Play On – Challenge a Friend
Creator Program Policy
Effective Date: October __, 2025
- Introduction
- This Creator Program Policy (“Policy”) governs your participation in the Creator Program (“Program”) of Play On - Challenge a Friend (“Platform”), operated by Papaya Stars Ltd. (“Papaya Stars”).
- By enrolling or participating in the Program, you agree to this Policy, as well as to our Terms of Use (“Terms”), Privacy Policy and Community Guidelines, all of which continue to apply in full. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Terms.
- The Program allows eligible players (“Creators”) to earn rewards based on how people interact with their Content. It is meant to motivate Creators to keep sharing quality Content and make our community more engaging for everyone.
- Tiers, Rewards and Payout Mechanism
- The Program offers two tiers for Creators:
- “Entry Tier”:
- Granted upon meeting the minimum eligibility criteria as set forth in Section 3.1 below, after Papaya Stars reviews and approves your participation.
- Entry Tier Creators will be eligible to earn in-game benefits such as Coins and Tickets for all Content they post, such as posting Challenges, recording and publishing participation in a Challenge, or recording and publishing a Live Competition session - which will be added to your account on the Platform. There is no cost for creating a Challenge, and the number of Coins and Tickets you will earn will depend on several factors, as set forth in the Creator Hub.
- “Pro Tier”:
- Based on your level of activity and engagement as an Entry Tier Creator, Papaya Stars may invite you to join our Pro Tier. While you may apply to join the Pro Tier at any time, selection for the Pro Tier is entirely at Papaya Stars’ discretion, and will be based on our review of your profile and Content.
- Eligibility for Pro Tier is determined by meeting internal performance thresholds set by Papaya Stars. When evaluating your performance for Pro Tier eligibility, we will consider the engagement metrics, as shown in the Creator Hub, including total Challenge participants, reactions, views, followers, likes and shares.
- Pro Tier Creators are eligible to earn monetary rewards in addition to Coins and Tickets, credited to their Platform account ("Monetary Rewards"). All provisions relating to Monetary Rewards under this Policy shall be interpreted and applied in accordance with our Terms. This includes, without limitation, (i) terms concerning withdrawals and eligibility to withdraw (and Papaya Stars’ discretion to modify such terms without prior notice), (ii) identity-verification requirements, (iii) currency conversion, and (iv) your obligation to comply with the terms and policies of third-party payout services.
