Claims & Blocks

  • What is a block?

    A block is one cell on the 160×100 board (16,000 in total). Each block is a small piece of internet territory you own as long as your monthly subscription is active — your image, your color, your title, your link.
  • How do I claim a block?

    Open the board, click an available cell (or shift-drag to select multiple), and follow the checkout flow. The block becomes yours immediately on payment.
  • What if I want to claim multiple blocks together?

    Shift-click and drag on the board to select a rectangle, then click CLAIM. All selected blocks are checked out in one Stripe session and become a single subscription.
  • Can I customize my block?

    Yes. Click any block you own on the board to open the inline editor in the right panel — upload an image, set a display color, add a title, and link out anywhere.

Sweepstakes

  • How do I get entries into the sweepstakes?

    Each $1 paid (excluding tax) on a subscription = 1 entry for the active sweepstakes period. There are also free entry methods available. See the Official Rules for the full free-entry instructions.
  • When does a sweepstakes end?

    A sweepstakes ends at its published deadline — the countdown on the Prizes page is the single end condition. There is no early close.
  • How often do new sweepstakes run?

    Weekly. Pixul runs one sweepstakes per week — the moment one closes, the next is already open. The active sweepstakes' timer is always pinned to the Prizes page so you can see exactly when it ends.
  • Where do I see my entry count?

    Your current-period entries show on the dashboard sweepstakes ribbon at the top, and your lifetime total is in the Your Stats card.

Communities & Creators

  • What is a community?

    A community is a creator + everyone who claimed through their referral link. Member blocks count toward the creator's territory in the Teams Lens overlay.
  • How do I become a creator?

    Apply via the Creator Program. Approval is manual; once approved, your account flips the creator badge and you get a referral link to share.
  • Can creators enter the sweepstakes?

    No. Creator accounts are not eligible for sweepstakes entries. Creators build territory instead — their community's blocks are their visible footprint on the board.

Payments & Billing

  • Where do I manage my subscription?

    Open Billing & Subs from the dashboard’s Settings tab. You can update your card, view invoices, and cancel renewals via Stripe’s secure portal.
  • What happens if I cancel?

    Your block stays active through the end of the current paid period. After that, it returns to the available pool. Your sweepstakes entries from paid periods still count.

Badges

  • What do the badges mean?

    There are three badges on Pixul: Creator (verified streamer / community-builder, granted by application), Founder (early supporter from the launch period), and Winner (took home a sweepstakes prize in a past period).
  • How do I earn a Creator badge?

    Apply via the Creator Program. We’ll review your platform, audience size, and links and get back to you. Once approved, the badge appears automatically across the site.

Account

  • How do I change my email or password?

    Open Account · Edit Info (also reachable from the dashboard Settings tab). Both fields update through Supabase and take effect immediately.
  • How do I edit my profile?

    Visit your public profile at /u/your-handle and use the gear icon next to your name to edit your bio, tagline, and other profile fields directly on the page.
  • How do I delete my account?

    Email founder@pixul.live with your account email. We'll process the deletion within a few business days.
