5.1. Fantasy Esports Contests
There are a number of Fantasy Esports Contests made available on the Service in which You create and manage fantasy Rosters of Esports Players an/or Teams for Leagues. The Service offers a plurality of different types of Contests with varying Roster requirements and different methods of drafting Esports Players (professional Esports athletes) and Teams. We reserve the right to modify or cancel Contest(s) at any time without notice to You.
Winning a Fantasy Esports Contest is determined by Your ability to use Your skill and knowledge of relevant professional Esports information and fantasy Esports Rules to accumulate the most fantasy Points. Fantasy Points are accumulated through the aggregated performance of individual Esports Players and/or Teams across multiple Esports Events.
Draft Rules, Team and Player rankings, Entry Fees and Scoring Systems may differ from Contest to Contest. Each of Our Contests are governed by specific Rules, as may be modified from time to time, which are set forth under the Contest Rules, and are incorporated into these Terms by this reference. You may review Contest information specific to the Contest within the applicable Contest page.

You agree to abide by the then-current rules for the Contest(s) in which You participate. Your failure to follow the then-current rules for the Contest(s) in which You participate will result in Your immediate and automatic forfeiture of the Contest(s), and We reserve the right to immediately suspend or terminate Your access to the Services.
Picklebet is not affiliated with or sponsored by any Esports league.
5.2. Entry Fees and Payment
Picklebet may offer Fantasy Esports Contests that will require an Entry Fee, which will be listed in U.S. Dollars (“USD”). The Entry Fee may vary from Contest to Contest. It is Your responsibility to know and understand the Rules and required Entry Fees for any given Contest. Upon entering a Roster in a Contest, the Entry Fee will be deducted from the funds in Your respective AUD, NZD, USD or EUR Account based on a fixed exchange rate for the specific Contest (AUD:USD, NZD:USD, EUR:USD, USD:USD). You may review charges relating to Your Account by viewing the Statements within Your eWallet.
In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of the person submitting an entry into a Contest, the entry will be deemed submitted by the person in whose display name the entry was submitted, or if possession of the display name itself is contested, the name of the Authorized Account Holder. “Authorized Account Holder” is defined as the natural person who is the age of majority in his or her Jurisdiction of residence and who is assigned to an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, or other organization (e.g., business, education institution, etc.) that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address for registration with the Services.
By inputting a payment method to deposit AUD, NZD, USD or EUR and participate in Picklebet Contests, the Authorized Account Holder hereby affirms that the Authorized Account Holder is the lawful owner of the payment method account used to make any deposit(s) or purchase(s). It shall be a violation of these Terms for any Authorized Account Holder to submit payment using any payment method that is not owned by the Authorized Account Holder.
You accept full responsibility for any Contests entered into by Your Account and acknowledge that You have not relied on any statement, representation or advice from Us in deciding whether to enter into a Contest. You also acknowledge that by using the Services and entering into Contests with Entry Fees, You may lose such Entry Fees and this will preclude You from issuing a chargeback on any non-fraudulent transaction. Any participation in which Entry Fees will be paid is at Your sole discretion and risk.
By entering into a Contest, You warrant that You do not know the outcome of the subject matter of the Contest. If You have an interest in an Event, You cannot enter into a Contest that could reasonably be taken to constitute an inducement for a Player in the Event to (i) withdraw from, become disqualified for or fail to participate in the Event; (ii) not participate in the Event to the best of his or her ability; or (iii) to interfere with or jeopardize, contrary to the rules of the Event, the performance of Players in the Event. Additionally, if You have an interest in an Event, You cannot enter into a Contest that could reasonably be taken to constitute an inducement for an official in the Event to not officiate the Event impartially.
We reserve the right to declare as void a Contest or Your entry into a Contest and its associated Entry Fees if, in Our sole discretion, We suspect (i) a User or persons associated with a User unfairly influence the outcome of an Event; (ii) a User is in breach of these Terms, including, without limitation the respective Contest Rules; or (iii) the result of an Event has been directly or indirectly affected by criminal activity.
We reserve the right to cancel or void any Contests, in Our sole discretion which shall be final and binding, if in Our reasonable opinion, there is a manifest error in the subject Contests or a technological failure occurred within the subject Contests.
5.3. Live Statistics
To the extent that live statistics are offered during gameplay, all such statistics and other information provided through the Services are unofficial. Live Esports statistics and their respective components are offered for entertainment purposes only. While We use reasonable efforts to provide accurate and real time information, We do not represent or warrant that the live statistics and other information provided through the Services are accurate or up-to-date. You acknowledge and agree that We shall not be responsible or liable for the availability, accuracy or usefulness of any live statistics or information provided through the Services or for any errors or omissions related thereto.
5.4. Results and Winners
After each Fantasy Esports Contest ends, the Contest state will adjust from ‘Live’ to ‘Confirming’, with the projected winners visible on the Contest Leaderboard. However the Contest remains subject to final verification prior to the Contest state reverting to ‘Completed’.
Winners are based on the results as of the time final Points are tabulated by Picklebet and the Contest state is set to ‘Completed’. The results and winners of each Contest offered on the Services will be determined by Us at Our sole discretion and such determinations are final. We will utilize Esports statistics provided by 3rd party providers to make such determinations.
Once Contests are Completed by Picklebet, the Points will not be changed in light of official adjustments made by the professional Esports leagues, though We reserve the right to make adjustments based on errors or irregularities in the transmission of information to Us from 3rd party providers or in Our calculation of Points. We also may make adjustments in the event of noncompliance with the Terms. Picklebet has no obligation to delay the awarding of a Payout in anticipation of any adjustment, but We reserve the right to reverse Payouts in the event of any adjustment. By registering an Account and/or participating in any Fantasy Esports Contest, You agree to be bound by these determinations and agree to cooperate with Our efforts to reverse Payouts.
5.5. Contest Prizes
The Users in each Fantasy Esports Contest who accumulate the most fantasy Points and comply with eligibility requirements and applicable Contest Rules will win prizes as set out in the posted Prize Pool Splits. In the event that two or more User’s Rosters finish on the same Points total in a Completed Contest, the Payout for those places will be calculated by adding the Prize Pool Splits for those places together and dividing equally among those Users. Picklebet offers a number of different types of Fantasy Esports Contests. For each Contest, We announce the Entry Fee and potential Prize Pool in advance on the Contest page. For a summary of Entry Fees and potential Prize Pools for Pending Contests please visit the Lobby.
No substitution or transfer of prize is permitted except at Our sole discretion. All prizes are awarded AS IS and WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, express or implied, (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose) by Us. If any legal authority challenges the award and/or Your receipt of a prize for winning a Contest on the Site, We reserve the right to revoke, cancel, suspend, substitute, or modify the award of such prize.
All AUD, NZD, USD and EUR Payouts will be deposited directly into Your Account. Any amounts that are mistakenly credited as a Payout to Your Account remain Our property and will automatically be debited from Your Account upon confirmation of the error. Any Payouts mistakenly credited to Your Account that have been withdrawn by You before confirmation of the error will constitute a debt owed by You to Us in the amount of such wrongfully attributed Payout.
It is the policy of Picklebet, in compliance with United States Internal Revenue Service regulations, to send an IRS Form 1099 or other appropriate form to any Resident of the United States of America who wins in excess of six hundred dollars ($600 USD) in any given year. Depending on the Jurisdiction in which You reside, Picklebet may also send You additional, similar tax forms. However, You remain solely responsible for paying all federal and other taxes in accordance with the laws that apply in Your state, province, and/or country of residence.
5.6. Affidavit of Eligibility
If You are eligible for a prize, You may be required to execute and return an affidavit of eligibility, a copy of Your driver’s license, a liability release and, where lawful, a publicity release within seven (7) days of issuance. If such documents are not returned within the specified time period, or if You are not in compliance with these Terms, the prize will be forfeited and may be awarded to another potential winner at Our discretion.

Where We suspect that You are participating in any form of collusion, fraudulent practices or money laundering activities, We reserve the right to report such activity to the relevant authorities and regulators, online service providers, banks, credit card companies, electronic payment providers or other financial institutions including details of Your identity and You agree to cooperate fully with Us to investigate any such activity.

You may only make deposits into Your Account, for the purpose of using the Services and We reserve the right to suspend or terminate Your Account in the event that We, in Our sole discretion, suspect that You are using Your Account for other purposes. In such an event, We reserve the right to impose a five percent (5%) handling fee, to be deducted from any withdrawals to cover administration time and all charges associated with the relevant deposits or purchases, prior to closing your Account.
In accordance with our NTRWC licence conditions, Picklebet maintains a separate bank account which contains sufficient funds to cover all User Account funds. This serves to protect Users in the event of insolvency.
6.2. Bonuses and Promotions
From time to time, Picklebet may offer bonuses to newly depositing or purchasing Users and for other marketing purposes. Any bonuses and/or promotions are subject to their respective terms and requirements and the Promotional Terms and Conditions. In the event of abuse of the bonus system by any User, Picklebet reserves the right to retract the User’s bonuses as they deem appropriate.
6.3. Withdrawals
You may request a withdrawal of funds from the available account balance in Your Account at any time subject to these Terms and upon verification of Your identity and eligibility. To be eligible to withdraw any funds related to a Promotional Offer, You must have complied with the Promotional Terms and Conditions associated with such offer. Upon receipt/use of Bonus Cash You are bound by the promotion’s Promotional Terms and Conditions.
It is a requirement that you turnover any deposited funds at least once before withdrawal. Turning over funds requires you to place Bets, or enter into Contests, with the funds you have deposited. Only the portion of the Bet Stake, or Entry Fees, that are funded from your available balance will count towards meeting the Turnover requirements. Bonus Cash is not included.
There are a number of limited circumstances where we will return Deposited funds without having met the turnover requirements, including, but not limited to, where a User has deposited funds in error (for example via typographical error); where a deposit is made in order for a User to bet on a specific product or event, and that event is subsequently cancelled; and where a User self excludes or their Account is closed due to a gambling problem. Under the limited circumstances described above, We may perform additional User verification prior to accepting the withdrawal.
Additionally, Account holders with pending deposits must wait until those funds clear before requesting a withdrawal. You must be a named account holder on any bank account, and / or registered holder of any digital address, associated with Your Account. The processing of requested funds back to Your registered account may take up to five (5) business days; provided, however, Picklebet reserves the right to freeze Your Account and/or delay a request for withdrawal of funds pending completion of any investigation of reported or suspected abuse by a User requesting withdrawal of funds. Withdrawals of funds will display on Your bank statement as “Puntaa Pty Ltd”. If You do not receive Your withdrawal within five (5) business days, please send an email to support@picklebet.com, with the subject heading “Fund Withdrawal.”
Depending on Your selected method of withdrawal, fees may be payable by You as a result of withdrawing funds from Your Account and will be treated as an independent charge by the relevant payment provider, for which You accept full responsibility. These fees, if applicable, will be made clear to You when withdrawing funds from Your Account.
As previously noted, You may only make deposits into Your Account for the purpose of using the Services and We reserve the right to suspend or terminate Your Account in the event that We, in Our sole discretion, suspect that You are using Your Account for other purposes. In such an event, We reserve the right to impose a five percent (5%) handling fee, to be deducted from any withdrawals to cover administration time and all bank charges associated with the relevant deposits.
Accounts may require verification by us prior to any withdrawal. We reserve the right to require You or Your financial institution (if applicable) to submit verification of identification to ascertain the validity of a withdrawal request and Your identity. Withdrawal payments will not be made until such verification is received.
All funds must be Withdrawn using a payment method that is registered solely in Your personal name. Picklebet has the right to suspend or terminate Your Account(s), refuse any and all current or future use of the Services, Void any Contest entries or Bets, and withhold or revoke the awarding of any prizes or Payouts, in the event that you withdraw or attempt to withdraw, using Payment methods registered to another individual.
If you have used a payment card to deposit to your Account, we may require you to:
(i) verify the payment card by charging that card with a small amount and asking you to confirm the exact amount in accordance with our instructions; and/or
(ii) to provide us with a legible copy of both sides of the card.
You will not be permitted to withdraw any funds from your Account until you have verified all payment cards you have sought to use on your Account in accordance with these Terms.
If Your Account is closed by Us for a violation of the Terms, We reserve the right to determine whether to declare as void any transaction(s) placed by You and Your deposits and winnings may be voided and not returned to You. In such an event, We use these funds to defray the costs of administration and enforcement of the Terms.
6.4. Currencies
All deposits and withdrawals will be denominated in a Users respective default currency (AUD, NZD, USD, EUR), unless otherwise expressly stated.
6.5. Dormant Accounts
A “Dormant Account” is any Account which, for twelve (12) consecutive months or more, has not (i) received any deposits or made any purchases; (ii) had funds withdrawn; or (iii) had a Contest Entry Fee or Bet Stake debited from it. A Suspended Account will be deemed a Dormant Account after twelve (12) consecutive months from the date such Account was suspended, closed or self-excluded.
In addition to Available Funds in a Dormant Account, any monetary rewards, incentives or Bonus Cash given to an Account shall be revoked by Picklebet, in full when an Account is deemed a Dormant Account. We reserve the right to impose on the last day of each month a handling fee of ten dollars ($10 AUD, NZD, USD or €10 EUR respectively) per month for each Dormant Account, which will be deducted in arrears at any time within ten (10) business days of the subsequent month together with an annual handling fee of fifty dollars ($50 AUD, NZD, USD or €50 EUR respectively) per year due on December 31st of each calendar year.
