Do all Members have the same rules?
For the most part, yes, you'll be on equal footing with other Members who are submitting the same types of picks as you. There are a few notable exceptions though, which are detailed below:
Age-based Deposit Limits: We’re always excited to welcome new Members to PrizePicks!
In an effort to encourage healthy habits for app usage, PrizePicks offers various Responsible Gaming tools which allow Members to set personalized limits for themselves. Research on app usage has shown that regular breaks and activity limits enhance the overall experience. That's the kind of positive and enjoyable experience we want for all our Members.
For our youngest Members, specifically 18, 19, and 20 year-olds, we go a step further. All accounts belonging to Members in this age range will have a mandatory monthly deposit limit automatically applied in the amounts below:
18 years of age - $1,500.00 per month
19 years of age - $3,000.00 per month
20 years of age - $5,000.00 per month
Limits are determined by current age as listed on the government-issued identification provided at signup. Limits will automatically reset at the beginning of each calendar month and will automatically increase on the Member's date of birth.
Promo Eligibility: To be eligible for a promo offer, a Member must be notified directly by the PrizePicks team via email or in the app.
If you have not received any notification for a specific promotional offer, that typically means you are not eligible. Promos cannot be shared, duplicated, or reused.
A number of different factors go into our promo eligibility, including but not limited to playstyle, location, and seasonality. Each Member will have a unique promo journey on PrizePicks, and we're always in the lab cooking up exciting new experiences for our entire Member base.
There will be many promotions available throughout your journey with PrizePicks, so keep an eye on your email, social media, and Discord for more information about promos.

Using the PrizePicks app is supposed to be fun! But sometimes, a hobby can turn into an unhealthy habit, and making sports and culture picks is no exception.
Whether your picks are correct or not, you might find yourself being drawn to try again without consideration of potential risks. The information on this page can help you stay aware of your habits and develop a plan to maintain control.
We want all PrizePicks Members to have a safe and enjoyable experience on our platform. That's why our app has built-in limits to safeguard you from depositing or submitting picks too much, or too often. We also require all Members to verify their age before creating an account. Anyone under the age of 18 will not be permitted to use PrizePicks, no matter what. If an eligible jurisdiction requires a higher age threshold, PrizePicks will honor the rules of that region. This means it may be possible for you to make picks in certain regions while being restricted in others.
We also provide customizable tools that allow you to take control of your experience, by making it easy to take a break if and when you need to.
We want to be clear: setting boundaries for yourself is not an indication that you have a problem. It's an effective way to make sure you don't develop habits that negatively affect your experience. We encourage you to explore the Responsible Gaming Tools and resources available in our app, and to make use of them as needed.
PrizePicks features several responsible gaming tools and resources to ensure a safe and secure DFS experience. This includes:
- Alerts: Receive notifications if you go over your preselected daily, weekly, or monthly thresholds for lineup submissions.
- Limits: Set self-imposed daily, weekly, or monthly deposit or play limits for at least 90 days.
- Timeouts: Temporarily disable your ability to submit lineups or deposit funds for a period between 1 and 30 days.
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily disable all access to your account and block all marketing notifications for 30 days or more.
Timeout and Self-Exclusion Policy
- Timeouts: You can take a break from PrizePicks for a minimum of 1 day and a maximum of 30 days. During this time, you won't be able to submit lineups or deposit funds, but you can still log in and withdraw funds.
- Self-Exclusion: You can exclude yourself from PrizePicks for a set amount of time. The duration options are 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or Lifetime. During this time, you won't be able to play or log in to your account. Self-exclusion and timeouts are important responsible gaming tools to protect your player health. If you're concerned about your gaming habits, these might be the right tools for you. We also encourage you to check out our Kindbridge Behavioral Health benefits available for free to all PrizePicks Members. Learn more here.
A gaming disorder is when someone struggles to control their gaming habits, and it begins to negatively affect their life and health. Signs of problem gaming include playing for longer periods than intended, trying to cut back on gaming but not being able to, and losing interest in other activities.
Additional Information
Like many other addictions, problem play includes uncontrollable urges, which, if left unchecked, could result in financial hardship. Anyone could be susceptible to problem play regardless of age, gender, race, or financial status. However, once detected, problem play can be successfully treated. The key is early detection to avoid adverse consequences. If you feel you have a problem, we urge you to seek assistance. Learn more about resources available to you through our partnership with Kindbridge Behavioral Health.
Problem-play warning signs include:
- Playing more to recoup or chase previous losses.
- Sacrificing time from family or work to participate in tournaments.
- Repeated inability to stop or control participating.
- Borrowing money to participate or to pay off previous losses.
- Neglecting one’s family or oneself due to excessive play.
- Lying or not being truthful about time or money lost to playing.
- Selling or pawning personal property to play.
- Feelings of hopelessness, depression, or suicide.
If you or someone you know is or may be experiencing a problem, remember that assistance, intervention, and treatment are available.
