Let’s dive into how to play PrizePicks Arena.

How to Play PrizePicks Pick ‘Em Arena
If you’ve played PrizePicks, the way you make player picks to win cash doesn’t change from the main Pick ‘Em game. The only difference? Arena gives you more ways to win when your picks are on point.

Here’s how it works once you’ve created your account and you’re ready to play.
- Choose Your Player Projections — Choose between 2 and 6 player projections from today’s board from any sport — from LeBron James points to Patrick Mahomes passing yards.
- Pick More or Less — Decide if each player will go More or Less on that stat projection.
- Pick Flex or Power Lineup — You can now choose between Flex or Power for any Lineup in Arena (except for 2-Picks). Power Play Lineups come with higher payouts, while Flex Lineups allow you to still get paid if you miss one or two picks.
- Submit Your Lineup — Check your entry fee, potential payouts, and hit submit to lock it in.
- Get Placed in a Group — Your Lineup is automatically placed into a group of other players with similar selections.
- Win More on PrizePicks Arena — More ways to win, more ways to cash in. Whether you’re going with Flex or Power Lineups, just finish at the top of your group or hit your picks to get paid.
How to Win on PrizePicks Pick ‘Em Arena
In PrizePicks Arena, every pick matters. Whether you’re shooting for the top of your group or locking in a winning Lineup, there are multiple ways to cash in with every Lineup.

1. Win Your Group
After you create your Lineup, you’ll be placed in a group of other players with similar skill and selections. The top score in your group wins the payout based on your Lineup size.
Your max payout for winning your group is based on your Lineup size and type — the more you pick, the more you stand to win. See more in the Payouts section below.
Note that payouts could be different than standard, usually when a Lineup contains players from the same team or game. Learn more about how Lineups are scored and how to win your group below.

2. Winning Lineup Payout
Your picks determine your Winning Lineup payout. In Arena, you get to decide how you win — choose Flex Play for an easier win even if you miss picks, or Power Play for bigger payouts.
If your picks hit, you’ll get paid based on your selected payout structure. No splitting the payout with other winners, just straight cash.
Payouts on PrizePicks Arena
The bag just got bigger. Now on PrizePicks Arena, you can get rewarded for every pick you make.

How to Win Your Group in PrizePicks Arena
Once you submit your Lineup, you’ll be placed into a group with other members based on:
- The number of picks in your Lineup
- The time of submission
- Your skill level
Groups are created on a first-come, first-served basis, so the sooner you submit your Lineup, the faster you’ll be in the action!
Here is how scoring works:
- Demon Projection Win → 1.05
- Standard Projection Win → 1
- Goblin Projection Win → 0.95
- Discounted Projection Win (i.e. Taco Tuesday) → 0.95
- DNP → 0.5
- Push (Tied Projection) → 0.5
- Reboot → 0

If multiple players tie for first place, the prize is split — unless there’s a winning Flex Lineup in the group.
