Only lineups that are submitted in accordance with the procedure set forth on the PrizePicks platform for entry into the Contest will be eligible for the Contest.

3. Gameplay
Each day during the Contest, participants will receive one thousand credits at 6:00 am ET. Those credits can used to place lineups for that day (minimum entry fee is 100 credits). The contest will run as a series of 7 separate daily competitions starting at 6:00 am ET and finishing at 5:59 am, ET. Each participant's daily point total will be compiled over the course of the week, with the highest scoring participant winning the top prize.
Credits cannot be purchased, do not roll over from week to week, and have no cash value.
Participants can enter the Contest if they are registered and verified PrizePicks Members. One becomes a member by visiting the PrizePicks platform (website or app), registering an account, and having one’s identity verified by PrizePicks.
The procedure for playing the Contest, as made available on the PrizePicks platform (website or app), is as follows:
- Entrant signs into a registered account (or creates one if the Entrant is not a PrizePicks Member);
- Entrant chooses from two (2) to six (6) player statistics from the available player squares;
- Entrant picks whether the selected players will get more or less of a particular statistic than what was set by PrizePicks;
- Entrant picks Flex or Power Play;
- Entrant chooses the amount of credits to use as the entry fee; and
- Entrant submits the lineup
4. Weekly Contest
Each weekly Contest will start on Monday at 6:00 am and finish on Sunday at 5:59 am (Eastern time) comprising 7 separate 24-hour periods.
This has several effects:
- Lineups must only include games that finish by 5:59 am ET during the same 24-hour period they were placed. Any projection that starts before that time and finishes after will be automatically DNPd.
- PrizePicks will only offer markets, statistic types, and player squares that are projected to be compatible with this 24-hour period. The Contest will not include season-long or multi-day markets, for example.
- Player squares for a certain sport (e.g., NFL) will only be available for selection on game days.
5. Scoring and Payouts
The top 500 scoring participants who finish each week’s contests with at least 1001 credits will receive cash prizes as shown in the below payout table. If fewer than 500 participants finish a day with at least 1001 credits, only those participants that finished with at least 1001 credits will receive cash prizes.
If there is a tie, the tied participants will share equally the total value of the prizes for the tied places in the below payout table. If the tie would result in more than 500 winning lineups, ties will be broken based on the earliest lineup times for the tied participants until there are 500 winning lineups.
Prizes won, if any, will be deposited into the winning Entrant’s PrizePicks account.
6. Effective Date and Amendments
These Contest Rules shall be effective as of the Effective Date specified above.
PrizePicks may amend the Contest Rules at any time, at its sole discretion. Amended Contest Rules will be labeled as such, will include links to previous versions, and will contain an Effective Date.
