How prizes and payouts work

Current reward rules & preserved legacy competitions

A daily Colossus Cup opens only after its host booking and cash reserve are confirmed. Historical competitions and earlier unconverted offers keep their saved terms; the live board identifies the format you are entering.

Existing seven-day Cups: one point per validated credited view at the host exchange, capped at 100 per person per site day in the campaign’s displayed timezone. Gear, critical hits, paid plans and boss damage do not change these points. The seven-day competition is separate from boss health.

Daily Colossus Cup: each hosting exchange uses one $10 token to book a place. Up to two approved exchanges share one daily board and one reserved cash pool: $4 with one confirmed host, $6 with two. The pool can rise or fall with confirmed bookings before the host day starts. Once the day begins, its published prize is locked; a later funding reversal cannot shrink it. It runs from midnight until the next midnight in the displayed site timezone, with fresh points for every host day. Boss defeat, escape or replacement does not end it early.

Only eligible credited views on that day’s booked hosts count toward the same score: 1 Cup point each, with no daily cap. When enabled, a gold Cup becomes ready after 20–50 eligible credited views. Collect it on its original host before the day ends for 10 points plus 1 catch-up point per 10 points behind that daily Cup’s eligible leader, up to 20 extra. The reward is fixed and shown when it appears; one Cup waits at a time. Confirm any overdue presence check before collecting. Gear, boss damage, critical hits and paid plans do not increase Cup points.

Reach 10 eligible credited views combined across either host in that site day to qualify. Bonus points do not replace the required views. At settlement after the host day ends, 50% of the pool is shared equally by all eligible qualifiers, including the top five. The remaining 50% rewards the top five places with 40%, 30%, 15%, 10% and 5% weights for that half. Ties share occupied places; fewer qualifiers normalize the available ranked weights. Deterministic cent rounding applies to both shares; very small shares may round to zero. Five ranks are public, with your own position and award available privately if lower. Both hosting owners and designated test accounts cannot win this daily Cup’s cash.

Daily Cup awards enter earnings after settlement and clear for three days; withdrawal is a separate request subject to the normal account checks. With no eligible qualifiers, no cash is awarded and the unused daily prize reserve returns to Colossari marketing. A delivered host day does not create an owner-wallet refund for that unawarded prize.

Earlier weekly Colossus Cup offers: original account tokens and included benefits may retain a saved weekly format. Read the exact pool, qualification, scoring and Sunday closing time on that booking and board. Historical weekly results retain their original funded pools, exclusions and tie rules; the daily format does not recalculate them.

Daily Earn: the $10 daily price contains a $3 surfer pool and a $7 service fee. At midnight, each eligible surfer receives the fraction of $3 corresponding to their fraction of validated credited views at that TE. Gear and damage boosts do not change shares. Live estimates are provisional and can rise or fall; cent rounding uses largest remainders, then member ID. Test accounts and the sponsoring owner are excluded. No eligible activity means the unused $3 returns to the owner.

For existing seven-day Cups, the top three eligible surfers share 50% / 30% / 20%. With fewer qualifiers those weights are normalized. Tied positions share their combined allocation, including a tie across third place. Remaining cents go by largest fractional remainder, then member ID. The sponsoring owner and designated test accounts are excluded.

Surf Missions: explicitly join to reserve the displayed reward, then complete 25 credited views on three distinct site days within your seven-day deadline. Hold at most one mission per exchange and three overall. Expired reservations release funds. Only views accepted after joining and before the deadline count.

Version 2 pays the full published allocation or reserved reward; the legacy daily money and pool-share caps below do not reduce it. Cash, ichor and exchange credits are separate. The $3 Supporter pass does not improve cash scores, eligibility, withdrawal limits or payout priority. Eligibility also requires an active account; ordinary account and payout checks still apply.

Where the money comes from

Cash pools are reserved from paid host bookings or Colossari’s own promotional funding, according to each contest’s saved terms. Playing eligible contests is free; surfers do not pay an entry fee. Buying gear or a paid plan does not improve Cup points or payout priority.

A pool cannot be overdrawn. The total paid out of an event can never exceed what was paid in for it. That is checked in the code before every award and again by a constraint in the database itself, so a bug in one cannot get past the other.

Unawarded funds follow the contest’s saved return rules. For a delivered daily Cup with no qualifiers, the unused reserve returns to Colossari marketing. Other campaigns may return unused owner-funded rewards to the original owner wallet; check that campaign’s terms.

How you are paid

Skrill or Wise; staff send transfers manually to the payout email saved on your account

Winnings sit for 3 days before they can be withdrawn. That is not us holding your money — it is the window in which a farmed result can be found and reversed before it has left, which is what keeps the prizes worth competing for.

PayPal payouts remain unavailable. Choose Skrill or Wise and save your payout email in Account; earlier destinations are not converted automatically. A provider or email change starts a 72-hour withdrawal hold. Wise may ask you to claim a transfer and provide bank details on Wise; an invitation is not a completed payout. Staff confirm delivery before deducting the reserved amount. Your Purse shows requested, held, cancelled and paid amounts; your earnings and earlier records remain available.

Paying us never helps you win

New paid passes do not affect cash competition points or eligibility. The shared boss uses normal adventure damage, while version 2 cash competitions use equal credited-view points. Existing purchases keep their originally promised benefits.

Gear is bought with ichor, which is earned by playing and cannot be purchased with money at any price. There is no code path from money to ichor, and there will not be one: the moment paying improved your expected winnings, a competition would become something people buy tickets to.

What gets an account stopped

• Autosurfing, bots, macros, remote-control routines or other software that produces credited views while the surfer is away.
• More than one account. One person, one account — accounts sharing an address are flagged for a human to look at.
• Traffic an exchange did not really deliver, however it was arranged.

RapidTab and manually rotating among several exchanges are allowed. Hidden tabs, fast switching and high activity are not proof of cheating. After unusually sustained activity across several exchanges, the plugin may occasionally ask the surfer to tap an “I am here” check within 10 minutes. A single missed check is not a violation and never removes points already earned. After the deadline, only new tournament and cash-event scoring pauses until the surfer confirms. Press the highlighted badge check to resume future scoring; views during the pause do not receive cash points. Boss damage, ichor, levels and normal exchange credit continue.

Each confirmation awards 25 base XP and 5 ichor once, including late confirmations. Repeated clicks give no extra reward. Checks are random after sustained activity, never more than once every three hours. Three missed checks within 30 days create a staff review item, not an automatic suspension. Colossari does not use tab focus alone and does not collect page contents, keystrokes or a browser fingerprint for these checks.

A flagged account keeps playing and keeps placing. Only withdrawals wait, until somebody has looked. If we get it wrong, say so — a flag is a question, not a verdict.

Strikes are limited to 900 an hour per person, and an account newer than 3 days plays and ranks normally but does not yet count toward legacy cash events.
