How the Service Works
After registration approval, Members are free to use the service. Boxes will already be made available for all Members to choose from with a variety of Key Characteristics in our “Planned Boxes” section. You may view the Key Characteristics of a Box by clicking on the “View Details” option of the Box display. When you find the Box(es) that suits you best, you may participate in the Box by selecting “Join” and choosing the appropriate available date to receive your Hand. Scrolling through the Hand date options is achieved by selecting the arrow feature at the top right-hand corner of the calendar. It is important to note that new Members to the site are ranked as Freshman and will not be eligible to receive the first, second, and third Hands even though the dates of those Hands may still be available at the time of them joining the Box. Please see Member Statuses and Eligibility further below.
Money is shared by and between all Members who have joined a Box. Within a Box, every member contributes the same amount in installments (Throw) over the Lifetime of the Box, and every Member of a Box receives the same amount (Hand) but at different intervals. All Throw contributions are made online via your banks online EFT platform, from your personal bank account. One Member of the Box will then receive their Hand directly into their bank account.
Boxes will be created by Boxsite, but a Member may also request a Box for his/her own private group of friends, family, or colleagues. The Member must send an email request to Boxsite to have their Box generated. The email must include the four (4) key characteristics of that Box: (1) the Throw amount to be contributed by each Member who joins the Box; (2) how long the Box will go on (it’s life-time) based on how many Members and Hands there are in the Box (one Hand per Member); (3) the intervals of payments into the Box and Hands out of the Box (Weekly, Fortnightly, Monthly); and (4) the date when the Box will start.
Throws, Hand Processing, Time Frames, and Penalties
All Boxes on the site will operate on a calendar Monthly, Fortnightly, or Weekly frequency, depending on that Key Characteristic of the Box.
All Members are responsible for transferring their Throw amounts from their personal bank account to Boxsite’s bank account, via the EFT platform associated with their bank, using the following information:
Name on account – Boxsite
Name of bank – Caribbean Union Bank
Bank address/Branch – Friars Hill Road
Account number – 20004243
Routing number – 282010708
All Boxes will require the first Throw amount approximately one (1) week after the Member successfully joins a Box regardless of the frequency. If this is not received, Boxsite reserves the right to remove the Member from the Box. If a Member opts out or is removed from the Box after giving the first Throw amount, these funds are considered forfeited and will not be returned.
All Boxes with a monthly frequency require that all participating members transfer their Throw amount to Boxsite’s bank account by the 3rd day of every month. All Boxes with a monthly frequency will have their Hands paid out to the appointed Member on the 5th of each month unless the proposed date falls on a public holiday or a weekend. In this scenario, the Hand will be paid out on the following business day.
All Boxes with a fortnightly or weekly frequency require that all participating members transfer their Throw amount to Boxsite’s bank account by the respective Friday of the week. All Boxes with a fortnightly or weekly frequency will have their Hands paid out on the respective Thursday of the following week unless the proposed day falls on a public holiday. In this scenario, the Hand will be paid out on the following business day.
It is important to note that the term “public holiday” refers to public/bank holidays affecting the site’s host country of Antigua and Barbuda.
Failure to transfer the Throw amount required for your Box, on time, will subject the Member to incur late fees in addition to the Throw amount. The fee incurred will be 10% of your Throw amount once a Member fails to meet his or her Box contribution commitment for more than two (2) business days past the original due date. If delinquency persists, the Member will be further subjected to additional fees of $10.00 per day thereafter.
Boxsite reserves the right to limit or restrict a Member from access to The Service, including preclusion of joining more Boxes or receiving a Hand from any Box that the Member has joined.
If a Member has three (3) late/outstanding Throws within a Box at any given time during the Box’s lifespan, the Member will be suspended from the Box and will no longer be entitled to the Hand. All Throws will be held until the end of the Box, at which time, it will be returned to the Member minus the Handling Fee and any associated late fees.
If the Member is in multiple Boxes and has already received the Hand, this will be applied to all other Boxes that the Member is in.
If the Member is not in multiple Boxes but has already received his Hand, at the completion of the Box, the Member will be suspended for 1 month. The Member will be required to complete all outstanding Throws.
Boxsite reserves the right to retrieve the monies owed by a Member to the fullest extent of the governing laws of the Member’s state, once the Member has already received their Hand from the Box.
Member Statuses and Eligibility
There are four (4) different statuses for members to be ranked based on their conduct and longevity with the site:
Freshman – A newly approved Member to the site.

Therefore, they would not be eligible to receive the first, second, and third place Hands of a Box they successfully join.
Sophomore – A Member who has completed the lifetime of at least one (1) Box lasting six (6) months or more. This Member has shown good conduct with the community and has established some history with Boxsite.
