CardWiki Claim Terms
The First 250 · CardWiki Claim Rush promotion
Updated October 6, 2026 · What changed: the three core missions now read add a missing image, add or confirm card details, and confirm a match, where they used to name a first sale comp, and a sale comp you added before these Terms took effect still counts toward them. Sale comps no longer appear in the list of ways to earn Fame, and the Fair play section no longer says a sale comp can be approved automatically.
The program
The First 250 · CardWiki Claim Rush is a limited promotion: the first 250 members to complete the Claim Rush mission each receive a CardWiki Claim — a permanent, numbered place (CC#1–CC#250) in CardWiki history, with a one-of-a-kind gem. Only 250 Claims will ever be issued. The promotion runs until all 250 Claims are placed, or until CardWiki ends it earlier (see the promotional terms below).
How you earn a Claim
You qualify by completing all four requirements while the promotion is active:
- 1,000 Fame — earned through contributions: adding cards, images, card details, and completing daily actions.
- Contribute on 7 separate days: any 7 days on which you log a qualifying contribution, counted in US Pacific time. The days do not need to be consecutive, so a missed day never sets your progress back.
- All 3 core missions — add a missing image, add or confirm card details, and confirm a match. A single approved card submission can satisfy all three. A sale comp you added before these Terms took effect still counts toward the core missions.
- 3 approved polish tasks — contributions that pass review (approved cards and approved mining proofs count).
Your Claim number is assigned automatically the moment you qualify — always the lowest available number. You can qualify in as little as 7 days, depending on how much you contribute and how quickly your submissions are reviewed.
Contributing on consecutive days also earns one-time streak milestones (a 3-day and a 7-day milestone) that pay bonus Fame toward your standing. These milestones are optional and separate from the separate-days requirement above.
The gems
Gems are reserved by finish order:
- Blue Diamond (CC#1–25) — a 1.5× Fame multiplier once polished, plus 24 months of CardWiki Pro, reserved until CardWiki Pro launches.
- Jadeite (CC#26–100) — a 1.25× multiplier once polished, plus 12 months of Pro, reserved until CardWiki Pro launches.
- Ruby (CC#101–250) — a 1.1× multiplier once polished, plus 6 months of Pro, reserved until CardWiki Pro launches.
Your Claim number and raw gem are yours immediately and permanently when you qualify. The gem's Fame multiplier unlocks when you complete its polish requirement (Blue Diamond: 8 · Jadeite: 5 · Ruby: 3 approved polish tasks). The gem's Pro months are reserved and start when CardWiki Pro launches. The polished Claim gem is the only ongoing Fame multiplier in the CardWiki economy.
The Final Rush and rank badges
When CC#250 is placed, a 24-hour Final Rush begins. When it ends, standings freeze and rank badges are awarded to Claim holders by final Fame: Legend (Top 10, $100 account credit), Elite (ranks 11–25, $50), and Champion (ranks 26–50, $25).
- Account credit applies toward future CardWiki Pro or On-Demand services. It is not cash, is non-transferable, has no cash value, and becomes redeemable when billing features launch.
- Rank badges confer recognition and credit only — no Fame multiplier.
- Ties are broken in favor of the earlier Claim number.
- Contributions approved after the Final Rush deadline still earn Fame but do not change the final standings.
- Additional recognition — including the Hall of Fame and a numbered second gem for badge winners — will be unveiled as it becomes available.
Referrals
You earn Fame when someone you referred verifies their email address and makes their first qualifying contribution. Signing up alone does not earn a referral reward. Your first three qualifying referrals earn 200 Fame each, and every one after that earns 100 Fame. There is no limit on how many people you can refer. Your friend earns a 100 Fame welcome bonus the first time a card they submit is approved.
Referral rewards are discretionary and may be changed or withdrawn at any time. Referring yourself, or creating additional accounts to refer, is not permitted and forfeits the reward. See our Terms of Service for the full account rules.
Fair play
- Contribution quality is reviewed. Most submissions are checked by a moderator; a narrow set of low-risk updates (for example, filling a previously empty field) may be approved automatically.
- Daily caps apply to repeatable actions.
- CardWiki may withhold, revoke, or reassign a Claim, gem, badge, or credit in cases of fraud, abuse, gaming, or error. Every Claim assignment and correction is recorded in an audit log.
Privacy and attribution
Your public presence in the promotion is your username, profile image, and public badges — nothing else. You appear by your username on leaderboards and, when unveiled, the Hall of Fame. Contributions to the public catalog are permanent. Catalog pages credit them to your username only if you turn on public attribution in your privacy settings. If you delete your account, they stay in the public catalog, credited anonymously to “Community”. Card photos you add to the public catalog on or after September 28, 2026 can also appear in CardWiki's own promotion, as the next section describes. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Your card photos in CardWiki promotion
For card photos you submit for the public catalog on or after September 28, 2026 (US Pacific time) that are approved and published, you grant CardWiki a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, display, reproduce, and adapt those photos (for example, by cropping, resizing, or reformatting them) on CardWiki and in CardWiki's own promotion of CardWiki, including our website, social media, advertising, and press materials, and to let the platforms and publications that carry that promotion display those photos as part of it.
- You keep ownership of your photos. This license does not transfer ownership to CardWiki.
- It covers only photos submitted on or after September 28, 2026. Photos submitted before that date are not used in advertising or press.
- It covers only photos submitted for the public catalog. Photos you keep private to your collection are never used in promotion.
- CardWiki never sells your photos to third parties.
- Before CardWiki puts a photo of a graded card into an ad, a social media post or a press item, it masks the certification or serial number on the grading label.
- If CardWiki credits a photo, it credits your username only, never your real name or contact details.
- You can withdraw a photo from future promotional use at any time by emailing support@cardwiki.ai. CardWiki then stops using it in new promotional materials; materials already published or in circulation may stay as they are. Withdrawing a photo from promotion does not remove it from the public catalog, where published contributions are permanent.
This license works alongside the Privacy Policy, which still governs your personal data.
No equity, ownership, or financial interest
CardWiki Claims are promotional recognition items only. A CardWiki Claim, Claim number, CC#, tier badge, contributor status, reward label, or related designation does not represent equity, ownership, stock, membership interest, profit participation, revenue share, voting rights, governance rights, dividend rights, creditor rights, or any other financial interest in CardWiki.ai, CardWiki, its parent company, affiliates, assets, intellectual property, products, or future business activity.
Not a security or investment asset
CardWiki Claims are intended to recognize early participation and contribution within the CardWiki platform. They are not securities, investment contracts, financial instruments, tokens, cryptocurrency, or tradeable investment assets. CardWiki Claims should not be purchased, earned, claimed, held, transferred, or discussed with any expectation of profit, resale value, appreciation, liquidity, or future financial return.
Rewards may change at CardWiki's discretion
Any rewards, access, platform benefits, badges, credits, titles, recognition, or promotional perks associated with CardWiki Claims may be changed, limited, expanded, delayed, suspended, or discontinued by CardWiki at any time in its sole discretion, unless otherwise expressly stated in written terms approved by CardWiki.
