Lingmah — Competition Rules & Prizes

Last updated: 21 July 2026. Operated by the Lingmah team. Contact: support@lingmah.com. See also our Terms, Privacy Policy, and lingmah.com.

These rules govern skill-based educational competitions ("Seasons") run inside Lingmah. This document is provided for transparency and must be reviewed by a qualified lawyer, and adapted to local prize/tax/consumer law, before any prize competition is run. Governing law is intended to be Kazakhstan. No purchase is necessary to enter or win.

0. This is a skill competition, not a game of chance

Winners are determined entirely by skill and effort — never by luck, chance, or a random draw. Your rank is the sum of points you earn by learning the official daily words and answering correctly. There is no random element in scoring, no draw, no lottery, no wager, and no stake. Two participants who do the same learning to the same standard earn the same points.

No purchase is ever necessary to enter, to compete, or to win, and buying anything cannot improve your rank. A paid subscription unlocks extra learning tools; it does not raise your daily point ceiling, your rank, or your chance of winning. This is guaranteed in the software itself: the routine that assigns each day's words takes no account of subscription status.

Lingmah does not offer gambling, betting, wagering, lotteries, or games of chance, and no payment is ever accepted in exchange for a chance to win.

Competitions are void where prohibited or restricted by law. Participants are responsible for ensuring that entering is lawful where they live; we may exclude regions where skill competitions or prize promotions are restricted.

1. What a Season is

A Season is a fixed 40-day educational competition. Each day, 10 official words are assigned to every participant, forming a 400-word course over the Season. Participants earn Season points by learning those words. Season points determine your rank. The rank ladder decides who reaches the Finals.

2. Eligibility

• Open worldwide to registered Lingmah users, except where prize competitions or skill contests are prohibited or restricted by local law, and except any region we exclude for legal or sanctions reasons. The excluded regions for a given Season are shown with that Season in the app.
• Registration is free. You may sign in with a phone number or an email address; both have identical standing in a competition.
• Minors: participants under 18 (or the local age of majority) may enter only with the consent of a parent, guardian, or school, who must accept any prize on the minor's behalf.
• Employees of Lingmah and their immediate families are not eligible for prizes.
• One person, one account. You must enter under your own identity.

3. How Season points are earned (fair by design)

Season points come only from the official daily learning, and are capped at 100 per day:

• Lesson — up to 30/day for studying the day's 10 words.
• Practice — up to 50/day, from your first-try accuracy across the skills.
• Daily game — up to 20/day, from your first attempt at the daily recall game.

4. Prohibited conduct — grounds for disqualification

• Creating or using more than one account ("multi-accounting").
• Automation, bots, scripts, emulators, or any tool that plays on your behalf.
• Sharing an account, or having another person play for you.
• Exploiting bugs, manipulating device time/location, or falsifying activity.
• Any attempt to obtain Season points other than by genuinely completing the official daily learning yourself.

Suspected violations are reviewed by the Lingmah team. We may withhold points, remove a participant from the ranking, disqualify, or ban an account. Finalists are audited before any prize is awarded.

5. Finals & winner verification

• The top-ranked participants at the end of the qualification period reach the Finals, which test the same 400 Season words.
• Final standings are determined by Season performance with a fixed, published tie-break.
• Before prizes are delivered, each winning participant's learning history is audited and identity confirmed. Winners are announced with verification details after the Finals.

6. Prizes

• Prizes for the current Season are shown in the app. Prizes are awarded to the top finishers as displayed.
• Prizes are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash unless stated. Any taxes or import duties are the winner's responsibility unless local law provides otherwise.
• To receive a physical prize, a winner must verify identity and provide valid delivery details within the stated window; unclaimed prizes may be forfeited or re-awarded.
• Lingmah may substitute a prize of equal or greater value if the advertised item becomes unavailable.

7. Changes, suspension & disputes

• Scoring rules are fixed for the duration of a running Season and are not changed mid-Season.
• Lingmah may pause, modify, or cancel a Season for technical, legal, or integrity reasons; where a Season is cancelled, we will act in good faith toward affected participants.
• Lingmah's decisions on scoring, eligibility, disqualification, and prizes are final. Disputes are governed by the law of Kazakhstan.

8. Promoter, sponsors, and app stores

• The promoter of every Season is the Lingmah team, who is solely responsible for running the competition, judging it, and delivering prizes.
• A Season may be sponsored by a third party (for example a university or company), whose name and logo appear on that Season. A sponsor may fund or supply the prize; sponsors do not score, judge, or select winners, and taking part does not create any relationship between you and the sponsor.
• Apple is not a sponsor of, and is not involved in, any Lingmah competition in any way. The same applies to Google. Any questions, complaints, or claims about a competition must be directed to Lingmah at support@lingmah.com, not to Apple or Google.
• Personal data you provide to enter is provided to Lingmah, not to Apple or Google, and is handled under our Privacy Policy.
