  • Would my points be only for a single episode?

    Well, that’s where we are different. Your points are accumulated throughout the season. You can keep playing with all the contestants during this season of Bigg Boss.
  • My points are not getting updated / there is an error in the points that I can see. How do I resolve this?

    Thank you for playing Jio Bigg Boss game. You earn points on the basis of the correct answers that you give for each question. After each correct answer, the points get added to your account and will be visible on the top right hand corner while playing the game. The points are mapped to your mobile number. In case you are playing with a different mobile number, the point accumulation will start afresh.
  • I am not a Jio Customer; will I get the same points as a Jio customer?

    Yes, you will get the same points.
LEADERBOARD
  • I have the same points as someone else, but my name is not on the Leaderboard. Does that have any implication?

    The Leaderboard only displays the top 50 names randomly, amongst all the players with the highest points. Please note that this does not affect the winner determination process.
GENERAL
