Since 1992 — 34 years of operations in 2026Karaoke event bonus: 10% to the winner + 10% to the accumulated pool
At each karaoke competition, 10% of the total verified voting value goes to the artist with the most votes, and 10% goes into the accumulated prize pool. This 20% allocation is separate from venue reconciliation and replaces the earlier karaoke winner-pool allocation.
One verified token vote represents CAD $0.50. Only tokens used to vote in that karaoke competition count; unused tokens, drinks, entrance fees, admission tickets, taxes and transaction charges are excluded. For CAD $1,000 in verified voting value, the top artist receives $100 and the accumulated pool receives $100.
A tied top result is held for resolution before an award is issued. Pool contributions are tracked separately from payouts.
