What is Qureka

Qureka is a free trivia app built around live quiz shows, hourly quizzes and themed quiz contests, including categories such as cricket and exam preparation.

It is run by Qureka Global Pvt Ltd, named as owner and operator in the app's Privacy Policy and Terms. On Google Play, the developer account is listed as Qureka Global, with Coolboots Media Private Limited shown as the developer entity.

The same developer account also publishes other apps, including Qureka Skool and TimesJobs, and the Qureka website promotes a separate product called Qureka Lite aimed at other apps and websites.

How people earn on Qureka

Everything won on Qureka is paid in Qureka Coins, not cash. There are several ways to earn coins inside the app.

• Live quiz shows, where the coin prize pool is split equally among players who answer every question correctly.
• Hourly quizzes and themed quiz contests, such as general knowledge, sports, cricket and exam-prep categories, where rank decides the coins won.
• Mini quizzes, which pay a fixed number of coins for each correct answer.
• Watching videos inside the app for extra coins.
• Referring friends through the app's Refer & Earn section, which the rules describe in terms of extra Lives rather than coins.

Some special quizzes need coins to enter, and coins also give elimination protection: a set number of coins is applied automatically the first time a player answers incorrectly in a live quiz, rather than on the last question.

Payout and who can join

According to Qureka's Terms, no quiz contest on the app has prize money as a reward. Every contest pays only in Coins, the Terms state that Coins are not money and cannot be converted into money at any point, and Coins are described as usable only to take part in coin-based contests.

The Terms also say that no contest requires a deposit, that participation is free, and that there are no in-app purchases. Those Terms were last modified in October 2020, and no newer statement updating this was found.

Qureka can be played as a guest, but logging in is needed to appear on the leaderboard and to win coins. Registration asks for a name, a mobile number verified by SMS, and an email address, and an Indian mobile number is required. The Privacy Policy states that the app is limited to use within India and must not be accessed from outside India or through a VPN. No minimum age is stated in the Terms or Privacy Policy, though the Google Play age rating in India is set for ages 3 and up. The app is available on Android only, according to Qureka's own pages, with live quizzes offered in English and Hindi.

Qureka compared with PocketsFull

A side-by-side look at what each site offers, based on Qureka's own published facts and PocketsFull's facts.

How PocketsFull is different

PocketsFull is a rewards site where members take paid surveys and complete offers, including game and app offers, and build up a balance that can be redeemed for gift cards.

Where Qureka pays only in coins that its Terms say cannot be converted into money, PocketsFull rewards are redeemed for gift cards, and options such as PayPal and Litecoin are also listed on the redeem screen, depending on the member's country.

Joining PocketsFull is free, there is no deposit involved, and PocketsFull has an Android app as well as a website that works in a phone browser.

How PocketsFull pays

This section leads into PocketsFull's own payout box, which lists the gift card brands, PayPal and Litecoin available in the reader's country.

The options shown depend on where the member lives, so the gift card brands on screen differ from one country to another.

This is different from Qureka, which according to its Terms pays only in Coins that cannot be turned into money, so there is no cash or gift card payout to compare on that app.
