  • By joining a league, you agree to abide by the scoring and prize distribution rules specified at the time of entry.

4. League Creator Responsibilities

  • League creators are the independent organizers and owners of the leagues they create, and are not employees, agents, partners, or representatives of the Platform.
  • League creators are solely responsible for confirming that creating, operating, advertising, inviting participants to, and receiving fees from their leagues is lawful in every jurisdiction where they are located or where they allow, invite, or market to participants.
  • League creators must not create, market, invite users to, or operate paid or prize-based leagues in any territory where doing so requires a gaming, gambling, fantasy sports, sweepstakes, lottery, money transmission, or similar license, registration, permit, approval, or authorization that the creator does not hold.
  • Participants are responsible for confirming that they may lawfully join paid or prize-based leagues from their location and under any laws that apply to them.
