Pool rules

Entries are paid from your sandbox wallet balance in demo credits. Once you submit picks for a game, that game's picks are locked at kickoff and cannot be changed. Unused entry fees for a pool you never submitted picks in may be refunded to your demo wallet at the pool creator's discretion.

Each game locks at its scheduled start time, or at the actual kickoff if the game starts early or is delayed. Picks submitted after lock are not counted.

Standard pools award one point per correct winner pick. Confidence and spread pool formats are labeled clearly on the pool page with their specific scoring rules before you join.

• Most correct picks in the pool's designated tie-break games, if configured.
• Closest combined-score guess on the pool's tie-break game, if configured.
• Earliest submission time for a completed, valid entry.
• If still tied, prize amounts for the tied places are split evenly in whole cents, with any leftover cent going to whoever submitted first.

See the full fee math walkthrough for the 15% platform fee and 60/25/15 prize split. All amounts are sandbox demo credits during the beta.

If a game is postponed or cancelled before it locks, it's typically excluded from scoring for that pool and picks for it are void. If a pool cannot be scored fairly because of cancellations, the pool creator may void the pool and refund entries to demo wallets.

Multiple accounts, collusion between entrants to manipulate standings, and abuse of the pick or scoring systems are not allowed. Violations can result in disqualification from a pool or suspension of your account. See our community guidelines for more.

If you believe a pool was scored incorrectly, reach out through contact & support with the pool name and game in question.
