Everything you need to know about PickWho
Is PickWho gambling?
No. PickWho is a free prediction game for entertainment purposes only. You never deposit money, place wagers, or risk any financial loss. There are no odds, spreads, or parlays. You simply pick which team you think will win.
How do I make picks?
Each week, you'll see upcoming games. Tap on the team you predict will win before the game starts. Once a game begins, that pick is locked and cannot be changed.
How does scoring work?
Correct picks earn points based on the day of the week (Central Time): Monday is worth 1 point, Tuesday 2, all the way up to Sunday at 7 points. The week builds toward Sunday, so later games carry more weight. Incorrect picks earn 0 points; tied/voided games (e.g., draws) don't count for or against you. You can also earn +1 contest point per day from the Daily Trivia question. See below.
What are featured games?
Each day, an admin can mark one or more games as "featured"; these are typically the most interesting matchups. Correct picks on featured games earn double points. A correct pick on a Sunday featured game is worth 14 points (7 × 2). Featured games are visually highlighted on the picks screen with a gold border and badge.
What is Daily Trivia?
Every day at 10pm Central Time, PickWho posts a new sports trivia question (multiple choice or true/false). You have 15 seconds to answer. Get it right and you earn +1 contest point, added to your weekly total alongside your game picks. You can also build a daily streak by showing up - even a wrong answer counts toward your streak.
How does the Daily Trivia retry work?
If you get a question wrong, you can keep retrying up to the number of options on it: multiple-choice gives you up to 4 attempts, true/false up to 2. Each wrong option is greyed out so you can't pick it again, and the unlock ad has to be watched between attempts. The correct answer is revealed once you're finished, either by answering correctly or working through every option. To earn the +1 point you need to be correct AND watch the rewarded ad after submitting (Premium subscribers and admins skip the ad).
What happens if I run out of time on trivia?
The 15-second timer keeps things honest: long enough to think, short enough that you can't just go look up the answer. If you had an option highlighted when time ran out, that selection gets submitted automatically (you don't get punished for being a split-second late on the Submit button). If nothing was highlighted, the attempt is recorded as a forfeit and you can still retry like any other wrong answer. Either way, your streak is preserved as long as you opened today's question.
How do trivia streaks work?
Your streak ticks up by 1 each trivia day you participate (right OR wrong, showing up counts). Hit 7 in a row and you bank a streak freeze, a saved skip that protects your streak the next time you miss a day. So perfect weeks pay off twice: the points for the trivia you got right, plus a freeze in your back pocket. Streaks are independent of contest scoring and don't expire week-to-week.
How do I win prizes?
Each weekly contest has a Prize (typically an Amazon gift card). The user with the most points at the end of the contest week wins. Tiebreakers in order: (1) most correct picks, (2) most correct picks on Sunday, then Saturday, Friday, etc. down to Monday, (3) most winning underdog picks, (4) earliest final-day pick submission. Prize eligibility, amounts, and distribution are at the sole discretion of Soni Digital LLC.
Is the app really free?
Yes, PickWho is completely free to use. You can make unlimited picks and compete in all contests at no cost. We offer an optional premium subscription that removes ads when saving picks, but this is entirely optional. See the app for current pricing.
How is PickWho funded?
PickWho displays ads when free users save their picks. Ad revenue funds the weekly prizes and app operations. Premium subscribers support the app directly through their subscription.
Can I have multiple accounts?
No. Each user may have only one account. Creating multiple accounts is prohibited and will result in termination of all accounts and disqualification from prizes.
How do I delete my account?
You can delete your account at any time through Settings > Delete Account in the app. Account deletion is permanent and removes all your data including picks, stats, and leaderboard history.
