How Points Work
Points are awarded when you submit a public, approved review. The base amount depends on how new the cheese is — to you, or to the platform.New Country Bonus
Review a cheese from a country you’ve never reviewed before and earn an extra +1,000 pts. Your home country doesn’t count toward this bonus.Milestone Bonuses
Hit a review count milestone and earn a badge plus a bonus points drop — whether you got there on a public or private review.Milestone badges are awarded on total reviews including private ones. But the bonus points only land when the review crossing the milestone is public.
Private Reviews
Private reviews count toward your passport levels and milestone badges — they’re part of your personal cheese journey. They don’t earn points or show up on the leaderboard.Passport Levels
Your stamp for each country levels up as you review more cheeses from there. Levels are based on your total approved reviews from that country, including private ones.The Leaderboard
