The game

One card a week. It has every Sunday and Monday game — usually 13 or 14 of them — and you pick the winner of every single one. No point spreads, no over/unders, just who wins.

The board shows what an entry costs right now, read straight from the contract. Whoever gets the most games right splits the pot. If three people tie for the most right, the pot splits three ways. Simple.

Not sure about a game? Box it.

Box Play lets you take both teams in a game, so that game can’t be wrong for you. It costs double for every game you box: 1 box is $20, 2 boxes $40, 3 boxes $80, 4 boxes $160. Four is the max. Feeling lazy? Auto-pick fills in whatever you left blank.

You can also buy an entry for someone else: put their wallet address in, pay, and the entry (and any winnings) are theirs.

When picks close

The card goes up Tuesday and closes at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, at the first kickoff — earlier if there’s a morning game in London. Once it’s closed nobody can get in, not even us. The site stops taking picks a minute early so you’re never caught by the clock.

Ties, postponements, weird stuff

If a game ends in a tie, gets postponed to another week, or gets called off, it counts as correct for everyone. You don’t lose anything on a game that didn’t happen.

If four or fewer games on a card actually get played, no results can be posted at all — the contract refuses them. The card then has to be cancelled, which is a call we make; if we never make it, anyone can cancel the card 30 days after it was due to end. Once it is cancelled everyone gets a full refund, including any discount you got. Nobody keeps a cent of it.

Where the money goes

The board shows the live split of every entry: what goes into the pot, what goes into the jackpot, and what we keep. Those are the numbers on the contract right now; the split is locked in on each card when it’s created, so what you see when you enter is what you get.

The pot is divided equally between the entries with the most correct picks. If somehow everybody scores zero, everybody wins.

The Perfect-Card jackpot

Get every single game right and you also win the jackpot, on top of your share of the pot. If more than one person goes perfect, they split it. If nobody does, it rolls over to next week and keeps growing.

One catch: at least 8 games on the card need to have actually been played. A card wiped out by weather doesn’t pay the jackpot on three real games.

Everybody pays the same price

There is no $PICKEM token yet and no discount wired to this contract. Every entry costs the same, whoever you are and whatever you hold. If that ever changes, the tiers will show up on the token page, read live from the contract — not here.

Results and payouts

Scores come from ESPN and are double-checked against a second feed before they’re posted, usually late Monday night after the last game. Then there’s a 12-hour cool-off where the results are public and anyone can check them. After that, payouts unlock, normally Tuesday morning.

You collect your winnings (or a refund on a cancelled card) from My Entries with the wallet that owns the entry. Nothing expires; claim it whenever you like.

The percentages next to each team

Some cards show a win probability beside each team. That is not our opinion and it does not affect anything. It is the average of what other people's markets are charging — a sportsbook line and a prediction-market price — converted into a percentage and stripped of the bookmaker's built-in margin, so the two sides add up to 100.

Treat it as a hint, not an instruction. Everyone piling onto the favourites is exactly how a pool ends in a ten-way split, so the counter next to your picks tells you how many you have taken with the favourite and how many against.

Don’t trust us. Check.

Every card has a results page that shows each game, the official score with a link to ESPN, how every entry scored, who won and how much. All of it is read straight from the blockchain. We can’t change a result after the cool-off, we can’t hold your money, and we can’t stop payouts. If the site ever went down, you could still collect straight from the contract.

If you want to know why we can’t do those things, it’s explained on the Under the Hood tab — in English, no crypto knowledge needed.

The fine print

You must be 18 or older. Paid pools are regulated or banned in a lot of places, so this service is not available anywhere it would be illegal, and it’s on you to know whether that includes where you are.
