Welcome to the CurseForge Author Rewards Program, operated by Overwolf.

The terms and conditions contained in this Rewards Program Terms of Service (the "Rewards Program TOS") apply to each Sites account holder that elects to participate in the Rewards Program (referred herein as “Participant”, “user,” “you,” or “your”).

Cash redemptions are only available for 100 Points or more.
