The reward is released only if the channel reaches 100K subscribers and 10M views. It's a discretionary appreciation gift, not an entry-fee prize — and the creator may increase it at his discretion.

Any increase to the reward — including anything the creator chooses to add from the channel's YouTube ad revenue or views — is counted only up to 19 July 2026 (the World Cup final). After that date nothing further is added, the amount is final, and the competition ends.

I take no profit from this project through 19 July 2026. I'm not paying out the full YouTube revenue, though — the real costs of running this come out first: cloud hosting, servers, the football data APIs, payment/processing fees and taxes (TDS). Whatever's left goes to you, the top 100. All I'm asking for is your support, and I thank you heartily for it.

And if we hit our target but the channel isn't monetised (no ad revenue), I will still pay the ₹1,00,000 from my own pocket to the top 100 — as a thank-you for backing this early.

As the project grows I'll work with a lawyer to keep it fully legally safe, so that no supporter ever loses funds.
