Overview
Sleeper Picks Competitions are limited-time leaderboard events where users compete to earn the highest total net profit from their Picks entries during the competition period. Top finishers on the leaderboard win prizes.
Open to all Picks — both Player Picks and Team Picks entries count toward your leaderboard total
Opt-in required — joining a Competition makes some of your profile information public on the leaderboard (see below)
How to join
Tap the Competition banner in the Picks lobby
Review the Competition-specific rules
Tap GOT IT to opt-in
Once you've opted in, net profit from your Picks entries during the Competition window will be tracked automatically.
You only need to opt-in once per Competition.
How the leaderboard works
The leaderboard ranks the top 100 users globally by net realized profit during the Competition window
Net realized profit = total realized payouts minus total entry costs for graded picks entries
made during the Competition window; and
graded 24 hours after Competition ends.
Entries made before the competition window or are graded more than 24 hours after the Competition ends do not count on the leaderboard.
Both graded Player Picks and Team Picks entries count toward your total realized payouts
The leaderboard updates daily — your rank may not reflect Picks graded in the last few hours
Net profit is only displayed publicly for the top 100 ranked users
If you're outside the top 100, your profit is not shown on the leaderboard
Net profit is for graded Player Picks and Team Picks entries
Prizes
Top finishers on the leaderboard can win Player Picks playthrough credits or cash prizes.
Competition details shown in-app include:
Prize amounts
Prize type, i.e. Player Picks playthrough credits or withdrawable credit (cash prizes)
Payout structure
How ties work
If two or more users tie for a paid leaderboard prize rank:
The prizes for those prize ranks are combined
The total is split evenly among the tied users
The next prize shifts to the following rank
Example
Two users tie for 1st place
1st place prize: $1,000; 2nd place prize: $500
The combined $1,500 prize pool is split evenly
Both users receive $750
The next-ranked user receives the 3rd place prize
Prize delivery
After the Competition ends:
Winners are notified in-app
Prizes are credited to the winners’ Sleeper account balances
What becomes public when you join
By joining a Competition, you agree to make the following information public:
Your Sleeper username
Your net realized profit during the Competition window — only if you finish in the top 100 globally
This information is visible to anyone viewing the Competition leaderboard.
Direct messages (DMs) from other users
Reject any DM request — the sender cannot send follow-up messages
Block users who you've accepted requests from at any time
Why is opt-in required?
Showing your profit and Picks activity publicly is something we want you to choose — not something we do by default. That's why Competitions are opt-in only.
Eligibility
You must have a Sleeper account in good standing
You must be eligible to play Picks in your region
Sleeper reserves the right to disqualify users from a Competition or withhold prizes for fraud, manipulation, collusion, or any violation of Sleeper's Terms of Service
After a Competition ends
When a Competition ends:
The final leaderboard is locked and ranked by net realized profit at the close of the Competition window.
Top finishers are notified via push notification and prizes are credited to their account balance
The Competition view stays available for a short time after the Competition ends, so you can view the final results. Refer to the Competition information in-app to learn how long a Competition is running.
New Competitions are run periodically.
Check the Sleeper app for banners and notifications.
