Question 1

How does voting work?

Accepted Answer

Each open battle has two sides. You cast one or more votes for whichever side you want to win. The side with the most votes when the cycle closes is the verdict.

Question 2

Why do I have to log in to vote?

Accepted Answer

Voting is tied to a verified account so results stay transparent: one person, one identity. Your country, age group and gender are collected once at onboarding so verdicts can be sliced by audience — we never sell your data.

Question 3

What are vote packs?

Accepted Answer

Every member gets 1 free vote per Sound Clash and Artist Tribunal battle. If you want more weight behind a side, you can buy vote packs from the Wallet page.

Question 4

Do subscribers get extra votes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Active members receive a daily bonus of free votes and a multiplier on purchased vote packs. Membership also unlocks sponsorship bidding.

Question 5

What is a Sound Clash?

Accepted Answer

Two songs from the same genre face off in a head-to-head battle. Members cast verdicts and the side with the most votes wins the cycle.

Question 6

Which genres are represented?

Accepted Answer

All 22: Pop, Hip Hop, R&B, Rock, Country, EDM, House, Disco, Techno, Amapiano, Afrobeat, Reggae, Reggaeton, Latin, Indian, Jazz, Blues, Classical, Gospel, Indie / Alternative, Christian Contemporary, and Heavy Metal.

Question 7

How long is a cycle?

Accepted Answer

Each genre runs one battle at a time on a fixed cycle. When the timer hits zero the battle closes, a verdict is recorded, and the next pairing opens.

Question 8

How are winners decided?

Accepted Answer

Whichever song has more weighted votes at close wins. Ties are extremely rare — there are no draws, the bid timestamps break them.

Question 9

What is an Artist Tribunal?

Accepted Answer

Two artists are put on trial together. Each is represented by their top 3 songs. Members vote for the artist whose catalog they think wins the matchup.

Question 10

How long is a cycle?

Accepted Answer

Artist Tribunals run on the same fixed-cycle structure as Sound Clashes.

Question 11

How is a winning artist decided?

Accepted Answer

Total weighted votes across the matchup at close. The artist with more votes wins that cycle.

Question 12

Who can sponsor a battle or category?

Accepted Answer

Sponsorship bidding is open to active members only. You bid under your username and the highest bid at the close window wins the slot.

Question 13

How does bidding work?

Accepted Answer

Each slot has a floor price and a closing window. You can place bids at or above the minimum next bid. The exact close time inside the window is hidden so the auction can't be sniped.

Question 14

When am I charged?

Accepted Answer

You are only charged if you win. Stripe sends a checkout link to the winning bidder once the slot locks. No refunds, no ties.

Question 15

Is my username public?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The current highest bid and the bidder's username are visible during the auction to keep the process transparent.

Question 16

What sponsors appear when nobody has won a slot?

Accepted Answer

Default platform partners — Lumia, Lignum Botanica, and Pro-File Consulting — rotate through unsold slots.

Question 17

What does onboarding ask for?

Accepted Answer

Country, age group, gender, and a unique username. That's it. Required so verdicts can be sliced by audience — we never sell your data.

Question 18

Can I change my username?

Accepted Answer

Yes — once every 7 days. Offensive usernames are blocked at signup and can be cleared by moderation.

Question 19

How do I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

Contact support via the gold button at the bottom right of any page. We will permanently remove your account and personal data.
