10. Charadio on Beat Drive.

Terms & Conditions

10.1 Please read the following information in conjunction with the above general competition terms and conditions.
10.2 Charadio is based on the concept “Charades on the Radio”. On day one of the competition, the presenter reveals one clue about something or someone. This could be a person, a TV show, a film etc. The list is exhaustive. To minimize any chance of external leaks, the only person who knows the correct answer is the presenter. The presenter has sole responsibility for devising the answer and this confidential information is not shared with anyone else until the right answer is revealed on air.
10.3 The cash builder contest is played daily during Beat Drive which is broadcast between 3pm and 6pm Monday to Friday. The times the contest takes place during Beat Drive may vary depending on Beat 102-103’s programming commitments on any given day. Seasonality also impacts. The starting amount on day one of the competition is €150 and then the cash prize builds by €20 each day until won then the process starts all over again.
10.4 Each day, the presenter announces lines are open and invites audience members to register their interest to participate. Participation means texting or whatsapping the listener’s name to 085-1029103. (Please note there is no charge for whatsapp messages. Texts may or may not be free. It depends on the specific network package of each listener. Beat 102-103 has no control over the charge, if any, of network texts.) The only requirement to enter is to text or whatsapp during the contesting period. “Contesting period” means the length of time from when the presenter announces lines are open to when the presenter brings a caller on air. Times may vary but generally the window is about 15 minutes.
10.5 Texter 102 is selected at random by a member of Beat’s Solutions team. Only one caller a day is brought on air to speak with the presenter. During the call, the listener has a choice to either (i)ask one question and then make a guess or (ii) go straight to the guess.
10.6 If the listener gets it right, they win the cash prize of the day. If the listener gets it wrong, the cash prize rolls over and is increased by €20 each day.
10.7 For each play of Charadio, all guesses to date are publicly shared under “win” section of the website at www.beat102103.com
10.8 Any prize is issued by the solutions team to the prize winner, in line with Beat’s standard competition terms and conditions.
