Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create a PrizePicks account?
Creating an account is straightforward. Download the app or visit PrizePicks on desktop, enter your email and a secure password, and provide basic information (name, date of birth, and location). You may be asked to enter a promo code during signup to claim certain offers — enter it before your first deposit if required. After registering, you’ll need to verify your email and complete any age or location checks required by law. Once your account is active, you can place your first lineup; many welcome offers require a minimum $5 entry to qualify. If you encounter any issues during signup, use live chat or email support@prizepicks.com for help.
What welcome bonuses and promos are available right now?
PrizePicks runs several common promotions that change regularly. Popular examples include the “Play $5, get $50 in Lineups” offer (codes like MAXBONUS, HANDLE, and others are frequently used), a PROMO code crediting $50 for qualifying new users (valid through 12/31/2025), and recurring promos such as Taco Tuesday or Flex Friday. The brand data also lists a 100% up to $1000 welcome bonus in some offers — always check the exact terms. Bonuses are typically credited as Lineups or bonus balance, not immediately withdrawable cash, and they may expire if unused (default 90 days). Read promo terms carefully before opting in to understand eligibility, activation steps, and any limits.
Are there no-deposit bonus codes?
No-deposit offers are rare and vary by region and time. Most PrizePicks new-user bonuses require you to place a qualifying entry (commonly a $5 minimum) to receive bonus lineups. If a no-deposit code is available, it will be promoted in-app or through official channels and will come with clear activation rules. Always check promo terms for validity, platform restrictions, and expiration. If you believe you’ve found a no-deposit offer, verify it in the Promos tab or contact support for confirmation.
How do I make deposits and which payment methods are accepted?
PrizePicks supports a wide range of deposit options to suit different preferences. Common methods include Visa, American Express, bank wire transfer, Zelle, MyPayLinQ, NetSpend, and a selection of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Tether (USDT). Some regional options like UnionPay, Rapid Transfer, and voucher or money transfer services may also be available. Supported currencies include USD and several crypto assets. Minimums and processing times vary by method; credit/debit and crypto are often fastest. If a method you want isn’t visible, it may not be supported in your location. Check the deposit page in-app for the current list and step-by-step instructions.
How do withdrawals work and how long do they take?
Withdrawals require account verification and depend on the method you choose. Common payout paths include bank transfers, courier checks, crypto transfers, and card refunds where supported. Processing time for PrizePicks to approve a withdrawal can range from same-day to several business days; after approval, settlement depends on the payout method (crypto and card refunds are usually faster than wire transfers or courier checks). Make sure your account is fully verified to avoid delays. If a player didn’t play or a lineup pushes, payout tiers can change — review your lineup results and payout notifications to see final amounts.
What are wagering requirements and how do PrizePicks bonuses work?
PrizePicks typically issues bonuses as Lineups or bonus balance rather than withdrawable cash. Wagering-style requirements depend on the promotion: many welcome bonuses require you to place a qualifying real-money entry (for example, a $5 lineup) before bonus lineups are credited. Bonus lineups must be used on PrizePicks contests and usually can’t be cashed out directly; any winnings from bonus lineups will be subject to the promotion’s terms. Unused bonuses generally expire after 90 days. Promotional programs may have their own rules, so always read the specific terms attached to an offer.
Can I play on mobile devices?
Yes. PrizePicks is designed for mobile play and works on iOS and Android via the app, plus a responsive website for desktop play. The app supports full account management: depositing, creating lineups, opting into promos, and tracking results in real time. If your device isn’t compatible with the latest app version, access the site through a mobile browser. For best performance, keep the app updated and ensure your device meets current OS requirements.
What games and software providers power PrizePicks?
PrizePicks focuses on daily fantasy “pick’em” formats where you choose player projections and select “More” or “Less” for each stat. Availability of specific game types varies by location: Player Picks, Team Picks, Culture Picks, and Free2Play Picks have different geographic footprints. The platform also partners with various software providers listed in our brand data, including Real Time Gaming, Spinomenal, Rival Gaming, Bovada Gaming, Dragon Gaming, Genesis Gaming, Makitone Gaming, Qora, Revolver Gaming, Top Trend Gaming (TTG), and Woohoo Games. Provider availability can affect which content is shown in your region.
Where is PrizePicks legal and how is it licensed?
PrizePicks operates wherever daily fantasy contests are authorized under local law. Different game types are available in different U.S. states and Canada provinces; for example, Player Picks are available in many states, while Team Picks and Culture Picks are available in subsets of jurisdictions. Age limits vary by state (commonly 18+, with some states requiring 19+ or 21+). PrizePicks follows applicable regulations and may restrict features based on local restrictions. If you’re unsure about eligibility in your area, check the availability information inside the app or contact support to confirm.
What information is required for verification (KYC)?
To comply with legal and security requirements, PrizePicks may ask for verification documents before allowing withdrawals or certain account actions. Typical requests include a government-issued photo ID, a selfie for identity confirmation, and proof of address (utility bill or bank statement). Verification speeds vary; submitting clear, current documents speeds approval. If additional steps are required, support will provide instructions. Keep personal documents secure and only upload them via the official app or website.
What should I do if I experience technical issues?
If you run into technical problems — login errors, transaction failures, or app crashes — try basic troubleshooting first: update the app, clear your browser cache, restart your device, and check your internet connection. If issues persist, contact PrizePicks support through live chat for quick help or email support@prizepicks.com with a detailed description, screenshots, and your account email.
