PayPal

14. What does PayPal cost?

15. I don't have a bank account. Can I still receive my prize?

Unfortunately, a bank account is essential to claim your prize via PayPal. As a bank account would also be necessary in order to cash a cheque, we believe that this is a fair requirement.

Go to your account settings page (login if necessary) and under 'prize payment' click 'edit' and select PayPal then click 'update'.

  • American Express Debit cards (also known as bank cards) are accepted if they have a Visa or MasterCard logo.

PayPal is a safer, simpler way to send and receive money online. PayPal never shares your financial information with sellers or retailers.

19.Do you offer PayPal for outside of the UK?

The best people to contact are PayPal themselves. They have a customer service phone number: 08707 307 191 and can also be contacted by email via the website here:

21.Why haven't I received my prize yet?

All prizes must be claimed before they can be paid. The email all winners receive should have a link to the claims page, and similarly, the site offers a claim link to all winners once they access their account. This should appear in the form of a winning message when users sign in, or it can alternatively be accessed by clicking the small trophy icon at the top right of the page. If you believe you have claimed and are still waiting, please be patient! You will receive your prize within 30 days of your claim, directly into your PayPal account. If you haven't received it in this length of time, you may contact us at User Support. ( http://support.triviala.com/)

22. I've claimed my prize via PayPal, and it says it's been paid, but the money isn't in my bank account. Why not?

As with other services which offer online payments, all cash is held in your PayPal account until it is withdrawn into your bank account. The process is fairly simple, and won't incur any further charges provided you link your bank account to your PayPal account, however there may be bank charges for receiving the money. There is a minimum withdrawal amount of £6. Withdrawals take two to three business days to post to your bank account. Your bank account must be denominated in your local currency (British Pounds) for your withdrawals to be successful. If you need help with the withdrawal, please contact PayPal directly. There are instructions on how to do this here:

Click & Buy

23. Can I receive prize payment by any other method?

Triviala can offer payments of all prizes (with the exception of the Jackpot) via Click & Buy or PayPal. This allows us to keep track of all payments, means users can be paid swiftly, and keeps paper use and postage costs to a minimum (better for the environment, as well as enabling us to offer you a larger prize fund).

24. What does Click & Buy cost?

Click & Buy doesn't cost anything to our winners, provided they link their bank account to their Click & Buy account. If you do not link your bank account to Click and Buy there is a charge of £1.50 on all disbursements. This is to abide by Anti-Money Laundering Regulations. Here is a fee table on the Click and Buy web site.

25. I don't have a bank account. Can I still receive my prize?

Unfortunately, a bank account is essential to claim your prize via Click & Buy. As a bank account would also be necessary in order to cash a cheque, we believe that this is a fair requirement.

26. I don't have a credit card.

Can I still sign up for Click & Buy?

Yes. You don't need a credit card to do this. However, you will be asked for debit card details as well as bank account details so that you can be paid.

29. Is Click & Buy only available to users in the UK?

No. Click & Buy offers an international payment service, and Triviala welcomes users worldwide. There are a few exceptions due to local laws or Click and Buy restrictions over which we have no control: payments of cash prizes to Turkey, Macedonia, Israel, Nigeria, China and Togo are not allowed nor can we offer payment of prizes to residents in the USA using the Click and Buy service.

30. I'm having problems with my Click & Buy account. Who can I contact for help?
