1. Introduction
These Competition Rules (“Rules”) govern participation in competitions operated by Square Funded (“Square Funded,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).
By registering for or participating in a competition, participants acknowledge that they have read and understood these Rules, along with the applicable Terms & Conditions, Simulated Account Disclosure, and Trading Risk Disclosure.
Each competition may have additional rules, eligibility requirements, deadlines, and reward conditions published on its competition page.
2. Eligibility
Participants must:
- Meet the minimum age requirement stated on the relevant competition page and applicable law.
- Provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date registration information.
- Comply with applicable laws and regulations in their jurisdiction.
- Use only accounts registered in their own name, unless expressly permitted.
- Meet all competition-specific eligibility requirements.
Square Funded may restrict participation in jurisdictions where the competition is prohibited or where the required legal approvals have not been obtained.
3. Registration and Entry
Participants must complete the registration process and satisfy the requirements specified for the relevant competition.
Any participation fee, account purchase, or other payment requirement must be clearly disclosed before registration. Payment does not guarantee a reward or winning outcome.
Do not launch a paid-entry competition until its entry structure and prize model have been reviewed and approved for the relevant jurisdictions.
4. Competition Format
The competition will use a simulated trading account unless the applicable account terms explicitly state otherwise.
The competition page will specify:
- Starting virtual balance
- Competition start and end dates
- Target balance or performance objective
- Permitted trading instruments and strategies
- Applicable drawdown and risk limits
- Minimum trading activity, if any
- Reward amount and number of eligible recipients
- Any additional qualification requirements
Participants must follow the rules displayed for their specific competition. If these Rules conflict with competition-specific terms, the applicable terms will explain which provisions take priority, subject to applicable law.
5. Performance Target and Qualification
Where a competition requires participants to reach a specified virtual account balance, participants must meet the target within the stated competition period and comply with all applicable rules.
For example, if the published target is a virtual balance of $100,000, reaching that balance alone does not automatically guarantee a reward. Participants must also satisfy the competition’s eligibility, risk-management, verification, and other qualification requirements.
The starting balance, target, calculation method, and any excluded trading activity must be clearly published before entry.
6. Risk Management and Trading Rules
Participants must comply with all account-specific trading rules, including applicable daily drawdown, maximum drawdown, position-size restrictions, prohibited strategies, and other risk limits.
Square Funded may review account activity for rule violations, technical irregularities, or attempts to manipulate competition results.
Any disqualification must be based on the published rules and applicable law. Where reasonably possible, participants will be informed of the relevant reason and any available review process.
7. Rewards and Prizes
The reward amount, currency, number of potential recipients, qualification criteria, and payment timeline will be stated on the relevant competition page.
If the published competition offers a reward of ₹10,000 per eligible winner, that amount is subject to the applicable competition terms, verification, and legal requirements.
Before launching, Square Funded must specify whether the reward is:
- A fixed prize for each qualifying participant;
- A prize for a limited number of ranked winners; or
- A reward subject to a separate eligibility or performance review.
These models are different and must not be used interchangeably in advertising or competition terms.
No reward is guaranteed merely by purchasing an account, registering, or participating. Any reward decision must follow the published criteria and applicable law.
8. Verification and Reward Processing
Before a reward is approved, Square Funded may request reasonable information to verify identity, eligibility, account ownership, and compliance with the competition rules.
Participants must provide accurate information and complete any required verification within the stated timeframe.
The competition page should specify the expected processing period, permitted payment methods, any applicable fees, and how participants will be notified of the outcome. Any delay or refusal must be handled in accordance with the published terms and applicable law.
9. Prohibited Conduct
Participants must not:
- Use another person’s identity or account without authorization.
- Manipulate account records, results, or competition systems.
- Exploit technical errors or vulnerabilities.
- Use bots, unauthorized automation, or prohibited trading methods.
- Coordinate prohibited activity with other participants.
- Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information.
- Interfere with the platform or other participants.
- Engage in conduct expressly prohibited by the published competition rules.
Square Funded may investigate suspected violations and take proportionate action consistent with the published rules and applicable law.
10. Technical Issues and Disputes
Participants are responsible for maintaining reliable internet access and compatible devices.
If a platform outage, data error, or other technical issue materially affects a competition, Square Funded will assess the issue fairly and communicate any appropriate action, such as correcting records, extending a deadline, or cancelling the affected competition where necessary.
Participants may submit a written dispute through the official contact channel listed on the website. The submission should include the account details, competition name, relevant dates, and supporting evidence. Personal or sensitive account information should be shared only through an appropriate secure channel.
11. Disqualification and Cancellation
A participant may be disqualified only in accordance with the published rules and applicable law, including where a material rule violation or fraudulent activity is established.
Square Funded may suspend, modify, or cancel a competition where required by law, a material technical issue, suspected abuse, or circumstances beyond reasonable control. Where appropriate, participants will be notified and any refunds or other remedies will be handled under the applicable terms and law.
12. Taxes and Fees
Participants are responsible for understanding their tax obligations in their jurisdiction. Any withholding, reporting, or deductions required by law will be handled in accordance with applicable requirements and disclosed where required.
13. Privacy and Data Protection
Information collected for registration, eligibility checks, account verification, and reward processing will be handled in accordance with Square Funded’s Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection laws.
14. Changes to These Rules
Square Funded may update these Rules when necessary. Material changes will be communicated as appropriate. Changes will not be applied retroactively in a way that unfairly removes rights already earned under the published rules, except where required by law.
The version applicable to a competition and its effective date should be made available to participants.
15. No Guarantee of Trading Results
Simulated trading performance does not establish that a participant will achieve similar results in live markets. Virtual balances and simulated profits are not cash balances or withdrawable trading profits.
Any reward is governed by the published competition terms and is not a promise of ongoing income or future trading success.
