CONTEST ENTRY

It is important that you read and understand the specific rules and procedures related to the Contests in which you participate, which are hereby incorporated in their entirety into these Terms of Use by reference, including any amendments made to the rules and procedures at any time. For more information, see the Rules and Scoring for the applicable Contest (available in the Contest Rules tab of the applicable Contest's Details page) and the DraftKings Pick6 section of the DraftKings Help Center available by clicking here , both of which are hereby incorporated in their entirety into these Terms of Use by reference, including any amendments made at any time. The DraftKings Released Parties (as defined in the Account Login and Passwords Section) are not liable and accept no responsibility in the event you participate in a Contest without fully understanding the rules and procedures of the Contest.

Participation in each Contest must be made only as specified in the Agreements. To enter a Contest, you must build a Pick Set of athletes and select whether each of your chosen athletes will outperform or underperform the listed statistical projection (e.g. will Football Running Back A have more than x rushing yards or fewer than x rushing yards) in the real-world game, match, or event listed. The objective is to have more correct selections in your Pick Set than other participants in the Contest. Once you have selected your Pick Set, you must select your entry fee for your Pick Set. Each Contest has a one dollar ($1.00) entry fee; therefore, each dollar of your entry fee represents a single entry into one (1) Contest. Your selected entry fees cannot exceed the amount in your Account, rounded down to the nearest whole dollar. Once you have selected your entry fees, DraftKings will attempt to distribute your entries into available, eligible Contests. Each Contest may have a maximum number of entries per entrant. In the event there are no available, eligible Contests (e.g. all eligible Contests have already received the maximum number of entries) or your entry amount exceeds the number of available eligible Contests, your Pick Set may not be entered into any Contests or may only be entered into the number of available eligible Contests. For clarity, you will only be charged an entry fee for Contest(s) into which you are successfully entered. DraftKings reserves the right to move you from Contest(s) to substantially similar Contest(s) in certain situations, as determined by DraftKings in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason. In the event you were physically located in Connecticut at the time you entered the Contest, DraftKings will not move you from such Contest(s) to substantially similar Contest(s) without the prior approval of the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection. For more information on Contest distribution, see the DraftKings Pick6 section of the DraftKings Help Center available by clicking here , which is hereby incorporated in its entirety into these Terms of Use by reference, including any amendments made at any time.

DraftKings may refuse to accept any Contest entry, any portion of a Contest entry, prohibit you from entering any Contest, or prohibit you from using the DraftKings Platform or the Services, in each case, for any reason or no reason, in DraftKings' sole and absolute discretion. Additionally, prior to a contest starting, DraftKings may cancel any Contest(s) and/or any selections made available to create your Pick Set in DraftKings' sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason.

In the event your Pick Set is successfully entered into a Contest(s), for each Contest your Pick Set is successfully entered into, one U.S. dollar ($1.00) will be debited from your Account balance. In the event you have insufficient funds in your Account, including, without limitation, in the event a deposit has not been received by DraftKings before the Contest entry is placed (e.g. a deposit is still being processed by the payment processor), such entry may be voided by DraftKings in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason. A Contest entry is not valid until the Contest entry is accepted by DraftKings' servers, even in the event such entry appears in your My Picks. You are responsible to ensure all the details and selections of your Pick Set and Contest entry are complete and correct prior to submitting.

Unless otherwise stated in a Contest's description, DraftKings' late swap feature is available for Contest entries. The late swap feature allows entrants to edit their Pick Set provided the game, event, or match associated with the edit has not yet started. DraftKings may void any Contest entries or edits to a Pick Set made after the start of the game, event, or match associated with the Contest entry or Pick Set edit.

Without limiting any other remedies available to DraftKings, in the event you enter a Contest under suspicious circumstances, as determined by DraftKings in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason, including, without limitation, entering a Contest in violation of the Agreements, entering an inordinate amount of Contests, including, without limitation, interconnected Pick Set selections, or entering a series of Contests or making a series of Pick Set selections for Contests in an unusual pattern, DraftKings may suspend access to and use of your Account, void any Contest entries or series of Contest entries, and/or withhold any prizes. You agree to promptly provide DraftKings with all information requested by DraftKings and provide any other assistance or cooperation in connection with DraftKings' investigation of any suspicious Contest entries or activity. In the event you decline to provide DraftKings with such information or otherwise fail to fully assist and cooperate with DraftKings in connection with any investigation of suspicious Contest entries, you agree to forfeit, waive all claims to, and/or return all prizes associated with such Contest entries.

By entering a Contest or using the Services or DraftKings Platform, you agree to be bound by the decisions of DraftKings, which shall be made in DraftKings sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason, and shall be final and binding in all respects. You agree that you have no inherent or vested right to use the DraftKings Platform and/or Services, that you shall not acquire any such right based on your use of the DraftKings Platform and/or Services, and that DraftKings may, in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason, suspend or terminate your Account at any time. DraftKings may refuse to allow you to utilize the DraftKings Platform, the Services, and/or a particular Service, including, without limitation, refusing to accept any Contest entries, in DraftKings' sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason. In the event you engage in conduct or otherwise utilize any information DraftKings deems to be improper, fraudulent, suspicious, cheating, dishonest, or unfair in connection with your entry into a Contest(s) or use of the Services or DraftKings Platform, as determined by DraftKings in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason, DraftKings, at its sole and absolute discretion, may suspend or terminate your Account, void any pending entries, refuse to award you any prizes, and/or require you to return any prizes associated with such improper, fraudulent, suspicious, cheating, dishonest, or unfair conduct or information. The DraftKings Released Parties (as defined in the Account Login and Passwords Section) are not and shall not be liable to you for any suspension or termination of your Account, refusal to accept any Contest entry or any portion of a Contest entry, or voiding of any pending Contest entries. You further acknowledge and agree that the suspension or termination of your Account and/or voiding of any entries shall in no way prevent DraftKings from pursuing criminal or civil proceedings in connection with your improper conduct.

In the event for any reason a Contest is not capable of operating as originally planned, or in the event a Contest or computer application or website associated therewith (or any portion thereof) becomes corrupted or does not allow the proper entry into, or operation of, a Contest in accordance with the Agreements, or in the event of infection by a computer (or similar) virus, bug, tampering, unauthorized intervention, actions by entrants, fraud, technical failures, or any other causes of any kind, that DraftKings determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason, corrupts or affects the administration, security, fairness, integrity, or proper conduct of a Contest, DraftKings reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason, to cancel, terminate, extend, modify, postpone, or suspend the Contest.

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

CONTEST WITHDRAWAL

You may be able to withdraw from Contests under certain circumstances, as determined by DraftKings in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason, for example, in the event only a certain percentage of the Contest entry spots are filled or there is still a stated time period until the start of the Contest. In the event you are able and decide to withdraw from a Contest, you will also be withdrawn from all other Contests into which such Pick Set was entered. As an example only, in the event you built a Pick Set, selected fifty dollars ($50) as the entry fee, the Pick Set was successfully entered into fifty (50) Contests, and you withdraw from one (1) of the Contests, then you would be withdrawn from all fifty (50) of the Contests. For more information on withdrawing from Contests and when withdrawal from Contests will and will not be permitted, please see the DraftKings Pick6 section of the DraftKings Help Center available by clicking here which is hereby incorporated in its entirety into these Terms of Use by reference, including any amendments made at any time.

GAME STATISTICS AND LIVE SCORING

All statistics, results, news, and other information on the DraftKings Platform or Services, including, without limitation, "live" statistics, are unofficial, may not be up to date, and are provided AS IS and for informational and entertainment purposes only. You should not rely on such statistics, results, news, and other information for any purposes, including, without limitation, Contest and Pick Set decisions. Additionally, such statistics and results may not be the same statistics and results used to determine the outcome of Pick Set selections and/or Contests. Neither the DraftKings Released Parties (as defined in the Account Login and Passwords Section) nor DraftKings' third-party providers warrant or make any representations of any kind with respect to the statistics, results, news, or other information provided through the DraftKings Platform, the Services, and any other related information sources. The DraftKings Released Parties and DraftKings' third-party providers shall not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, usefulness, or availability of any statistics, results, news, or other information transmitted, linked to, or made available via the DraftKings Platform, Services, and related information sources and shall not be responsible or liable for any error or omissions in such statistics, news, results, and other information.

RESULTS

Contests offered through the Services and/or DraftKings Platform are contests of skill. Winners are determined based on the participant's skill and knowledge, including, without limitation, with respect to relevant sports information and Contest rules. The Services, DraftKings Platform, and/or Contests may not be used for any form of illicit gambling.

Contests are scored based on the number of correct selections in your Pick Set for that Contest. Contests results are based on the final statistics and scoring at the completion of the applicable game(s), contest(s), match(s), or event(s) associated with the Contest. Upon completion of the last game, contest, match, or event associated with the Contest, results are reviewed, entries are graded, and any prizes are awarded. Final scoring results and statistics will not be changed, regardless of any official statistics or scoring adjustments made at later times, except in DraftKings' sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason. In the event a game(s), contest(s), match(s), or event(s) associated with a Contest is canceled, postponed, or rescheduled, for purposes of the Contest, such cancelation, postponement, or rescheduling shall be treated in accordance with the Contest Rules for the applicable Contest (available in the Contest Rules tab of the applicable Contest's Details page) which are hereby incorporated in their entirety into these Terms of Use by reference, including any amendments made at any time.

PRIZES

Each Contest has a prizing structure setting forth tiers based on the number of correct selections in a Pick Set (each a "Prize Tier") and the portion of the Contest's total guaranteed prize pool dedicated to each Prize Tier. Any estimated prizes listed for a Contest are calculated based on historical averages and are estimates only. The portion of a Contest's total guaranteed prize pool dedicated to a Prize Tier will be split by all entrants with an entry in that Prize Tier, based on the number of entries each entrant has within that Prize Tier. See the Contest's "Prize Structure" tab for the Contest's Prize Tiers and the amount of the Contest's total prize pool dedicated to each Prize Tier. The Contests Prize Structure tab is hereby incorporated in its entirety into these Terms of Use by reference, including any amendments made to the Prize Structure at any time. In the event no entries fall within a particular Prize Tier for a Contest, the portion of the Contest's prize pool dedicated to such Prize Tier will be added to the highest Prize Tier (i.e. the Prize Tier requiring the most correct Pick Set selections) that has at least one (1) Contest entry that falls within that Prize Tier. In the event no entries fall within a Contest's Prize Tier, the total prize pool for the Contest will be distributed to entrant(s) with the most correct selections, based on the number of entries such entrant(s) has in the Contest that contains the most amount of correct selections. In the event no entrants in a Contest make a correct selection, each entrant will receive their entry fees for such Contest. DraftKings may from time-to-time award bonuses, including, without limitation, Pick6 Credits, to certain entrants that participate in a Contest and/or certain entrants with an entry in a particular Contest's Prize Tier. Such bonuses are separate from Contest prizes and are awarded in DraftKings' sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason, and DraftKings may commence or cease offering such bonuses at any time for any reason or no reason, in DraftKings sole and absolute discretion.

Subject to DraftKings verifying your compliance with the Agreements and any other conditions of participation, DraftKings shall use reasonable efforts to award any prizes within a reasonable amount of time after the Contest results have been determined.

All taxes associated with the receipt of any prizes are the sole responsibility of the winner. DraftKings may report prizes to the applicable state agency and/or Internal Revenue Service and/or withhold a portion of your prize(s) based on the gross or net amount won. DraftKings will remit any portion of your prize(s) withheld for tax purposes to the Internal Revenue Service and/or the applicable state agency in compliance with applicable law.

You consent to receive your DraftKings related tax information, including, without limitation, Forms 1099 and W-2G (if applicable), electronically, which information will be securely hosted by DraftKings and accessible to you through your player account page for at least seven (7) calendar years following the year to which the information relates.

In the event the awarding of any prize is challenged by any legal authority, DraftKings reserves the right to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason, whether or not to award such prize. In the event you win an amount or prize over a certain value, and you owe certain amounts to the state, including, without limitation, child support arrearages or unpaid taxes, DraftKings may suspend your Account, prevent you from making withdrawals from your Account, and/or withhold and remit any prizes, or portion thereof, in accordance with applicable law.
