HQ Trivia on Friday announced that it has dropped its $20 minimum balance requirement for players to cash out their winnings via PayPal.

The change is welcomed since HQ's standard prize amount, now up to $2,500, is often split by tens if not hundreds of players, in which cases each winner ends up with a small prize like $10 or $12 that was previously not cashable. Now, anyone can cash out a prize, even if only enough to buy a coffee or two.
💰 It's payday, baby! We've removed the minimum balance required to cash out your HQ winnings. Put that money in the bank today! — HQ Trivia (@hqtrivia) January 26, 2018
For those unaware, HQ is a live trivia show that launched on iPhone in September, and on Android around New Year's Day. During the show, players attempt to answer a series of 12 questions correctly to win a cash prize. To reduce cheating, players have less than 10 seconds to choose one of three answers.
The show is hosted every day at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and at 3:00 p.m. every weekday, most often by comedian Scott Rogowsky. Pro tip: you can swipe right on the chat to hide the obnoxious flow of comments.
HQ Trivia continues to surge in popularity, with many games now attracting more than one million players, compared to just hundreds back in September. Over 1.6 million players competed for a special $15,000 prize last Sunday, and some 15 minutes later, seven winners walked away with over $2,000 apiece.
If you haven't played HQ yet, you can download the game from the App Store and sign up for free. For each new player that you refer to the game, you can receive an extra life, which lets you skip one question if you answer it incorrectly.

The game is entirely free to play. There is no way to spend money.Surprised Apple allowes gambling at the store
Where is there gambling? HQ in no conceivable way is gambling...Still, it is laggy AF which is obviously why i’ve never won.
This is a non-issue. They don't owe you anything.
It’s alsp done to give enough time for everyone to make it to the game. The notification prompts you at 4-5 mins before the official start time, and then you still have another 3 minutes after that. So whenever I receive my reminder notification, it’s really telling you that you’ve got about 6-8 minutes to prepare for the game. I actually like that...I just got a $5.88 payment from them on paypal, so I can confirm this works.
I'm impressed you won!
