Promoter. The competition is run by Jason Gerard Smith trading as THESCIP Intelligence Platform (ABN 23 498 575 260), Brisbane QLD 4006 ("THESCIP", "we").
Competition period. The competition opens on 3 October 2026 and closes at 11:59:59 pm AEST (Brisbane time) on 28 February 2027. A referral counts only if its payment succeeds within this period.
Who can enter. Entry is by invitation. Lifetime Pro members of THESCIP who hold an active referral code are entered automatically and free of charge. There is no age or residency restriction. THESCIP's own accounts are not eligible. Entrants are responsible for making sure that taking part is lawful where they live.
How it works. Each entrant has a unique referral code and link. A referral counts when a person who uses that link or code buys a new THESCIP Pro season subscription, or upgrades from Start to Pro, and the payment succeeds.
What counts. The buyer must be new to Pro. They must not hold Pro access of any kind at the time of purchase (including through a Reddit Season Pass or Lifetime Pro) and must never have paid for Pro before. Reddit Season Pass purchases, Start-only subscriptions, free accounts and purchases paid at A$0 do not count. Each buyer counts once only.
Who gets the credit. If a buyer used more than one referral link or code, the last one clicked or entered before they started the purchase gets the credit.
Self-referral and fair play. Referrals made by an entrant to themselves, including through the same account, email address or payment account, do not count. We may review referrals that share payment details and may remove any referral we reasonably believe is not genuine, including purchases funded by the entrant or made through fake accounts.
Refunds and chargebacks. A referral is removed if its payment is refunded, or reversed through a lost chargeback, on or before 31 March 2027 (Brisbane time).
Winning. The entrant with the most counted referrals wins. If entrants are tied, the one who reached the tied total first, measured by payment time, wins. If they are still level to the second, the prize is split equally between them.
Results. A live leaderboard is visible to entrants, showing first name and last initial only. Results are final at the end of 31 March 2027 (Brisbane time).
Prize. One prize of A$500 cash, split only as set out in clause 9. The winner will be notified by email by 7 April 2027 and announced to entrants. The prize is paid by bank transfer in Australian dollars within 14 days of the winner confirming their details. THESCIP pays its own sending fee, and the winner bears any receiving or currency-conversion fees. If the winner does not confirm their details within 30 days of notification, the prize passes to the next-placed entrant.
Tax. The winner is responsible for any tax payable on the prize where they live.
Game of skill. The result is decided solely by the number of counted referrals. No element of chance is involved.
Changes. If the competition cannot run as planned because of fraud, technical failure or anything else beyond our reasonable control, we may change, suspend or end it, and will tell entrants.
Privacy. Personal information is used only to run the competition and pay the prize, and is not shared for any other purpose.
