1. Overview

PickWho is a free-to-play sports prediction game operated by Soni Digital LLC ("PickWho," "we," "us," or "our"). Users make picks on featured games each contest period. No purchase is necessary to enter or win. Purchasing a premium subscription does not improve your chances of winning.

2. Eligibility

The contest is open to legal residents of the United States (excluding Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana, and Montana) and Canada (excluding Quebec) who are 18 years of age or older. Employees of PickWho (Soni Digital LLC) and their immediate family members are not eligible to win prizes. Void where prohibited by law.

3. How to Enter

To enter, create a free account in the PickWho app and, during the contest period, submit picks for the featured games or earn at least one point in the Daily Trivia, Higher or Lower, or Who Am I? games. Each user may submit one pick per featured game. Picks must be submitted before the posted lock time for each game. No purchase, payment, or subscription is required to enter.

4. Contest Period

Each contest runs for a defined period (typically one week). The start and end dates are displayed in the app. All times referenced in the app are in Central Time (CT) unless otherwise stated.

5. Scoring

Each correct pick earns weighted points based on the game's day of the week (Central Time):

Featured games earn double points for correct picks (e.g., a correct pick on a Sunday featured game = 14 points). The maximum points available for any single pick is 14. Incorrect picks earn 0 points. Tied / voided games (e.g., draws in soccer) do not count for or against a participant's total. PickWho designates each day's featured game at its sole discretion, except on days when it holds a Featured Game vote.

Featured Game vote. On days when PickWho holds a Featured Game vote, participants choose that day's featured game by vote.

(a) Candidates. Every game on that day's board is a candidate, except games that can end in a draw, custom events, and games whose start time or result PickWho cannot confirm automatically. PickWho decides whether to hold a vote on any day, and holds none when fewer than two games can be candidates.

(b) Who may vote. A participant may vote if they are signed in on a version of the app that supports voting and they have saved at least one pick on that day's board. PickWho may also require an account to have existed for a minimum time before it can vote; when it does, the app shows when an account becomes eligible. Each participant may cast one vote per day, and every counted vote carries equal weight. Premium subscribers receive one vote, the same as every other participant. Votes from the accounts of PickWho staff and administrators, and from PickWho test accounts, are recorded but not counted.

(c) How to vote. Voting is free and optional, and voting earns no points. Before a vote is recorded, a participant may be asked to watch a short advertisement. Participants who are not shown advertisements, including Premium subscribers and anyone voting during an ad-free day, vote without one, and if no advertisement is available the vote is recorded anyway. If a participant closes the advertisement before it finishes, no vote is recorded, and the participant may try again while voting is open. A recorded vote cannot be changed.

(d) Timing. Voting opens when the board is posted, normally at 10:00 PM CT, and closes 2 hours before the first game on that day's board locks. The closing time is shown in the app and moves earlier if that game's start time moves earlier. Vote totals are not shown to anyone, including PickWho staff, until voting closes.

(e) Result. The candidate with the most counted votes becomes the featured game. If candidates tie for the most votes, if fewer than 10 votes are counted, or if no votes are cast, the featured game is the candidate among them that PickWho would have featured without a vote.

(f) Changes. If, while voting is open, a candidate is postponed, canceled or rescheduled, or was listed in error, PickWho removes it from the vote; votes for it no longer count, and those participants may vote again without an advertisement. If the featured game is postponed or canceled after voting closes, PickWho may designate the candidate with the next most votes as the featured game if it has not started; otherwise there is no featured game that day. If technical problems, suspected fraud or other factors impair a vote while it is open, PickWho may cancel it; the featured game is then the candidate PickWho would have featured without a vote, and votes cast in the canceled vote do not count.

(g) Integrity. Votes cast through more than one account or by automated means are void, and the participant may be disqualified under General Conditions.

6. Daily Trivia, Higher or Lower, and Who Am I?

In addition to game picks, PickWho offers three daily games that add to a participant's contest score: Daily Trivia, Higher or Lower, and Who Am I? A new question for each game is published every day at 10:00 PM Central Time. Participants have 15 seconds from when a question is revealed to answer it.

The daily games are optional. A participant who skips them is not penalized; their contest standing is determined by their game picks and any daily-game points they earned during the period. PickWho reserves the right to suspend or modify the daily games at any time without affecting the underlying contest.

7. Determining Winners

The winner of each contest is the participant with the highest total points at the end of the contest period. Total points combine the day-weighted points from correct picks (see Scoring) with the points earned in the Daily Trivia, Higher or Lower, and Who Am I? games. In the event of a tie, the following tiebreakers apply in order:

  1. Most correct picks total
  2. Most correct picks on Sunday, then Saturday, Friday, Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday, and Monday
  3. Most correct contrarian picks (correct picks on a side that less than half of the participants who picked that game chose)
  4. Most Daily Trivia points, then most Higher or Lower points, then most Who Am I? points
  5. Earliest submission timestamp on final-day picks

If participants are still tied for a prize position after every tiebreaker, the participant whose account was created first ranks higher for that prize.

Contest results as determined by PickWho are final.

8. Prizes

Prizes, if any, are described in the app for each contest period. Prize values and availability may vary at PickWho's sole discretion. No substitution, transfer, or cash equivalent of prizes is permitted except at PickWho's sole discretion. Winners are responsible for any applicable federal, state, and local taxes on prizes.

9. No Gambling

PickWho is a free-to-play prediction game. No real money is wagered on any pick. This is not a gambling service. No entry fee is required to participate in any contest.

10. General Conditions

PickWho reserves the right to cancel, suspend, or modify any contest if fraud, technical failures, or any other factor beyond reasonable control impairs the integrity of the contest, as determined by PickWho in its sole discretion. PickWho reserves the right to disqualify any participant who tampers with the entry process, violates these rules, or acts in a disruptive or unsportsmanlike manner.

11. Limitation of Liability

PickWho and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents are not responsible for any injuries, losses, or damages of any kind arising from participation in any contest, or from the acceptance, possession, or use of any prize.
