RULES.

Last updated November 2026

1 · WHO CAN PLAY

  • You need a Botswana mobile number.
  • If you are under 18, a parent or guardian has to agree before you can claim a prize.
  • One account per number, and one person per account.
  • Anyone who works on Dark Pool, and their immediate family, can play but cannot win a prize.

2 · WHEN IT RUNS

  • Every Sunday, 6pm to 7pm, Botswana time.
  • The clock starts at 6pm for everyone at once, whether or not you are on the page.
  • You can start late, but your time is still counted from 6pm.
  • At 7pm the quiz closes. A run you have not finished by then does not count.
  • Our server's clock decides the time, not your phone's.

3 · HOW THE QUIZ WORKS

  • Five questions, shown one at a time.
  • Each question has 50 options. Only one is correct.
  • Pick an option, then press Lock in. Once locked, an answer cannot be changed.
  • Answer correctly and the next question opens.
  • Answer wrongly and you are out for that week. You will not see the remaining questions.
  • One run per account per week. There are no second attempts, whatever goes wrong.

4 · HOW YOU WIN

  • Answer all five questions correctly.
  • The two fastest finishers win.
  • Your time runs from 6pm to the moment you lock in your fifth correct answer.
  • Times are recorded on our server, so a slow phone or a slow connection is not something we can adjust for.

5 · THE PRIZES

  • P500 each to the two fastest finishers.
  • Entry is free.
  • We send your P500 by E-Wallet to the mobile number on your account, within 5 working days of the quiz.
  • We pay that number and no other. We cannot pay a prize to someone else on your behalf.
  • A prize cannot be swapped for anything else.

6 · TIES, AND NOBODY FINISHING

  • Times are recorded to the millisecond, so an exact tie is very unlikely.
  • If two players do tie for a prize place, they share that prize.
  • If only one player finishes, that player wins P500 and the second prize is not paid.
  • If nobody finishes, no prize is paid that week.

7 · FAIR PLAY

  • Do not pass answers to anyone during the hour.
  • Do not use more than one account.
  • Do not use software to answer for you.
  • We may hold a prize back while we check a result.
  • Where we find cheating we may refuse the prize and close the account. On this, our decision is final.

8 · YOUR DETAILS

  • We keep your name and mobile number, so that we can run the quiz and pay winners.
  • If you win, we show your first name on the results page. We never show your number.
  • We do not sell your details or pass them to anyone else.

9 · CHANGES

  • We may change the prize, the timing or these rules.
  • Any change is posted here and takes effect the following Sunday, never during a quiz.
  • We may cancel a week's quiz if something goes wrong with the site. No prize is paid for a cancelled week.
