Responsible Play

You never pay to enter a BrandMap contest or survey - prizes are funded by the hosting business, not by other players. Most contests reward the players who answer the most questions correctly, so your outcome depends on your knowledge and attention, not chance. Some contests instead use a random draw among everyone who completed the contest, which is shown clearly on that contest before you play.

Indian gaming law generally treats "gambling" as staking something of value on a game of chance - since there's no entry fee here, we believe BrandMap operates outside that definition. Even so, rules on real-money online games vary by state and continue to change, so it's worth knowing which selection method a contest uses, and confirming for yourself that participating is allowed in your state, before you play.

• Treat any winnings as a bonus, not income to rely on.
• Set yourself a personal limit on how much time you spend on contests, and stick to it.
• Take contests for what they are - a fun way to engage with brands you like, not a way to solve financial pressure.

You must be 18 or older to create an account, and eligible under the laws of the state you're in. As of this writing, states including Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Odisha, Sikkim, and Nagaland restrict or ban online real-money games - this list isn't exhaustive and can change, so confirm current law for your state before you play. Employees, contractors, and immediate family members of BrandMap or of the business hosting a specific contest also shouldn't play that contest for a prize - see our Terms of Service. If you or someone you know struggles with compulsive gaming or gambling-like behavior, please don't use real-money contest apps, including this one, and consider reaching out to a local support service.

We actively check for behavior that undermines fair competition - multiple accounts, coordinated submissions from the same device to game a contest, and reused withdrawal details across accounts. Contests you enter are moderated for explicit or violent content before they go live. If something about a contest or another player's behavior seems wrong, please report it to us.

You can close your account at any time from your profile, or by contacting us at support@brandmap.local, if you feel you need to stop playing - including just to take a break. Any wallet balance you've already won remains withdrawable even after you stop playing, subject to the verification and tax-withholding steps described in our Terms of Service.
