These are the official rules for the Biddurs rewards programme: points, the daily spin, containers, Finds, Goals, chat points, The Vault, giveaways, referrals, Biddurs credit and The Whip. They form part of the Terms of Service.
The promoter is Robert Scotts Commerce LTD, Unit 2 Forty Acres, Coombe Road, Petersfield, GU32 1PP (company number 14252682). Apple and Google are not sponsors of, and are not involved in, these promotions in any way.
UK residents aged 18 or over with a Biddurs account. One account per person. Credit prizes are available to accounts with a verified email and a saved card that are at least 7 days old. No purchase is needed. Until then, the gold slice and container credit pay points instead, and the app tells you before you spin or open.
Spins, containers and giveaways are free. There is no way to buy points, spins or containers, and buying, bidding or selling does not improve your chances. Points never depend on how much you spend. Everyone gets the same odds.
You earn points from the daily spin, from streaks (signing in, watching shows and bidding on consecutive days, and going live for sellers), from chatting, from Goals, from The Vault, and when a credit prize is paid as points. Each streak pays 1 point a day, rising to 10 a day by day 10, and all streaks together pay at most 30 points a day. A chat message of four or more real words, in a live show or on The Floor, earns 1 point, up to 5 points a day; messages at least 30 seconds apart count, and repeated messages, very short messages, a seller's messages in their own show, and messages held or removed by moderation do not. Goals are tasks in the Goals tab you complete once, each paying the points shown once per account when our records show it is done. The current amounts are shown in the app.
You get one free spin a day. Every result is points, except the gold slice, which is Biddurs credit paid from The Whip. Its value is set once a day, at the start of the UK day, from the daily drop (section 8), and is at most £1. The wheel shows the value and the odds of every slice before you spin. If there is no daily drop that day, the drop available at that moment cannot cover it, or you have already won a credit prize that day, the gold slice shows 25 points instead, and that is what it pays. If your account cannot take credit yet, the app says so before you spin and the gold slice pays you 25 points. If the value or the odds change while the wheel is open, you are asked to spin again and your spin is not used.
Containers are opened with points. The points cost and the odds of each rarity are shown in the app before you open. Containers also include bad luck protection: you are guaranteed an item of Rare or better within 400 items and Epic or better within 2,500, so you may get rare items more often than the odds alone suggest. Finds are collectibles: they have no money value, cannot be sold, traded or exchanged, and only exist inside Biddurs. Duplicates turn into Scrap, which you can use to craft other Finds. A container can also contain Biddurs credit. Each container has its own chance and its own list of credit prizes, with how often each one comes up, and both are shown in the app before you open it (for example 1 in 10,000 for a Mystery bag, paying 10p, 20p or 50p, and 1 in 125 for a Cargo ship, paying 50p up to £10). A credit prize is only paid when the daily drop available at that moment covers it and you have not already won a credit prize that day; the app shows before you open which prizes can be paid right now, and any that cannot show as 5 points, which is what they pay.
The result of every spin and container is decided at random by our server, at the odds shown, before the animation starts. The animation is for show only. It does not affect the result and does not show how close you came to any other prize.
1% of every completed sale on Biddurs goes into The Whip, out of the seller fee. Every credit prize is paid from The Whip and is taken out of The Whip when it is won. Robert Scotts Commerce LTD may also add its own money to The Whip as a top-up; top-ups are recorded separately from the 1% of sales and are a reserve that daily prizes never use. 30% of what comes in from sales builds an event fund for future events, which daily prizes never use either. Each UK day's credit prizes come from a daily drop: 60% of what came into The Whip from sales the day before, and never more than The Whip holds above the top-ups and the event fund, so The Whip keeps growing. When the daily drop would be under £10 there are no credit prizes that day and the app says so. The drop is released through the day, hour by hour in line with when people use Biddurs, with any unused part carried into the next hour; what is unused at midnight stays in The Whip. A credit prize is only paid when the drop released so far covers it. Each person can win one credit prize a day across the spin, containers and The Vault. The odds stay the same all day and are shown before every spin and open. The Whip total and today's values are shown in the app, along with the usernames of recent credit winners, what they won and when. Every payment into and out of The Whip is recorded.
During live shows a vault fills up on screen and opens from time to time. How full it looks and the sales that seem to charge it are for show only: when it opens and what it lands on are decided at random by our server, and buying, bidding or how much you spend never changes either. When it opens, one result is drawn at the odds shown in the app: a miss, points for everyone in the draw, points for one person, a song request, a host challenge, or Biddurs credit for one person. The draw is everyone who has sent a chat message in that show in the last 10 minutes and is still watching, except the seller. Credit from The Vault (50p or £1) is paid from the same daily drop, is limited to £10 a day across all shows, and goes only to an account that can take credit prizes (see section 2) and has not already won a credit prize that day; if nobody in the draw can, the result is points instead. The animation is for show only, as in section 7.
Sellers may run free giveaways in their shows. Nobody pays to enter, and the winner pays nothing. The Giveaway Rules set out who can win, how the winner is drawn and how prizes are sent.
If someone signs up with your invite link or code and completes their first paid purchase, you get the referral credit shown on the Invite and earn screen. Referral credit is not available for your own accounts, and credit gained through fake or duplicate accounts is removed.
Credit can only be spent on Biddurs purchases. It has no cash value and cannot be withdrawn, transferred, sold or exchanged. Credit and points expire after 12 months without signing in, with emails 30 and 7 days before; credit never expires while there is no way to spend it on Biddurs. Expired credit goes back into The Whip.
How we may change these rules is set out in section 6 of the Terms of Service. We will give at least 30 days notice of any change that reduces the value of points or credit you already hold, except in the cases below.
We may remove or correct points, credit, Finds, prizes or rank progress, cancel a prize before or after it is paid, and restrict, suspend or close an account if we reasonably believe you have: cheated or tried to cheat; used bots, scripts or other automation; run more than one account, or shared an account; exploited a bug, glitch or mistake in prices, odds or prizes; got rewards through fraud, a chargeback or an order that was cancelled or refunded; abused, harassed or threatened anyone; or broken these rules, the Terms of Service or the Community Guidelines. We may also correct anything awarded by mistake. Points, credit and Finds earned while Biddurs is in testing, before it opens to the public, may be reset when we launch. We will tell you what we did and why, and you can ask us to review it (section 10 of the Terms of Service).
