Official Rules
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE DOES NOT IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.
1. Who can play
Open to legal residents of the 50 United States and D.C. who are 18 or older (the site requires a date of birth showing 18+ before you can play). Employees of the operator, prize sponsors, and their immediate families and households, and professional athletes and game officials, are not eligible for prizes. Void where prohibited.
2. How to enter
Create a free account with Google or email and join any room. Every room is free. All players are treated exactly the same.
3. How rooms work
- Each room holds up to 10 players. Pick 5 real players from the games in that room's slate.
- Credits & your roster: every account gets a one-time starting grant of 100 credits in a credit wallet shared by both sports. You use credits to buy real players into your own roster (separate rosters for basketball and football); many players can own the same real player. Each player has a price (7–56 credits) based on recent fantasy points per game from our stats data, ranked against other players in the same sport: bench players about 7–13, role players about 13–19, starters about 19–37, stars about 37–48 and the very top superstars up to 56. Players without stats cost 7–8. You pay the current price when you buy; prices can change later. You need to own at least 5 players to enter a room. Entering a room is free and costs no credits: you pick 5 players from your roster who play in that room's slate, and owned players without a game that day simply sit. You may sell a player back for 75% of the price you paid (rounded down), except while that player is on one of your teams in a room that hasn't been scored yet.
- Earning credits: credits are earned only from the starting grant, from finishing rooms (when a room is scored: 1st +15, 2nd +10, 3rd +5, everyone else who finished +2), and, when offered, from optional rewarded ads (+5 credits to your wallet per completed ad, up to 3 per day, at least 3 minutes apart, 18+ with ad cookies accepted). Credits have no cash value, can't be bought with money, sold for money, transferred or exchanged, and can only be used to buy fantasy players. Skipping ads never lowers your chances. Only completed rewarded ads count; viewing or clicking other ads never earns anything. Credits are separate from leaderboard points. We may correct credits issued in error.
- Basketball: points ×1, rebounds ×1.2, assists ×1.5, steals ×3, blocks ×3, turnovers −1.
- Football (QB/RB/WR/TE only): passing yards ÷25, passing TD 4, interception −2, rushing/receiving yards ÷10, rushing/receiving TD 6, reception 1, fumble lost −2.
- A room locks when its first game starts. You may swap a player until that player's game starts.
- Stats come from our third-party stats data and are final when the room is scored. Ties are broken by who entered first.
4. Leaderboard points
Each entrant adds 4 points to the room's points pool (a full room of 10 = 40 points). The points pool is split by finishing place: in a full room 1st earns 15, 2nd 10, 3rd 5, 4th 3, 5th 2, and 6th–10th 1 each. In smaller rooms only the places that exist are paid, using the same shares scaled so the awards add up to the points pool (rounded to one decimal). Points add to an all-time total and to a weekly total (Monday 12:00 a.m. through Sunday 11:59 p.m. Pacific time). Leaderboards are shown globally, by state, and by city, based on the location you confirm.
5. Weekly prizes
The operator announces each week's prize(s) on the Leaderboard before or during that week. The player with the most weekly points on the global leaderboard wins the global weekly prize. Optional state or city prizes, if announced, go to the top weekly points earner in that area. Ties: the player who reached the tied total first wins. Approximate retail value (ARV): [FILL IN: Prize values (ARV)]. Points have no cash value and can't be bought, sold or exchanged. Winners are notified by email and must confirm eligibility, including age (ID check), before any prize is awarded; and must respond within 14 days or an alternate winner may be chosen. Winners are responsible for any taxes. Prizes are not transferable; the operator may substitute a prize of equal or greater value.
6. Fair play
One account per person. Using multiple accounts, bots or scripts, or tampering with the site, voids eligibility. The operator may correct errors and may cancel or modify a room or week if something outside its control affects the contest.
7. Sponsor
Sponsor: [FILL IN: Operator legal name], [FILL IN: Operator address]. Questions: [FILL IN: Contact email]. These rules are a draft and are not yet in effect for prize awards until reviewed by an attorney.
