Why is brainTivity free?

brainTivity – Why is it free?

We wanted to provide an alternative to all the spam sites and companies that were simply interested in collecting your information and selling it to the highest bidder.  We wanted to provide a way for people to interact and challenge each other, all the while stimulating their minds and leading a healthier lifestyle.

Plus, who doesn't like something for free!!!  With life's daily ups and downs, we all need a change from our routine.  brainTivity allows you to challenge yourself, challenge your friends, and win great prizes.

We would like to thank our sponsors and hope you join us in supporting their great causes.

Why do I have to provide my date of birth?

Why is date of birth required when I register?

Since the challenges are open to the public, we need to ensure the peple who reigster are at least eighteen years of age.  It really  comes down to a legal issue, and by requesting the date of birth we can cover ourselves against issues with minors using our service.

If you want to read more, please check out our Official Rules.

Why am I not able to compete in the challenges?

Local Contest Rules – Why am I not able to compete in the challenges?

Contests are oddly tightly controlled by some local governments.  Given the anonymity available through the Internet, we are unable to stop people from entering our competitions that may not be eligible.  However if your local government prohibits its citizens from entering contests, we will be unable to ship the prize to you even if you win.  The prize would then default to the next ranking placeholder in the competition.

Please see the Official Rules for further details.
