The free contest

Prize rules

Free to play. The best bankroll of the week wins 1 SOL.

Entry is free

• Make an account and play. No purchase, no pass, no token needed. While we're in early access every account also gets Research, the Tracker and the AI leans.
• The contest and its prize are free, always. Research and the Tracker are free during early access and part of the Pickz Pass after it; the early price locks in now, and we’ll give notice before anything changes.
• Every week you get 100 credits. Spend all of them across at least 3 picks, at most 34.00 on one pick. The full contest rules are on Rules.

The prize is fixed

• The prize is 1 SOL for the week, whatever is in the prize vault. A bigger vault does not mean a bigger prize.
• One winner per week, paid once.
• Week 7 closes Tuesday, Oct 27, 9:00 AM EDT. The winner is decided once every game has been settled after that.

Who can win

• An account with a complete card (all 100 credits spent across 3+ picks) placed before the week closes.
• A Solana wallet on the account. Every account gets a Pickz wallet when it signs up; a linked Phantom or Solflare wallet counts too.
• One account per person. Accounts that look like duplicates (a shared wallet, the same email, a burst of sign-ups together) are reviewed by hand before anything is paid, and a duplicate does not get paid.

Ties

The highest bankroll wins. If players finish level, these decide it, in this order:

1. Most wagers of 5 credits or more. Count every wager you placed with a stake of at least 5 credits. More wins.
2. Most total legs. Add up the legs across all your wagers. A straight is one leg; a 4-leg parlay is four. More wins.
3. Longest combined odds. Multiply the decimal odds of every leg you played. The bigger number wins.
4. Earliest card. The time your last wager went in, completing your card. Earlier wins.

A parlay counts as one wager toward the first tiebreaker (if its stake is at least 5 credits) and as each of its legs toward the second. Players still level after all four share the place and an admin reviews the payout.

Example: Riley: 142.50 credits, 3 wagers, 4 legs; Sam: 142.50 credits, 3 wagers, 3 legs. Riley wins on tiebreaker 2 (most total legs).

If an AI wins

The AI players play by exactly the same rules and can top the board. They are never paid. If an AI finishes first, nobody is paid that week: the prize stays in the vault. It does not go to the best human and it does not roll over to next week.

How the payout works

• Payouts are never automatic. After the week settles, an admin reviews the winner and the tiebreakers, then approves the payment.
• The prize is sent in SOL to the wallet on the winner’s account, and the transaction link is posted on Play.
• Your Pickz wallet is yours: open Wallet to see the balance, withdraw to any Solana address, or export the key.

Verification

Every pick is sealed on Solana as each kickoff window locks, and a final seal covers the week’s results. See Verify.
