ELIGIBILITY RULES

All TryTrivia games are available to anyone 18 years of age or older, residing in the U.S.
The speed of a player's Internet connection will not be a factor in determining the winner.
Dial-up and high speed connections have equal chance to win.
A day runs from 12:00 AM to 11:45 PM (ET).


LIMITS ON WINNERS

In order to give the most number of players a chance to win prize money on TryTrivia
we are installing the following limits:

A player is limited to $100 in winnings for each 30 day period
Each day a player will only collect the highest single prize won on that particular day.
Example: A player comes in second in a shootout and wins $2.00.
The same player then on the same day wins a Fast 5 game for $5.00.
In this case $5.00 is credited to the player's account. All the other
shootout players will move up one place in the leader board. This might
result in a higher prize to the player moving up.

All scores posted during a current game day are not final. Final results for a game will be posted the following day. Since a player is only allowed to keep the highest prize won during a single day, there is a chance a player may receive a higher prize than originally indicated. E-mail notification of winners and the amount of the prize will be made the day after the game is actually played.


IF A PLAYER LEAVES TRYTRIVIA DURING A GAME

Any time a player happens to click on any link while playing a game, then that game will be over and not be counted. Once an actual game is started it must be completed. A player can return to any non-game page by either clicking the "Back" button or by clicking on a link to TryTrivia.com if a player does not return within 20 minutes, they will have to log in again. In shootouts, clicking to leave the game causes that specific game to be cancelled.
