ANY ATTEMPT BY AN ENTRANT OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE THE WEBSITE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF ANY GAME IS A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND/OR CIVIL LAWS AND SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, DRAFTKINGS RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES AND OTHER REMEDIES FROM ANY SUCH PERSON TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

All entries become the property of DraftKings and will not be acknowledged or returned.

GAME STATISTICS AND LIVE SCORING

To the extent that DraftKings offer "live" statistics during gameplay, all "live" statistics and other information provided through the Website and related information sources are unofficial. Live sports statistics and their respective components are offered for informational and/or entertainment purposes only and are not used to determine the results of our Games.

DraftKings and its third party providers shall not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, usefulness, or availability of any information transmitted or made available via the Website and related information sources, and shall not be responsible or liable for any error or omissions in that information.

GAME RESULTS

To the extent applicable, Game results and prize calculations are based on the final statistics and scoring results at the completion of the last professional sports game of each individual Game. Once Game results are reviewed and graded, prizes are awarded. The scoring results of a Game will not be changed regardless of any official statistics or scoring adjustments made by the leagues at later times or dates, except in DraftKings' sole and absolute discretion.

DraftKings reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to deny any customer or participant the ability to participate in Games for any reason whatsoever. Further, DraftKings may, in its sole and absolute discretion, invalidate any head-to-head Game result for the purposes of preventing abusive and/or any unfair or potentially unlawful activity, or in the event that there is a risk of any such abusive, illegal, or unfair activity.

PRIZES

Subject to the Company verifying your compliance with the Terms, Rules and other conditions of participation, at the conclusion of each Game, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to award the winnings and/or prizes within a reasonable amount of time.

PAYMENT AND WITHDRAWAL OF PRIZES

Before making any payment, DraftKings may require that an entrant complete and execute an affidavit of eligibility in which, among other things, the entrant is required to represent and warrant that the entrant is eligible to participate in a Game, is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement and, potentially, is required to provide documentation or proof of eligibility and compliance. If DraftKings requests that an entrant completes and executes such an affidavit and the entrant fails to do so within seven (7) days, or DraftKings otherwise determines that the entrant does not meet the eligibility requirements or is not in compliance with these Terms, DraftKings reserves the right to terminate the entrant's account and withhold or revoke the awarding of any prizes associated with such account. In such a situation, DraftKings may pay out any withheld or revoked prizes to the other entrants in the relevant Game in a manner consistent with the Rules of the Game.

Entrants may withdraw their cash prize awards as well as cash deposits by using the "Withdrawal" option on the Website. Entrants may be requested to complete an affidavit of eligibility and a liability/publicity release (unless prohibited by law) and/or appropriate tax forms and forms of identification including but not limited to a Driver's License, Proof of Residence, and/or any information relating to payment/deposit accounts as reasonably requested by DraftKings in order to complete the withdrawal of prizes. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in disqualification and forfeiture of any prizes. Disqualification or forfeiture of any prizes may also occur if it is determined any such entrant did not comply with these Terms of Use in any manner.

Checks for withdrawal requests are processed within 14 business days, and are sent via U.S. Mail. Promotional deposits, credits, and other bonuses may not be withdrawn from a DraftKings Account unless appropriate terms of the promotion are achieved first by the user.

All taxes associated with the receipt of any prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. You consent to receive your DraftKings related tax information electronically, which information will be securely hosted by DraftKings and accessible by you through your player account page for at least seven (7) calendar years following the year to which the information relates. Your electronic tax information will be furnished on a downloadable PDF, which you should be able to access and print using a standard PDF reader. You may contact DraftKings at support@draftkings.com if you cannot access your electronic tax information or to request a paper copy of your tax information. If you wish to revoke your consent to receive your tax information electronically, you may contact DraftKings at support@draftkings.com to arrange for all of your post-revocation tax information to be provided to you in paper form. In order to update your recipient information, please use the instructions for changing your personal information in the Privacy Policy.

In the event that the awarding of any prizes to winners of Games is challenged by any legal authority, DraftKings reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine whether or not to award such prizes.

No substitution or transfer of prize is permitted, except that DraftKings reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal value or greater if the advertised prize is unavailable. All prizes are awarded "as is" and without warranty of any kind, express or implied (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability for a particular purpose).

DraftKings, Inc. will take appropriate steps to prevent unauthorized withdrawals from consumer Accounts. Users are subject to an automated Knowledge Base Authentication ("KBA") verification process provided whenever a user attempts to withdraw funds. This process asks a series of at least four multiple choice questions about the person's life, such as known relatives, previous addresses, and to enter their last 4 digits of their Tax ID or Social Security Number. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of a customer, DraftKings, Inc. can and does require its users to produce a copy of their driver's license, credit cards, utility bills or passport for identity verification. If a customer cannot validate their identity and account, DraftKings, Inc. will not release the funds from the account. Once per month, DraftKings, Inc. shall reconcile all liabilities owed to users and the sum of funds or credits in the Segregated Account, the PayPal Account, and credits due to DraftKings, Inc. from credit card processors as of the end date of the immediately preceding month.

Players who believe that funds held by or their accounts with DraftKings, Inc. have been misallocated, compromised or otherwise mishandled, may register a complaint with DraftKings, Inc. online by e-mailing support@draftkings.com or in writing to 225 Franklin Street, 26th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02110. DraftKings, Inc. shall use its best efforts to respond to such complaints within five (5) days. If DraftKings, Inc. determines that the relief requested in the complaint will not be granted, its response will set forth the specific reasons therefore. If more information is required for DraftKings Inc. to process the complaint, the response will note the form and nature of the necessary additional information needed.

A player can request to withdraw funds from their account at any time. Requests for withdrawal will be honored by the later of five business days or ten business days of submission of any tax reporting paperwork required by law, unless DraftKings, Inc. believes in good faith that the player engaged in either fraudulent conduct or other conduct that would put DraftKings, Inc. in violation of New Jersey state law. A request for withdrawal will be considered honored if it is processed by DraftKings, Inc. but delayed by a payment processor, credit card issuer, or by the custodian of a financial account. Players can also permanently close their account at any time for any reason through the DraftKings, Inc. customer service department.
