FAQ

Yes. Your Commitment Deposit is refunded in full to your Spartan Wallet the moment you complete your monthly challenge — and it's refunded the same way if a Spartan Shield protects a month you couldn't complete. It's only forfeited if you fail a month without an available Shield.

Thirty percent of Spartan's monthly profit — built from Platform Fees and forfeited deposits — is allocated directly to the Silver, Gold and Elite Prize Pools. Each pool is then split among eligible users by their Challenge Level's Contribution Weight, not equally. Nothing is funded by outside investment.

Yes, every month. Challenge Level and streak are completely independent — switching levels never resets your progress.

Yes. Walking and running count equally toward every session. Spartan rewards consistency, not athletic performance.

Yes. You can start your monthly challenge at any point during the month — you just need to complete every required session before the month ends.

Without an available Shield, your streak resets to zero, your Commitment Deposit is forfeited, and your Badge drops one level. Your historical achievements stay on your profile regardless.

That's exactly what Spartan Shields are for. If you have one available, a month you can't complete is automatically protected — your streak, Badge and Challenge Level stay intact, no explanation needed. You won't receive a Prize Pool reward for that specific month, since the commitment wasn't completed, but nothing else is lost.

A Shield is consumed automatically when a month would otherwise fail — no activation needed. It preserves your streak, Badge and Challenge Level, but you won't receive that month's Prize Pool reward: a Shield protects your progress, it doesn't replace a completed commitment. You earn one at Silver and Elite Badge, and can hold a maximum of two at a time.

Yes. If you fail a month without an available Shield, your Badge drops one level. Your highest Badge ever achieved always stays visible on your profile.

Cancelling stops your subscription from renewing into a future month, but it doesn't cancel your current monthly commitment. Your Platform Fee stays non-refundable, and your Commitment Deposit is still governed by that month's outcome under the normal rules. Your historical statistics remain permanently recorded — nothing is erased.
