[ESPAÑOL]
1. ¿Qué es The Map Challenge? Es un mapa global interactivo donde puedes patrocinar una web a través de un marcador de país. Haz clic en un país, realiza un pago de patrocinio y, si quieres, añade el enlace de tu web. Cuando se confirme, el país gana puntos y tu enlace válido se publica en ese marcador.
2. ¿Cómo funcionan los puntos y el ranking? Cada pago confirmado añade puntos al país seleccionado. Una aportación mayor añade más puntos. Los países se clasifican por el total de sus puntos.
3. ¿Es una organización benéfica o una plataforma de donaciones? No. The Map Challenge es un proyecto online independiente, no una organización benéfica. Los pagos permiten participar en el reto del mapa y ayudan a financiar el funcionamiento y desarrollo del proyecto.
4. ¿A dónde va el dinero? Los pagos ayudan a cubrir el procesamiento de pagos, la infraestructura, el mantenimiento, nuevas funciones y el trabajo necesario para gestionar y mejorar The Map Challenge. El proyecto puede generar ingresos para la persona o el equipo que lo gestiona.
5. ¿Cómo puedo patrocinar mi web? 1. Haz clic en un país del mapa. 2. Elige la cantidad de patrocinio. 3. Añade el enlace de tu web si quieres. 4. Completa el pago. 5. Cuando se confirme, el país recibe puntos y tu enlace válido se publica en ese marcador.
6. ¿Cómo puedo ser Capitán? Cada país tiene un Capitán. El usuario con el pago individual confirmado más alto para ese país se convierte en su Capitán. Puedes usar un nombre visible o permanecer como Anonymous.
7. ¿Cómo funcionan los pagos con criptomonedas? Las transferencias crypto manuales requieren verificación después de enviar el identificador de la transacción. Crypto Checkout se procesa automáticamente mediante NOWPayments y añade puntos solo después de la confirmación del pago.
8. ¿Qué pasa con mi nombre, correo electrónico y enlace? Tu nombre puede mostrarse públicamente como Capitán si cumple las condiciones. El correo electrónico es opcional y nunca se muestra públicamente. Tu enlace patrocinado opcional se publica en el marcador seleccionado y se abre en una pestaña nueva. Es una ubicación de visibilidad en el mapa, no un servicio SEO: no se garantizan clics, tráfico, ventas ni posicionamiento en buscadores.
Reglas claras, un ranking en directo y un mapa construido país a país.
ABOUT & TRANSPARENCY
What you are supporting
The Map Challenge is an independent worldwide online map game where you can sponsor a website through a country marker. Click a country, choose an amount, and optionally submit your website link. After confirmation, the country gains points and your qualifying link is published on that selected marker.
Not a charity
This is not a charity or a fundraising campaign for a third party. Sponsorship payments support participation in the game, optional link placement, and payment processing, infrastructure, maintenance, development, and ongoing operation. The project may generate income for its operator.
Captain status
Points have no cash value and are not transferable. The Captain of a country is the user with its highest confirmed single payment. Captain status may change when a higher confirmed payment is made. There are currently no active prizes, lotteries, raffles, or guaranteed rewards.
Sponsored links
After confirmation, a website link that follows the Terms is published on the selected marker as a Sponsored link. It is a visibility placement on the map, not an SEO service or a sale of search authority, and it opens in a new tab. Links are not an endorsement and no clicks, traffic, sales, search ranking, or other commercial result is guaranteed. Unsafe, unlawful, misleading, or abusive links can be removed.
Payments and data
Card payments are processed by Stripe. Manual crypto transfers require verification; Crypto Checkout payments are processed automatically by NOWPayments after payment confirmation. Names, emails, and sponsored links are optional. Emails are never displayed publicly. The selected point on the map may be displayed publicly as a marker, including its optional sponsored link, but payment amounts, emails, transaction references, and approximate origin country are not public.
Refunds and questions
Payments are not automatically refundable. For a duplicate, unauthorised, or technically incorrect payment, contact us so the case can be reviewed individually. Crypto transactions cannot normally be reversed once sent.
