These terms and conditions govern your use of our services. Please read them carefully.
NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO PLAY OR WIN. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.
The sponsor of the Free-to-Play Games (the "Games") is Fanstake, Inc. ("Fanstake," or "Sponsor"). Sponsor may partner with third-party brands to fund or provide the rewards (as defined below). Apple and Google are not sponsors of, responsible for conducting, or involved with the Games in any manner.
PARTICIPANTS IN THE GAMES MUST REGISTER AND MAINTAIN AN ACCOUNT WITH SPONSOR AND ACCEPT THE TERMS OF SERVICE ("TERMS"), WHICH IN TURN INCORPORATE AND APPLY TO THESE OFFICIAL RULES ("RULES"). THESE OFFICIAL RULES GOVERN AND CONTROL THE GAMES OFFERED BY SPONSOR AND ARE CONSIDERED TO BE PART OF THE TERMS. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE RULES INCORPORATE [SECTION 19] OF THE TERMS, WHICH INCLUDE MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS. ANY CAPITALIZED TERMS NOT EXPRESSLY DEFINED IN THESE RULES HAVE THE MEANING SET FORTH IN THE TERMS.
The Games are open only to legal residents of the United who are eighteen (18) years of age or older at the time of entry and who are the Authorized Account Holders of active User Accounts (each, as defined below). Void where prohibited by law.
The following individuals are not eligible to play the Games or win a prize: officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, of the Sponsor, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliated companies, or of any other parties involved in the operation of the Games and each of the immediate family members of such excluded individuals (i.e., spouses, parents, children, siblings and the "steps" of each) and all persons living in the same household of each.
By participating in these Games, entrants ("Entrants" or "Participants") agree to be bound by these official rules ("Official Rules") and by the decisions of the Sponsor, which shall be final in all matters relating to the Games. Winning a Reward (defined below) is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set out in these Official Rules. If a Participant is, in the Sponsor's best judgment, determined to have participated in unethical behavior, Sponsor reserves the right to limit or exclude the Participant from the Games.
The Games are subject to all applicable federal, state, provincial, territorial and local laws and regulations. It is the sole responsibility of a Participant to determine whether the Games are legal and compliant with all regulations in the jurisdiction in which the Participant resides.
The Games are all free-to-play ("FTP"). Entrants are required to select a team or school of their choice and compete in a series of Games, involving skill and engagement. The collective success of the fanbase of a particular team or school will determine the winner(s). The winning school(s) or team(s) will receive endorsements from Sponsor and/or a partner of Sponsor. Further, Entrants will have the opportunity to earn "Fanstake Tokens," a virtual currency that is redeemable for gift cards or other prizes of monetary value, Stakes (as defined in the Terms), or name, image, and likeness ("NIL") opportunities (the endorsements and all of the goods or opportunities capable of being redeemed are herein, collectively or individually, referred to as "Rewards".
To participate, you must have an active account with Fanstake ("User Account"). If you do not have a User Account, you can create one free of charge at https://www.fanstake.com (the "Site"). To enter the Games, a Participant must access the Site and sign into their User Account.
Once a Participant has accessed the Site, players will have the opportunity to play the following FTP Games, with additional games being introduced periodically:
Fanstake operates a series of free-to-play Games, including Pick 'Ems, Rivals, and others that contribute to an overall leaderboard. Entrants earn points through participation and performance in these Games. Points are normalized across all Fanstake Games and aggregated over the course of each calendar month. At the end of each month, the Entrants with the highest cumulative point totals will be ranked on the Monthly Leaderboard. The top one-hundred (100) Entrants, or more, as determined by Fanstake, will receive Fanstake Tokens corresponding to their leaderboard position. Tokens are awarded at Fanstake's discretion and have no cash value. The aggregate point totals also contribute to each Entrant's associated school seasonal NIL leaderboard, which tracks overall fan activity and engagement.
In this series of Games, Entrants can choose up to six (6) proposition picks per week. Each correct pick corresponds to the total amount of points the Entrant will earn that week, with a multiplier as Entrants get more picks correct. Points are aggregated by fanbase and entered into a running tally for a particular school or team. The aggregate point total will be applied to the monthly Games Leaderboard and the School NIL leaderboard.
In this series of Games, Entrants have a set "salary cap" budget and can select football or basketball athletes from their selected team or school, as well as athletes from the "Portal." Each athlete has a corresponding "cost" based on past performance, future expectation, and demand. Each week, Entrants play against other Entrants or AI representing the opposing teams, and Entrants earn points based on the real-world performance of their selected athletes. Scoring is normalized across Fanstake Games and athletic events, meaning points earned across games will have the same intrinsic value. The aggregate point total will be applied to the monthly Games Leaderboard and the School NIL leaderboard.
Fanstake reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the Monthly Leaderboard, token distribution, or any related rules at any time without prior notice. The number of rewarded Entrants, reward amounts, and distribution methods are subject to change. Tokens are not redeemable for cash and may only be used within the Fanstake platform in accordance with its current policies and features.
In addition to the limitations of liability set forth in the Terms, you agree that Fanstake, as well as parties involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Services, and any of Fanstakes' or the aforementioned parties' affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, employees, officers, directors, consultants, suppliers, advertisers, payment service providers, partners, and contractors ("Released Parties) are not liable for any downtime, server disruptions, errors, lagging, or any technical or political disturbance to the Games, nor attempts by you to participate by methods, means or ways not intended by us.
Section 19 of the Terms (related to binding arbitration and class action waiver) is incorporated herein by reference with the same force and effect as though fully set forth herein. By agreeing to these Official Rules, you agree to be bound by Section 19 of the Terms.
By playing Games on the Platform, each Participant agrees to comply with and be bound by: (i) the Terms of Use, including without limitation, any ethical provisions as set forth in the Terms of Use; (ii) these Official Rules; and (iii) the decisions of the Sponsor which are binding and final.
Except where prohibited by law, by accepting a Reward, the winner hereby grants Sponsor and its representatives an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive and sub-licensable right and license to use, distribute, and publicly display the winner's name, the contents of any posts, and information about the Reward award, in any way, at any time, in any and all media, including without limitation, for use in advertising and marketing, without any additional approval or consideration.

Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Games or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or in a disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Games may be a violation of criminal and civil law and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Sponsor's failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify the Games or these Rules, or any part of the Games or these Rules, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.
Any notice regarding cancellation, suspension and/or modification will be posted by Sponsor on the Platform. In the event of modifying the Games or these Rules, a participant's continued enrollment and/or participation in the Games constitutes acceptance of the modified Rules.
Any Participant posting or seen to be posting comments on Sponsor's social media pages or elsewhere during the course of the Games that are considered bullying, spiteful, or upsetting to other participants or any other user of the Platform, or directly aimed at Sponsor, will have their comments removed and will be disqualified from the Games. Sponsor reserves the right to alert the operators of any social media sites to any such behavior.
All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Rules, the rights and obligations of Entrants and winners, and the rights and obligations of the Sponsor in connection with the Games, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules.
If any provision of these Official Rules is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck, and the remaining provisions shall be enforced.
