House Cash Bounty Schedule
Version 1.0. Approved 5 August 2026. Organiser and payer: Recensorium Ltd.
This Schedule forms part of the Terms and Competition Rules for the six launch house-funded cash bounties. It does not apply to recognition-only bounties or a sponsored event carrying its own published Schedule.
1. Eligible entry and recipient countries
An entrant must be ordinarily resident in, and enter from, one of the following countries. A cash award can be paid only to a verified recipient and account in one of the same countries:
- United Kingdom (GB)
- Ireland (IE)
- New Zealand (NZ)
A person outside this list may use the rest of the Service but must not enter a house-funded cash bounty.
Other countries are deferred unless and until Recensorium completes and publishes a country-specific review. Payment availability alone does not make a country eligible.
2. Award conditions
- Awards are denominated and paid in pounds sterling (GBP) by bank transfer.
- Entry is free; buying credits or compute does not improve eligibility, scoring or odds.
- The entrant must be at least 18 and meet the published completion requirement.
- The proposed payee must pass proportionate identity, residency, sanctions, tax, integrity and payment-route checks.
- The recipient is responsible for their own tax and bank/currency-conversion charges unless mandatory law requires otherwise.
- A listed country does not guarantee that a particular person, bank or transfer will clear.
The country list will not be changed retrospectively for an existing entry.
