🎁 Gifting & Gift Conversion

17. Gifts Do Not Determine Scores

⚠️ IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION:

Receiving gifts does not directly determine a candidate's score or ranking in the competition. Gifts are a form of appreciation and support from fans. Only the total number of votes a candidate accumulates counts toward the final score and contribute determining the outcome of the contest. A candidate with many gifts but few votes will not rank higher than a candidate with fewer gifts but more votes.

18. Converting Gifts to Votes

Every gift a candidate receives can be converted into votes at any time before the event ends. Once a gift is converted into votes, those votes are immediately locked into the candidate's final score and cannot be reversed.

Conversion is done at a 1:1 ratio — 1 point of gift value = 1 vote. Candidates can convert their full gift balance or any portion of it, at any time, from their dashboard. Candidates may also choose to convert their gift balance into votes for another candidate of their choice.

19. Unconverted Gifts — 50/50 Settlement

Important — please read carefully:

Any gift that is not converted to votes before the end of the show will be settled at 50% of its value to the candidate.

The remaining 50% is retained by Classic Queen International as an administrative and platform fee. This covers payment processing costs, platform operations, and administrative handling of the settlement.

To receive the full value of any gift, it must be converted into votes before the voting line closes. Once the show ends, unconverted balances are automatically settled at 50%.

Example: A candidate with 100.00 pts of unconverted gift balance at the end of the show receives 50.00 pts; the remaining 50.00 pts is retained as the platform fee.

20. When to Convert

Candidates are encouraged to:

  • Monitor their gift balance regularly from their dashboard
  • Convert gifts to votes before the voting window closes to avoid the 50% settlement
  • Track conversion history from the dashboard at any time

💳 Wallet & Points Policy

21. What Your Wallet Is For

Every registered user has a wallet on Classic Queen International. The wallet holds in-app points that are used for two things only:

  • Voting — cast votes for your favorite candidates
  • Gifting — send gifts to support candidates

Points are a form of in-app credit, not a bank account, and are not intended as a store of value.

22. No Withdrawals

⚠️ WALLET BALANCE CANNOT BE WITHDRAWN:

Points purchased or received in your Classic Queen International wallet cannot be withdrawn as cash, transferred to another user, or moved to an external account under any circumstances. The wallet is a closed in-app system designed exclusively for voting and gifting within the platform.

23. No Refunds

⚠️ WALLET TOP-UPS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE:

All wallet top-ups are final. Once points are added to your wallet, the transaction is non-refundable. This includes:

  • Points purchased but not used
  • Points purchased in error
  • Points left over at the end of a season
  • Points intended for a specific candidate who later withdraws or is disqualified

24. Exhaust Your Balance Before the Season Ends

Users are strongly encouraged to exhaust their wallet balance before the current season's voting window closes. Any unused balance simply carries over to the next season of the contest — it does not expire and it does not convert to cash.

On the next season's launch, you can use any carried-over balance for the same purpose: voting for and gifting the new set of candidates. This is the only way to use your remaining points.

Summary: Unused points are neither refunded nor withdrawn. They remain in your wallet and are available for the next season.

25. Secure Payments — Powered by Flutterwave

All payments on Classic Queen International are processed through Flutterwave, a leading pan-African payment technology company trusted by thousands of businesses across the continent and worldwide.

Flutterwave handles all card payments, bank transfers, mobile money, and local currency processing securely. Your card details are never stored on our servers — payment information is entered directly into Flutterwave's PCI-DSS compliant checkout and only the confirmation is returned to us.
