1. The contest

Every calendar month, measured in UTC, we award up to $1,000 in prizes to the referrers whose referees earned the most Drip Points from faucets during that month. Each month is a separate contest, an “edition”, with its own standings. Scores start again from zero every month. Referral links do not.

No purchase or payment of any kind is needed to take part, and none would improve your chances. You cannot deposit on Drips, and nothing about the contest is for sale. Prizes are shown in US dollars and credited as Drip Points, at 100,000 DP for each $1.

An edition's prize table, caps and minimums are fixed when the edition is created, before its month begins, and do not change while it runs. The values on this page apply to editions created under the rules of October 30, 2026. If we change them for a later edition, we update this page before that edition starts.

2. Who can take part

Anyone with a Drips account in good standing takes part automatically, as long as all of the following are true:

• you meet every condition in section 3 of the Terms of Service, including being at least 18, holding one account only, and not being someone we are barred from serving;
• you do not work for Drips Technology SRL, as an employee or a contractor, and you do not live with someone who does; and
• taking part is lawful where you live. The contest is void where the law prohibits it, and checking that is your responsibility.

3. Your referral link

Every account has one permanent link of the form drips.gg/r/<code>, shown on the Referrals page once you sign in. The code is random. It is not your username, so renaming yourself never breaks it, and it never expires.

Anyone who creates a new Drips account through your link becomes your referee. The link between you is recorded once, at the moment the account is created, and never changes afterwards:

• accounts that already exist can never be added, and a referee can never move to another referrer;
• you cannot be your own referee; and
• the usual sign-up rules still apply. A referee must be able to open an account in the first place, from a country we support and without a VPN, a proxy or a hosting network. A link only brings in people who could sign up anyway.

Share your link honestly. Do not spam it, do not post it where a platform forbids it, and do not present yourself as Drips or as acting for us.

4. The monthly window and the cutoff

An edition runs from 00:00 UTC on the first day of the month until 00:00 UTC on the first day of the next. Only earnings made inside that window count.

During the month we recompute the standings every 6 hours, at 00:00, 06:00, 12:00 and 18:00 UTC. Those standings are provisional: they show where things stand, not who has won.

Every figure is final at the cutoff, 14 days after the month ends, at 00:00 UTC. The wait exists so that offerwall chargebacks, reversals and account reviews land before anything is decided. Earnings from the month that are reversed or refunded before the cutoff do not count, and each account's status at the cutoff is what counts for that edition.

5. What counts toward your score

Your score is the Drip Points your qualified referees (section 6) earned from faucets during the month, after the caps in section 6. A reward is valued the way your balance values it, less any part a faucet refunded. These earnings count:

• faucet claims;
• PTC (paid-to-click) rewards;
• ads, including shortlinks;
• offerwall completions;
• challenge rewards; and
• level rewards.

These do not count:

• affiliate commissions a faucet pays, which would count the same earnings twice;
• contests, arcade and multiplayer prizes run by a faucet, and grants a faucet owner gives by hand;
• winnings from promotional games;
• prizes from this contest, including earlier editions;
• rewards that were reversed or refunded; and
• any new or unrecognised kind of earning, until we add it to the list above.

6. Minimums and caps

A referee is qualified for an edition when they earned at least 5,000 DP that count, from at least 2 different faucets, during the month, and nothing in section 7 excludes them. Only qualified referees add to your score.

• Cap per referee. At most 50,000 DP of one referee's earnings count each month. The contest rewards bringing in many active people, not one big earner.
• Cap per faucet. No single faucet can make up more than 25% of your counted total. The share is measured against your total before this cap, and anything above it is left out.

An example with 12 qualified referees:

7. Who doesn't count, and who can't win

The same conditions apply to referrers and to referees. While an account meets any of them, it cannot win a place, and as a referee it does not count:

• it is frozen, banned or closed, or a closure is under way;
• it has any verification pending: any check we have asked it to complete, of any kind, including a face review;
• its redemptions are on hold after a risk review, or its country is one we cannot serve under sanctions; or
• we have excluded it from the edition under section 11.

Two further rules decide only which referees count:

• a referee who signed up from the same IP address as you, or who has used a device you have used, does not count; and
• among your referees who signed up from the same IP address, only the one who earned the most counts.

These rules change what counts and nothing else. On their own they never freeze or ban an account, and they never trigger a check.

When it is checked. On every recomputation during the month, a referee with a pending check shows as not counted, and counts again once the check is passed. At the cutoff, each account's status is final. Before prizes are credited, every winner is checked once more: a winner with anything pending at that moment loses the place, and the places below are filled again from the ranking.

You always see how many of your referees count and how many do not. We never say why a particular referee does not count, for the reason the Terms give: it would teach the next person how to avoid the check.

The contest never asks anyone for a face check by itself. Under the Terms, our fraud controls may ask any account to verify at any time, including yours and your referees', and unusual patterns in contest activity, such as bursts of sign-ups or earnings concentrated on one faucet, are among the things that can lead to a check.

8. Ranking, places and ties

Every referrer with a score above zero who is not excluded is ranked by score, highest first. Ties are broken by the number of qualified referees, more first, then by the age of the account, older first.

Places decide prizes. We fill them in order, from 1 to 50: each place goes to the best-ranked referrer not yet placed who has enough qualified referees for it. Places 1 to 10 need at least 10. Places 11 to 50 need at least 3. A referrer with 3 to 9 qualified referees can therefore win place 11 at best, even with the highest score.

When fewer referrers qualify than there are places, the remaining places stay unfilled. Their prizes are not awarded and not shared out among other winners. For example, if only four referrers have 10 or more qualified referees, places 5 to 10 stay empty, and place 11 goes to the best-ranked remaining referrer with at least 3.

9. Prizes

Prizes are credited as Drip Points to the winning account once the result is reviewed and approved (section 10). Each prize is credited in parts of at most $10, and the parts are released into your available balance over the following 7 days. A part is pending until it is released.

Once released, prize points are ordinary Drip Points under the Terms. You can redeem them like the rest of your available balance, including through the automatic hourly redemptions, and use them in promotional games. They can expire or be forfeited like any other points. We do not promise that a prize, or any part of it, is redeemed by a particular date. Prize points never count toward a later edition and never count as earnings from faucets. Prize points that are forfeited or voided go back to Drips, not to a faucet.

• Nothing is redeemed while the winning account has a verification pending or is restricted.
• If a ban on the winning account stands for 30 days, prize points it has not yet redeemed are voided.
• Prizes are personal. They cannot be transferred, exchanged for cash, or swapped for anything other than a reward the Terms allow.

We tell each winner by email once their prize is credited.

10. Results, review and approval

After the cutoff we compute the final standings and review them. Two different members of our team must approve the result before any prize is credited. The review takes as long as it needs, so we do not promise a date for crediting. Until prizes are credited, standings, ranks and places remain provisional. They can still change, for example when a check is answered or an account is excluded, and we recompute them when that happens.

The public leaderboard shows the top 50 of an edition with masked usernames (for example cr•••er), scores and prizes. It never shows who your referees are.

11. Fair play, and what we may do

We may exclude an account from an edition, disqualify a referrer or a referee, or withhold a prize, where we reasonably believe the contest is being abused or these rules or the Terms are being broken. That includes:

• referees who are the same person as you, or accounts you or someone acting for you controls;
• accounts created or operated by bots, scripts or farms;
• buying, selling or renting accounts or sign-ups;
• a faucet owner rewarding their own referees on their own faucet to win the pool; and
• coordinated activity meant to inflate scores rather than to use faucets.

We record every exclusion and every voided prize with its reason. We do not have to tell you which signal led to a decision. We may change, suspend or cancel an edition, or the contest itself, for a fraud, legal or operational reason, or if it cannot run as described here. If we cancel an edition before its prizes are credited, no prizes are awarded for it. Prizes already credited stay credited, subject to this section and section 12.

12. Voiding a prize

We may void any prize, before or after it is credited. Reasons include abuse of the contest, fraud, multiple accounts, anything listed in section 11, and any other breach of the Terms or these rules.

• Before it is credited. It is never credited.
• After it is credited. Every part of it still in your account is withdrawn, whether it is still pending or already released into your available balance.
• Parts already redeemed. These are not taken back through your Drips account.

Voided prize points go back to Drips, not to a faucet. A voided prize stays in your activity, marked as voided, with its support reference. Voiding a prize does not limit anything else we may do under section 11 or the Terms. If you think we have made a mistake, contact us (section 15).

13. Taxes

You alone are responsible for declaring your prizes and paying any tax on them, wherever you live. We cannot give you tax advice.

14. Your data

Running the contest uses data the Privacy Policy already describes: account status, sign-up network and device signals, and the rewards your referees earned. Usernames on the public leaderboard are always masked.

15. Questions

For anything about your standing or a prize, including a voided one, use the support page or write to [email protected]. For a prize, quote the support reference shown with it in your activity. Questions about these rules go to [email protected]. Section 15 of the Terms, on disputes and governing law, applies to the contest too.
