Last updated: Oct 09, 2024

Last updated:

PrizePicks offers a variety of special promotions. Each one is designed to create a uniquely exciting fantasy sports experience for our members.

Several of these promotions can be accessed in the PrizePicks app. Just log into your account and navigate to the Promo tab. If you're using the mobile app, the Promo tab is located on the bottom of your screen. If you're on a web browser, you'll find it on the top left instead.
​
Once you've opened the tab, you should see all of the promotions you are eligible for. Select the promo you'd like to use and follow the in-app instructions to submit your lineup. You should see confirmation that your promo will be applied prior to submitting your lineup.
​
Watch the video walkthrough for more details.

IMPORTANT NOTE: More than one promotion cannot be used on the same lineup unless the instructions specifically state otherwise. See below for a full list of our different promo types and descriptions:


Deposit Match

PrizePicks will match the amount you deposit, effectively doubling your funds (up to a predetermined limit).

If you qualify for a Deposit Match we will notify you directly. All you have to do next is make a deposit and you'll see the bonus funds applied to your balance!

Referral Bonus

After you create an account, you will be assigned a unique, shareable signup code.

For every new PrizePicks account that uses your code at signup, you will earn $25 in promo funds. There is no limit on how many times your code can be used, and no expiration date.

Discounted Projection

PrizePicks will lower an individual stat projection for a limited time, giving Members a better chance to win if they select MORE. Discounted projections typically have a predetermined maximum lineup fee (e.g. up to $20) and may not be combined with other promotional offers in the same lineup.

Discounts are positioned at the top of the board when active and are surrounded by a bright gold banner, making them easy to identify.  There will also be a countdown timer displayed next to the projection showing how long the offer will be available. 

Free Lineup

Free lineups are fairly straightforward; you may submit one lineup that does not remove any funds from your account. The entry fee is predetermined by PrizePicks, and cannot be adjusted by Members. 

If you have a free lineup available, we will notify you directly. You can find the details for any free lineup you're eligible for by navigating to the Promotions tab in the app. Just follow the instructions when selecting the lineup type and the number of squares, and leave the fee amount blank. Winning lineups will be awarded in promo funds according to standard payout rates.

Payout Boost

PrizePicks will increase the payout for a certain sport or lineup type (ex. 2-Pick Power) for a limited time. Payout boosts are accessible through your Promotions tab in the app and are paid out as soon as your lineup settles.

Payout Boosts are ONLY eligible for full-game projections. Any lineup that includes a projection for a specific half, quarter, inning, season, or any other time period other than a full game will not be eligible for a Payout Boost, unless otherwise stated.

Protected Play

Qualifying lineups will receive additional protection in the event of a loss.

In order to create a qualifying lineup, you will need to opt in through your in-app Promotions tab. Then, confirm you want to use your Protected Play by tapping the check box when it appears. If a check box does not appear, your lineup will not qualify; you may need to adjust your selections and try again.

Winning lineups will receive the standard payout rate, while losing lineups will return any net losses to your promo fund balance as soon as it settles.

Taco Tuesday

Our oldest and most beloved PrizePicks tradition! Every week, members vote on a select number of projection squares. The leading vote-getters receive a discounted projection when posted to the board on the following Tuesday. Discounts on the board are marked with a taco icon for easy identification.

Flex Friday

Every Friday, Members will receive a special offer centered around the Flex Play format. Take a look at the official Flex Friday page for more information!

What is Responsible Gaming?

Playing games is supposed to be fun! But sometimes, a hobby can turn into an unhealthy activity, and Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) games are no exception.

We want all PrizePicks Members to have a safe and enjoyable experience on our platform. That's why our game has built-in tools to help keep your play fun and safe. We also require all Members to verify their age before they can make an account. Anyone under the age of 19 (or 21 in AZ and MA) is not permitted to play on PrizePicks.

Additionally, we provide Members with tools that allow you to take control of your responsible gaming experience. These tools make it possible to monitor your play, set limits for yourself, or take a break if and when you need to.

Practicing responsible play 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 play experience or your health. We encourage you to explore the Responsible Gaming Tools and resources available in our app, and to make use of them as needed.

How can PrizePicks Members practice responsible gaming?

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.
What is a Gaming Disorder?

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.

Resources that provide professional and compassionate service include:

PrizePicks' Partnership with Kindbridge

We are proud to partner with Kindbridge Behavioral Health to provide our members with access to professional mental health support. Kindbridge offers services like mental health screening, diagnostic assessments, and therapy sessions. All services are provided by certified clinicians, and there are no costs for PrizePicks members. We understand that one of the biggest barriers to accessing care is cost, and we have removed that barrier. Learn more about our partnership and access the resources (Kindbridge Link).

How do I access the responsible gaming tools?

Log into your account and look for the “Responsible Gaming” tab in the dropdown menu located in the top left corner of the PrizePicks app. If you are using the browser app, the dropdown menu is located in the top right corner instead.

Can I permanently deactivate my PrizePicks account?

Yes, if you feel that playing PrizePicks is having a detrimental effect on your health and well-being, you can permanently deactivate your account. Scroll down to the Self-Exclusion section of the Responsible Gaming Tools and select "LIFETIME" from the dropdown menu.

If you choose to do this, you will not be able to reactivate your account or create a new account for any reason. If you want to delete your account for a reason unrelated to responsible gaming, please refer to instructions on the Deactivation page instead.

BetBlocker

BetBlocker is a free third-party tool designed to help you control your gaming by blocking access to nearly 15,000 gaming websites. It can be installed on as many devices as you would like, and you can customize the period of time you wish to block access (one day minimum, five years maximum). BetBlocker also offers a calendar-blocking functionality which allows you to block specific days of the week, month, or year.

What if I have unused funds left in my account when I self-exclude?

If you have funds left in your account, we recommend you withdraw them BEFORE you finalize your self-exclusion. You will not have access to your account once you submit your request.

If your self-exclusion has an end date (i.e., any selection other than LIFETIME), you will need to wait until the full period of time has elapsed before you can access your funds.

Can I edit or cancel my limit, timeout, or self-exclusion decision after I hit save?

No. For your protection, you may not edit or delete any responsible gaming limitations you initiate until the specified time period has passed.

Concerned about a family member's gaming habits?

If you are concerned that a family member is exhibiting warning signs of compulsive play behavior, please contact PrizePicks’ Customer Support for assistance. Eligible third parties may request that a DFS consumer be excluded from PrizePicks or request the setting of deposit and/or loss limits. Proof of eligibility status will be requested in documentary form evidencing sole or joint financial responsibility for the source of any funds deposited with PrizePicks for gameplay including: (i) proof that the requestor is jointly obligated on the credit or debit card associated with the DFS Consumer's account; (ii) proof of legal dependency of the DFS consumer on the requestor under state or federal law; (iii) proof of the existence of a court order that makes the requestor wholly or partially obligated for the debts of the person for whom exclusion is requested; or (iv) proof of the existence of a court order requiring the DFS consumer to pay unmet child support obligations. PrizePicks, in its sole discretion, may request additional documentary verification information to establish third-party eligibility.

What should I do if I suspect a minor is using PrizePicks?

If you believe that a minor under your care, or any minor, is using PrizePicks, especially if they have used the personal information of an adult family member to create or operate an account, please contact us immediately at support@PrizePicks.com. Our team will take appropriate action to investigate and ensure compliance with our strict age verification policies. We are committed to protecting minors and promoting responsible play.
