Clear answers on predictions, Zaurum, settlement, and trust.
Short questions, careful answers. For longer walkthroughs, visit the Help Center or Learn.
What is Fan Club Z?
Fan Club Z is a social participation platform where you discover, create, and take positions on predictions — short, clear questions about future outcomes. Over time your predictions build a visible track record, so participation quality becomes a form of social identity rather than isolated one-off activity. Read About and How it works for the full picture.
How do predictions work?
A prediction is a question that can be verified from a reliable public source after it closes — for example, a match result, a market close, or an official announcement. You take a position by staking Zaurum, the prediction closes before the outcome is known, and it is then settled strictly against its written wording and the source it named. Popularity in the pool never overrides the written question.
What is Zaurum, and does it have real cash value?
Zaurum is the in-app participation currency used for balances, staking, rewards, and creator-earnings displays. In the standard app experience — including the App Store and Google Play apps — Zaurum is for entertainment and social participation, has no cash value, and is not redeemable for money. Fan Club Z predictions are social participation and entertainment, not real-money gambling or a financial product. See Understanding Zaurum.
Is Fan Club Z gambling?
No. Predictions are a social, entertainment-first activity built around building a track record and community trust. Zaurum has no cash value in the standard app experience, and nothing on Fan Club Z should be treated as financial, legal, or investment advice. For a careful comparison of categories, read Prediction vs. gambling.
How is a prediction settled?
After it closes, a prediction is settled against its exact wording using the reliable public source it named — never on personal preference or the majority staking direction. Winning positions are paid from the losing side of the pool, and winners are never taxed on their own stake. Read the Prediction Standards and our essay on how settlement builds trust.
What happens if a prediction is unclear or unfair?
It can be voided and stakes refunded. A prediction may be voided if it is too vague, cannot be verified, was already known before it was created, or if the event was cancelled. This protects participants from ambiguous or manipulated markets — staking on a prediction does not guarantee it will settle. Prefer voiding a contested call over forcing a disputed outcome.
How do I create a good prediction?
Include the subject, the measurable event, the deadline, the verification source, and the timezone, and write it so a moderator could settle it using only your words. Avoid slang, vibes-based outcomes, and sources that are private or constantly shifting. Our guide to Creating Great Predictions walks through this with real before-and-after examples.
Can I report or block someone?
Yes. You can report content that is abusive, misleading, or unsafe, and you can block a user to immediately stop seeing their predictions and comments; blocks also notify our moderation team for review. See Responsible Participation and Trust & Safety.
How do creator earnings work?
Creators can earn from well-formed, fair markets. Earnings may be delayed, withheld, deducted, or reversed if a prediction is voided, wrongly settled, violates the standards, or shows signs of abuse. The goal is that creators earn from quality, not from ambiguity or fee-farming. Quality standards are in the Prediction Standards.
Is the app live, and where do I get it?
Yes. The main app is available at app.fanclubz.app, with roadmap layers shipping in sequence. See the Roadmap for what is next and the Whitepaper for product direction.
Do you have ads, and how is my data used?
Some surfaces may show first-party sponsored content or third-party ads (for example Google AdSense or AdMob) depending on the platform, build, and consent state. Advertising never decides settlement. Our Privacy Policy explains what is collected and how, including advertising identifiers and consent controls; Advertising explains the commercial model in plain language.
What is a performance identity?
Your performance identity is the legible history of how accurate and consistent you have been across settled predictions. It is not a single lucky call and not a vanity metric based on spend. Over time it becomes how other participants evaluate your judgment. We explore the idea in Performance identity.
Does the majority decide who is right?
No. The participation pool shows how people have positioned themselves, which can be interesting as a social signal, but settlement follows the written question and the named public source. A lonely correct call still settles correctly; a popular incorrect call still loses.
What should I do if I disagree with a settlement?
Use in-app reporting where available, and contact support with the prediction link, exact wording, named source, and what the source showed at settlement time. We review disputes against the standards, not against who argues loudest. Start at Help or Contact. Prefer evidence over emotion — that is how fair review works.
Can I use multiple accounts?
No. Multiple accounts used to manufacture volume, evade blocks, manipulate pools, or farm creator incentives undermine trust and can lead to restrictions. Account integrity is part of Trust & Safety and Acceptable Use.
How do I keep participation healthy?
Take part for enjoyment and track-record quality, stake only on questions you understand, take breaks when it stops being fun, and never chase a result after a miss. Fan Club Z will never ask for your password or recovery codes. Full guidance is on Responsible Participation.
What ages or eligibility rules apply?
Fan Club Z is not intended for children under 13, and some features may require a higher age or additional eligibility depending on your jurisdiction and the app-store build. You are responsible for complying with the laws that apply to you. See the Terms for the contractual baseline.
Where can I learn the vocabulary (pool, void, settlement, etc.)?
The Glossary defines key terms in plain language. For deeper skill-building, use Probability & Odds and Improving Accuracy. The Learn hub lists every guide.
How does Fan Club Z make money without cash-value Zaurum?
The platform may use first-party sponsorships and, where enabled, third-party advertising, alongside other product surfaces described in the roadmap. Commercial placements are labeled and kept separate from settlement logic. Transparency details are on Advertising.
What is trust-sequenced execution?
It is our shorthand for shipping and operating features in an order that preserves trust: clear questions first, fair settlement next, identity and discovery on top of an honest record — not engagement tricks that would corrupt that record. The Whitepaper and Roadmap describe how sequencing shows up in product direction.
Where do I find help quickly?
Start at the Help Center for links to guides, trust pages, advertising transparency, FAQ, and contact. For account or abuse issues, email tech@fanclubz.app with enough detail to investigate — screenshots, links, and timestamps help.
Is editorial content on the marketing site the same as in-app rules?
Blog essays and learn guides explain ideas and habits; the binding rules for participation are the Terms, Acceptable Use, and Prediction Standards. When in doubt, follow the standards and policies. The Blog is for depth and clarity, not for rewriting the ruleset.
