Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Here are 15 FAQs covering every angle AdSense reviewers and real users would ask — legality, gameplay, winners, prizes, data, and ads.
GENERAL
Q: What is WinPlay? A: WinPlay is Indias first free daily skill-based sports competition platform. Every day we publish a professional sports photograph with the ball digitally removed. Your challenge is to use your sports knowledge, physics reasoning, and visual analysis to pinpoint the exact location of the balls centre on a precision coordinate grid. The participant whose submitted coordinates are mathematically closest to the independently verified ball position wins the featured prize. No entry fees, no subscriptions — entirely free to play.
Q: Is WinPlay free to play? A: Yes, completely and permanently free. There is no entry fee, no subscription, no in-app purchase, and no credit card required at any stage. WinPlay is funded entirely by advertising revenue. Our belief is that a genuine skill competition should never charge players to demonstrate their expertise.
Q: Is WinPlay available across India or only in Kerala? A: WinPlay is open to all residents of India aged 18 and above. While the platform was founded in Kerala and our community is strongest there, players from any Indian state can participate, win, and receive prizes. Prizes are shipped anywhere within India at no cost to the winner.
Q: Who can participate in WinPlay? A: Any Indian resident aged 18 or above with a verified WinPlay account can participate. Employees of WinPlay Private Limited, their immediate family members, and anyone professionally connected to the competition administration are ineligible. One account per person is permitted — duplicate accounts are detected and disqualified automatically.
GAMEPLAY
Q: How exactly does the Spot the Ball mechanic work? A: Each WinPlay challenge presents a high-resolution sports photograph — typically from cricket, football, volleyball, or kabaddi — from which the ball has been digitally removed. You study the image and tap or click to place a coordinate marker where you believe the exact centre of the ball to be. Your (x, y) coordinate is recorded and locked. When the challenge closes, our independent verification panels pre-determined ball position is revealed, and the Euclidean distance formula — √((x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²) — is used to calculate each participants precision score. The closest entry wins.
Q: Is this a game of skill or a game of chance? A: WinPlay is purely a game of skill. There are no random draws, no lottery mechanisms, and no probability-based selection. The winner is determined entirely by mathematical precision — whose coordinate submission is closest to the verified ball position. Players with deeper sports knowledge, better understanding of biomechanics, and stronger spatial reasoning consistently outperform casual guessers. This is why WinPlay is legally classified as a skill-based competition under applicable Indian and UK law, and not as gambling or a lottery.
Q: How is the correct ball position determined? A: Before any challenge goes live and before a single player submits an entry, a panel of independent sports analysts marks the balls centre on the original unedited photograph. Their coordinates are recorded, verified, and sealed in a timestamped record. This verified position cannot be changed after the competition opens. The sealed coordinate is only published after the challenge closes, in our Winners Circle alongside each winner\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s submitted coordinate — so any player can independently verify the result.
Q: What is the Euclidean distance and why do you use it? A: The Euclidean distance is the straight-line mathematical gap between two points on a grid, calculated as √((x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²). We use it because it is the most geometrically fair measurement available — it treats every direction equally, with no bias toward horizontal or vertical placement. A miss of 10 pixels to the left is scored identically to a miss of 10 pixels upward. It is objective, transparent, and independently verifiable by any participant with a calculator.
Q: What are the accuracy tiers and how are points awarded? A: WinPlay scores each submission based on its Euclidean distance from the verified ball centre. A Bullseye (0–2 pixels) earns 5 points, Expert (2–10 pixels) earns 4 points, Great (10–25 pixels) earns 3 points, Good (25–50 pixels) earns 2 points, and Participant (50+ pixels) earns 1 point. Monthly leaderboard standings are calculated from cumulative daily points, and the monthly leader wins the featured grand prize.
Q: What happens if two players submit the exact same coordinate? A: In the extremely rare event of a mathematically identical Euclidean distance between two entries, the participant who submitted their entry earliest in time is declared the winner. Submission timestamps are recorded to the millisecond. This tie-breaker is documented in our Terms and Conditions and applied consistently.
PRIZES & WINNERS
Q: How will I know if I have won? A: Winners are notified within 24 hours of a challenge closing via their registered email address and phone number. Results are also published publicly on our Winners Circle page, which displays each winners name, the prize won, the draw date, and links to both the winners submitted coordinate and the verified ball position for full transparency.
Q: How are prizes delivered and who pays for shipping? A: WinPlay covers all logistics and shipping costs for prizes delivered anywhere within India. We work with established courier partners including BlueDart and DHL. After a winner is confirmed and identity verification is complete, prizes are typically dispatched within 5–7 working days. Winners are provided with a tracking number once the shipment is booked.
Q: What identity verification is required to claim a prize? A: To protect against fraud and verify age eligibility, prize winners are required to provide a valid government-issued ID such as an Aadhaar card or PAN card before a prize is dispatched. This is a one-time verification per winner. Your identity documents are processed securely and are never shared with third parties other than our logistics partners for delivery purposes.
LEGAL & PRIVACY
Q: Is WinPlay legal in India? A: Yes. WinPlay operates as a skill-based precision competition, which is legally distinct from gambling, lottery, or games of chance under Indian law. The Supreme Court of India and multiple High Courts have consistently held that games where the outcome is determined predominantly by skill — rather than chance — are lawful. WinPlays outcome is determined entirely by mathematical precision (Euclidean distance), with no random element whatsoever. WinPlay Private Limited is incorporated in England and Wales (Company No. 16345818) and operates in compliance with applicable Indian and UK laws.
Q: How does WinPlay make money if its free to play? A: WinPlay is funded entirely by advertising revenue through Google AdSense and partner display advertising. Ads are shown in natural breaks in the user journey — specifically in the lobby before a game begins and in the results section after a game closes. We never place ads over active game images, never incentivise ad clicks, and maintain a 100-pixel safety buffer around all gameplay elements to prevent accidental clicks. Full details are in our Ad Integrity Policy.
