An unopposed challenge considered "winning?"

By rockstarms, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

Hello!

In the GOT card game, there are abilities that are triggered when you "win a challenge". If no other character opposes you, is that even considered a challenge? If a challenge is unopposed then, is that considered "winning?"

For example, a "response" might be something such as "collect a gold coin when you when a challenge." This character has knelt and challenged, but the other player decides not to use any characters to defend. Does the player who initiated the challenge still get a gold coin (i.e. trigger the response)?

Thanks!

yes it is considered a win.

Thank you!
