Reboots
Protecting your picks from injuries
You have the perfect Lineup locked in. But then one of your players get hurts. Lineup over, right? Not so fast. If it’s an NFL, NBA, MLB, WNBA or college football player, the PrizePicks Reboots policy keeps your Lineup alive!
How it Works
PrizePicks Reboots — our injury policy — covers NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, and college football players. Generally, if a player gets injured in the first half and does not return, that player will be marked as a DNP. With a DNP, your Lineup can still cash, just at a lower payout.
The policy will activate if all of the following conditions occur at any time during an NBA game.
You pick more on any eligible player’s full-game projection
That player leaves the game in the 1st Half
That player does NOT return in the 2nd Half
All such picks will be considered a Reboot, which means your lineup reverts down the same way it would with a tie or DNP.
Select NBA stat types are NOT eligible to receive a Reboot, specifically those that measure [x] statistical achievements (e.g. rebounds, points, 3-PT made, etc.) in [x] number of attempts or partial-game periods of play (e.g. quarters or halves).
The policy will activate if all of the following conditions occur at any time during an NFL regular season or postseason game (not currently offered for preseason games).

Select NFL stat types are NOT eligible to receive a Reboot, specifically those that measure [x] statistical achievements (e.g. completions, rush yards, receptions of 10+ yards, etc.) in [x] number of attempts or partial-game periods of play (e.g. quarters or halves).
All such picks will be considered a Reboot, which means your lineup reverts down the same way it would with a DNP. See the in-app NFL Scoring Chart for more details.

What Happens Next?
If your Player Pick is covered by the Reboots policy, it will be marked as a DNP in your Lineup.
With a DNP, your Lineup gets dropped one tier, reducing your maximum payout. For example, 6-Pick Lineups become 5-Picks, a 5-Pick becomes a 4-Pick, and so on.
This applies to both Power and Flex Play Lineups. Find standard payout rates here.
