiliate on every post containing your share link), (b) you may not self-refer, use bot traffic, or manipulate clicks — we monitor and ban offenders, (c) we hold the first $50 of your earnings for manual review (anti-fraud), (d) we pay out via PayPal or Stripe Connect at a $25 minimum, (e) we may reverse commissions for purchases that are refunded by the customer, (f) we may suspend the program or specific affiliate accounts at our discretion with notice, (g) you are responsible for any taxes owed in your jurisdiction; in the US, earnings over $600/yr trigger a 1099-K from us.
15. Merchant-funded commissions
Affiliate commissions are funded by the merchant whose link drove the conversion. The default commission is 10% of the reward's face value but each merchant can set their own rate. GamifiedDeals collects an additional platform fee from the merchant — not from your commission.
16. Subscription billing
Merchants on paid plans are billed monthly via Stripe. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled. Cancellation is effective at the end of your current billing period — we do not pro-rate refunds. To cancel, use the 'Manage billing' link in your merchant dashboard.
17. Refunds
Subscription fees are non-refundable unless required by law. Disputed charges should be raised to support@gamifieddeals.com first; if unresolved you may file with Stripe within 60 days.
