XP Contest Rules

Rules version 2 · Last updated 24 September 2026

These are the official rules of the KhelMandala XP Contest (“the Contest”). The Contest is run by Manicod (“we”, “us”), the publisher of the KhelMandala app. You must accept these rules in the app before you can win a prize. If you have a question, email support@manicod.com.

1. Who runs the Contest

The Contest is run and paid for by Manicod. Google, Google Play and Google Play Games are not sponsors of the Contest, do not endorse it and are not responsible for it. Any question or complaint about the Contest must be sent to us, not to Google.

2. Free entry

No purchase or payment of any kind is needed to take part or to win. KhelMandala has no in-app purchases. Watching ads is never required, and it doesn’t improve your chance of winning: ads can give in-game coins and help items, but never XP.

3. Who can win

Anyone who can use KhelMandala may play. A contest’s leaderboard shows only the players who joined that contest. To be eligible to win a contest’s prize, you must:

1. Join that contest in the app and accept the current version of these rules;
2. Sign in with Google Play Games in the app, so your account is linked to a Play Games profile;
3. Be 18 years of age or older when you claim the prize;
4. Use only one KhelMandala account. Playing on several accounts to win, or letting someone else play on your account, makes you ineligible; and
5. not be an employee of Manicod or a member of an employee’s immediate family or household.

You join each contest separately. You can’t join a contest whose dates overlap one you are already in, and you can’t leave a contest to join a different one — you stay in the contest you joined until it ends. If we cancel the contest you joined, you are free to join another. You can join a contest before it starts. If we change these rules in a way you must agree to, the app will show you the new version, and you won’t be eligible again until you accept it. You can leave the Contest at any time in the app. Once you leave, you aren’t eligible for any contest that hasn’t yet closed, and leaving doesn’t let you join a different contest instead.

4. Contest periods

There is a contest only when the app shows one, with its dates and prize. Each contest covers whole days — one day, one week (Monday to Sunday), one calendar month, or a set run of dates — and runs from 00:00 India Standard Time (IST) on its first day until 00:00 IST after its last day. More than one contest can run at the same time, each with its own dates and prize; you can be in only one of them at a time (section 3). The start and end are decided by our server’s clock, not by your phone’s clock. The app shows the contest’s dates and the time left.

5. How you earn XP

• You earn XP by playing KhelMandala games, for example by clearing levels, earning stars, finishing games and winning online matches. How much XP each game gives is set by us and can change.
• Your contest total is all the XP you earned during that contest, in every game. If you join partway through a contest, all the XP you earned during it counts.
• XP comes only from playing. It cannot be bought, and it is never given for watching ads, for coins, or for achievements.
• Our server decides every XP award. What your phone shows is a copy of what the server recorded.

6. How the winner is picked

1. When a contest ends, the players who joined it are ranked by the XP they earned during it, highest first.
2. If two players have the same XP, the player who reached that total first ranks higher.
3. The highest-ranked eligible player (section 3) becomes the contest’s candidate. A player who isn’t eligible is skipped, however high they rank.
4. We review every candidate before a prize is given. We look at how and where their XP was earned, and we may pass over a candidate if we have reasonable grounds to believe they broke these rules (section 9). In that case the next eligible player becomes the candidate.
5. If no eligible player earned any XP during a contest, no prize is given for it.

There is one winner per contest. A player can win more than one contest. We may limit how often one player can win by telling players in the app before a contest starts.

7. The prize

• Each contest can have a different prize. The app shows the prize, its value and whether it is a digital or a physical item while the contest runs.
• The prize shown when the contest ends is the prize you receive.
• Prizes can’t be exchanged for cash. If an advertised prize becomes unavailable for reasons outside our control, we may replace it with a prize of equal or greater value.
• Coins, XP and other in-game items are never prizes. They have no cash value.

8. Claiming a prize

1. If you win, we send you a notification, and a prize code appears in the app under Profile → My prizes. The code is shown only to you.
2. To claim the prize, enter the code on our redemption site within 30 days. A code that isn’t used in time expires, and the prize isn’t given.
3. On the redemption site you confirm that you are 18 or older and give only the details we need to deliver the prize: for a digital prize, your name and an email address or phone number; for a physical prize, your name, phone number and delivery address. Physical prizes are delivered only to addresses in India.
4. Each code can be used once. Keep it private: anyone who has your code can claim the prize with it.

9. Fair play

We may disqualify a player, void their XP for a contest or take back a prize if we have reasonable grounds to believe they:

• used cheats, bots, scripts, modified apps, emulators set up to automate play, or bugs to earn XP;
• used more than one account, or shared an account, to improve their chances;
• worked with other players to arrange the results of online matches; or
• otherwise broke these rules or tried to interfere with the Contest.

We may also void a whole contest, so that no prize is given for it, if we find cheating or a technical fault that affected its results.

Our decision on the winner, after the review in section 6, is final. If you think we made a mistake, email us within 14 days of the end of the contest and we will reply.

10. Your information

Your display name, profile picture and contest XP can appear on the contest leaderboard and, if you win, in the list of past winners in the app. The details you give on the redemption site are used only to deliver your prize, and are deleted 30 days after delivery. Our Privacy Policy explains the rest of how we handle your information. Deleting your KhelMandala account also removes your Contest entry and any prize code you haven’t used.

11. Changes, cancellation and responsibility

• We may change these rules. Changes that affect how you can win apply from the next contest, and you’ll be asked to accept them in the app.
• We may cancel a contest, including one that has already started, at any time before it ends. A cancelled contest has no winner and no prize, and the app shows that it was cancelled. We may also stop running the Contest altogether.
• We aren’t responsible for XP that isn’t recorded because of network problems, your device, or our servers being unavailable.
• The Contest is void where the law doesn’t allow it.
• These rules are governed by the laws of India.
