Open a box. Earn points.
Climb the championship.

Yes. Creating an account and playing is completely free, and no purchase or payment is ever required to enter or win. There are no paid offers to complete — you earn everything through the free daily quizzes and bonus games.

You earn round points by answering the daily quizzes inside your boxes, and by playing the bonus games (Bridge, Spin Wheel, and Hi-Lo) when they unlock. The more accurately and consistently you play, the higher you climb.

Boxes are your daily challenges. Three unlock each day, each containing a quick skill-based quiz. They open one at a time, with a short break in between, and reset every day so there's always something new to play.

Bridge, Spin Wheel, and Hi-Lo are quick mini-games that can unlock during the break after a box — if you've answered enough quiz questions correctly. They're worth bonus points but are only playable during that break.

A round runs for a set period. When it ends, the top 10 players earn championship points on a motorsport-style scale. Those points add up across all the rounds in a season, and the player on top at the end wins the grand prize.

Prizes are awarded as Amazon.com Gift Cards. The number of prizes and their value vary between championships and are shown on each championship's page before the drawing opens. Full details are in our Official Rules.

No. Winstep is an independent platform. It is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Amazon, and Amazon is not a sponsor of any Winstep promotion. Amazon.com Gift Cards are used only as prizes, subject to Amazon's own terms.

You must be at least 18 years old and registered with Winstep. The competition is void where prohibited or restricted by law, and some regions may be excluded from prize eligibility for certain promotions. See the Official Rules for details.

No. There are no paid tasks or offers. Winstep is supported by standard on-page advertising, and you earn points purely by playing the free quizzes and games. No paid action will ever increase your chances of winning.

If two players finish level, the tie is broken in order by championship points, then total round points, then total activity, then number of correct quiz answers, and finally by who reached their total first. The full method is set out in the Official Rules.

No. Each player may hold only one account. Creating multiple or fake accounts, using bots, or colluding with others leads to disqualification and account termination. We verify gameplay on our servers to keep things fair.

When a championship ends, winners receive their prize by email as an Amazon.com Gift Card code — there's nothing extra to claim, since your age and eligibility are confirmed when you register. The one exception: U.S. winners who reach $600 or more in a calendar year will need to provide tax documentation before a prize is issued.

Yes. Prizes are Amazon.com (US) gift cards, redeemable worldwide at amazon.com. If you don't already have a US Amazon account, you can create one for free in a couple of minutes. Once redeemed, the code adds balance to your amazon.com account. Please note the code loads only on amazon.com — not on regional sites such as amazon.de, amazon.co.uk, or amazon.fr — so always redeem it at amazon.com.
