Payouts can vary depending on entry outcomes, and different game types have distinct calculation rules to ensure fairness.
Pick 'em Champion payouts may vary based on the performance of all entries in the pool. As a peer-to-peer product, your entry competes against others for the prize. Fewer winning entries can result in higher payouts, while more winners may lower the payout amount.
The amounts displayed when creating a Flex Pick'em entry are "up-to" amounts, with your final payout dependent on which picks win or lose. Multipliers play a critical role in determining payouts, and losing selections will disqualify their respective multipliers from being applied, affecting the final payout amount. The "average prize" is an estimate based upon past win-rates for the same size entries.
While a flexed entry is live, the value displayed for a win with a lost selection is based on the highest possible payout, dependent on the selections in the entry. Your modifier pick must be correct to receive the max payout boost. If your modifier pick voids or ties, you will not receive the boost, even if your entry was flexed.
Ladder Challenges Payouts
In Ladder games, payouts are determined by the lowest rung that all selected players achieve. This means that even if most players hit higher rungs, the final payout corresponds to the lowest-placed rung. Below are common scenarios that impact Ladder payouts:
1x Payouts: If one or more of your players only reach the first rung, the payout remains at 1x the entry fee. This ensures refunds in cases where outcomes are limited.
Multi-rung Redistributions: All players must hit higher rungs collectively to qualify for payouts beyond 1x. For example, if three players surpass rung three but one player remains on rung two, the payout aligns with rung two.
Champions State Exceptions: In Champions States, factors like payout pools can slightly adjust standard payouts, even for 1x results.
