1 PAID-ENTRY CONTESTS OF SKILL
1.1 The Services include paid-entry contests of skill where you may win cash prizes (“Contests”). Contests are games of skill and are not games of chance. Winners are determined by the individuals who use their skill and knowledge of relevant sports information and fantasy sports rules.
1.2 Contest results and prize calculations are based on the final statistics at the completion of the last applicable sporting event of each individual Contest. Once Contest results are reviewed and graded, prizes may be awarded.
1.3 We encourage you to read the official rules that govern each of our Contests, as they form and are a part of these Terms. In the event of any ambiguity between these Terms and the official rules, the official rules shall take precedence.
1.4 Please consult our Responsible Play page for information on self-exclusion, limits on play, help with addictive behavior, and other related items.
1.5 By depositing funds or entering a Contest, you agree to provide us (and our relevant third-party vendors) with certain personal information, including but not limited to a valid mailing address, date of birth, social security number, and any other information we or they may require in order to perform appropriate identity checks and comply with applicable rules and regulations. If we are unable to verify your identity to our satisfaction, we reserve the right to suspend your account and withhold any funds until such time as we are able to successfully verify your identity.

· You are a citizen or resident of the United States of America or Canada and have an address in the United States of America or Canada;

If Sleeper, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that you do not meet the eligibility requirements listed above, then you are not authorized to enter Contests. Sleeper may require that you provide proof of eligibility according to these Terms prior to entering a Contest, receiving a prize, making a deposit, and/or withdrawing funds. This includes by requiring an affidavit of eligibility or other verification information.
1.7 If you are located in an Excluded State, you are still eligible to open an account and engage in certain other Services and/or activities offered by Sleeper.
1.8 Sleeper employees shall be eligible to enter private, employee-only contests where no member of the public has also entered, to the extent allowed by applicable law. These are not considered Contests under these Terms.

Additional Terms
1.10 Your deposits and winnings after Contests are completed are held in a separate, segregated bank account (the ”Segregated Account”) held by Sleeper Wallet, LLC, a legally separate and independent subsidiary of Blitz Studios, Inc. Withdrawals which will be made from this Segregated Account, and checks issued from the Segregated Account, may bear the name Sleeper Wallet, LLC. Vendors, users, and creditors shall be made aware that the funds in the Segregated Account are the property of Sleeper Wallet, LLC and do not belong to Blitz Studios, Inc., and are not available to creditors of Blitz Studios, Inc., except for users whose funds are held in such account. Blitz Studios, Inc. and Sleeper Wallet, LLC are prohibited from commingling funds held by Blitz Studios, Inc. and funds belonging to Sleeper Wallet, LLC held in the Segregated Account.
1.11 We will take appropriate steps to prevent unauthorized withdrawals from consumer accounts. Users are subject to an automated Know Your Customer (“KYC”) verification process provided whenever a user attempts to withdraw funds. This process asks a series of multiple-choice questions about the person's life, which may include but not be limited to known relatives, previous addresses, and requiring the entrance of the last 4 digits of their Tax ID or Social Security Number. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of a customer, we can and do require our users to produce a copy of their driver's license, credit cards, utility bills and/or passport for identity verification. If a user cannot validate their identity and account, we will withhold winnings, return remaining deposits to their original source, and block future activity.
1.12 Users who believe that funds held in Sleeper Wallet accounts with us have been misallocated, compromised or otherwise mishandled may do so by e-mailing [email protected].
1.13 A player can request to withdraw funds from their Sleeper Wallet account at any time and such requests will be honored in accordance with applicable law. Requests for withdrawal ay be delayed and/or denied in any instance where suspicious activity is detected. A request for withdrawal will be considered honored if it is processed by us but delayed by a payment processor, credit card issuer, or by the custodian of a financial account.
1.14 Sleeper may limit the amount a user can deposit for use in Contests, including in accordance with state-imposed deposit limits. Sleeper reserves the right to impose an inactive account fee with advance notice through an update to these Terms or other communication to you. Upon request, you agree to complete an affidavit of eligibility, a liability/publicity release (unless prohibited by law), appropriate tax forms and provide forms of identification, and/or information relating to payment/deposit accounts as reasonably requested to complete verification (and prior to any withdrawal). We reserve the right to notify appropriate governmental authorities if we determine, in our sole and absolute discretion, that such use may be a violation of law or is otherwise irregular, regardless of Sleeper returning any prize monies.
1.15 We limit access to the Contests in the Excluded States. If you attempt to participate in any Contest while located in an Excluded State, you will be in violation of the law of such Excluded State and these Terms, in which case we may take any action which we deem necessary. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you will hold us harmless from and against any damages you suffer arising out of or related to any remedial action exercised against you, including but not limited to restriction or prohibition of your participation in the Contests.
1.16 When you complete the entry process to participate in a Contest, the amount of the entry fee for the applicable Contest that is listed or posted will be debited from your Sleeper Wallet account. Please click the following link for more information on Deposits and Withdrawals.
1.17 In the event of a disqualification or cancellation for any reason, Sleeper reserves the right to issue refunds or exchanges, in our sole and absolute discretion, without any restrictions as to the amount, timing, and/or method of delivery. We will endeavor to provide notification of such disqualifications or cancellations but are under no obligation to do so. Refunds, if issued, will be made available to you via your registered account. In select cases in which you submit requests for cancellation regarding your Contest entry fees prior to the start of the respective sporting events, but after the close of any offered cancellation window, Sleeper may choose to honor such requests, but is under absolutely no obligation to do so. Moreover, we reserve the right to deny any requests to cancel any and all forms of user-submitted payments, including entry fees, without limitation, in our sole and absolute discretion.
1.18 We reserve the right to move you and others from a Contest you have entered into a substantially similar Contest in our sole and absolute discretion. We reserve the right to deny you and others the ability to participate in any Contest for any reason and to cancel Contests at any time. In the event of a cancellation, entry fees will be refunded to you except as otherwise provided for in these Terms. You understand and agree that Sleeper reserves the right to adjust play and wallet limits, including but not limited to entry fee limits and payout multipliers, on an individual account basis and may do so for any reason.
1.19 Sleeper endeavors to ensure the accuracy and integrity of all Contests, player projections, and related gameplay data offered on its platform. However, on occasion, mechanical, technical, or human errors may occur. In such instances, Sleeper reserves the right to identify and address what it deems to be an obvious error.
An “obvious error” in this context means a mistake in a Contest offering, projection, and/or entry condition that a reasonable person would recognize as incorrect under the circumstances at the time of Contest entry. If an obvious error is identified, Sleeper may, in its sole discretion, take appropriate corrective measures. Such measures may include, but are not limited to: voiding impacted selections and/or entries, adjusting projections and/or scoring, and/or otherwise amending Contest conditions and/or results to reflect accurate and fair gameplay. Some examples of obvious errors include, but are not limited to:
· Entries submitted or Contests offered after a game or player outcome has commenced or been determined;
· Contests listing inaccurate player data, such as players not participating, or misidentified team assignments, positions, and/or statuses;
· Entries based on player designations that are materially incorrect (e.g. listing a player as active when they are inactive);
· Player projections or Contest parameters that are materially inconsistent with prevailing market standards at the time of entry;
· Statistical projections based on outdated or incorrect data inputs (e.g. a player shown with zero activity after the game has started); and/or
· Projections or fantasy point multipliers that are clearly erroneous relative to the expected outcome or market norms, excluding clearly designated promotional offers or enhanced multipliers.
Sleeper retains sole and final discretion in determining whether an obvious error has occurred and in implementing any remedial actions. You agree to notify us if you become aware of any errors or irregularities with respect to Contests and/or prize awards on your account and to cooperate with our efforts to reverse payments in the event of any errors.
1.20 We reserve the right to, without notice: i) terminate, suspend, and/or restrict access to your account; ii) withhold and/or revoke the awarding of prizes; iii) withhold or revoke the awarding of promotional funds/play-through credit; iv) claw-back unwarranted gains; and/or v) invalidate, forfeit, and/or deduct amounts from your Sleeper Wallet, should we determined in our sole and absolute discretion, that:
· You engage in conduct that is improper, unfair, fraudulent, or otherwise adverse to the operation of the Services or detrimental to other users or you otherwise are not in compliance with these Terms;
· Engage in illegal play of any kind;
· Falsify any personal information required to create an account, enter a Contest, and/or claim a prize;

· There is a “chargeback” on one or more deposit(s) or with respect to any unused or abused bonuses or credits that were rewarded;
· You are depositing funds without the primary intention of using them in Contests;
· You exploit or manipulate a promotion, offer, or other mechanic set forth by us in order to improperly enrich yourself and/or someone else, or otherwise commit any form of bonus or promotion abuse;
· You, through any means, withdraw funds from your account that were labeled as "play-through" or otherwise had a play-through requirement, without in fact utilizing said funds though a contest; and/or
· We should do so in furtherance of fraud prevention or anti-money laundering efforts or for other legal purposes, such as (and by example only) if a relevant legal authority challenges the awarding of any prize(s).
1.21 When you receive a payment due to your participation in any Contest, you are liable to us for the full amount of the prize payment to you plus any fees if the payment is later invalidated or reversed for any reason. Should you violate any of the conditions set forth in these Terms, and such violation(s) result in your unjust enrichment, you hereby authorize us to process a charge to one of your stored methods of payment in order to allow Sleeper to recoup the amount of monies which were improperly obtained and/or withdrawn, if the balance in your Segregated Account does not cover the payment due plus any fees Sleeper may charge in its sole discretion.
1.22 Where applicable, Sleeper may pay out any withheld or revoked prizes to other entrants in the relevant Contest in a manner consistent with the prize structure of the Contest, as determined by Sleeper in its sole and absolute discretion.
1.23 Each year, all winners who have won six hundred dollars ($600.00) or more over the previous year must provide updated address and social security details to Sleeper so that we can comply with tax regulations. This information will be shared with relevant tax authorities. You, and not Sleeper, are responsible for filing and paying applicable local, state, federal, and international taxes on any winnings. We do not provide tax advice, nor should any statements in these Terms or on the Services be construed as tax advice. By agreeing to these Terms, you are consenting to electronic delivery of all informational tax forms such as Form 1099 and Form W-2G.
1.24 If you enter or become a winner of a Contest, you consent to the use of your name, voice, and likeness/photograph in the development, production, distribution, and/or exploitation of any Contest and/or other portions of the Services. You agree that from the date of notification of your status as a potential winner and continuing until such time when Sleeper informs you that you no longer need to do so, you will make yourself reasonably available to Sleeper for publicity, advertising, and promotion activities. You agree that Sleeper may announce any winner's name on-air or on any of its websites or any other location at any time in connection with the marketing and promotion of Sleeper. You further agree that participation in and (where applicable) the winning of a prize in connection with a Contest constitutes complete compensation for your obligations under this paragraph, and that you shall receive no additional consideration for the fulfillment of these obligations.
1.25 Sleeper uses third-party data providers to provide sports data for our Contests. All “live” statistics and other information provided through the Services and related information sources are unofficial. While Sleeper and the third-parties use reasonable efforts to include accurate and up-to-date information, Sleeper cannot and does not guarantee the accuracy of the data used.
1.26 We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to determine whether you are interacting with the Services in a responsible way in accordance with our responsible play policies and procedures. We shall permit you to set responsible play limits and to self-exclude. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to impose stricter responsible play limits than those imposed by you and to exclude you, if we deem it necessary.
1.27 From time to time, we may institute promotional programs as an incentive to use our Services, including but not limited to entering Contests. Such promotional programs may be governed by their own terms and conditions which will be presented at the time of such promotions.
1.28 Our promotional programs may include the delivery of play-through credit bonuses to users, meant to be used for additional Contest entries, based on certain criteria. Sleeper reserves the right to reclaim said bonuses if users do not use them to enter Contests within thirty (30) days (unless a longer or shorter time period is stated in promotion-specific terms as it relates to said delivery of play-through credit bonus, in which case, said time period applies) of their initial award and Sleeper may cancel user bonuses in the event the user violates these Terms and/or any terms and conditions applicable to the specific promotional program.
1.29 Users may gift or otherwise transfer certain promotional opportunities to other users. By using this gifting feature, you understand and agree that you are giving up any and all right to personally use and/or benefit from the promotion. You understand and agree that you shall not, in any way, transfer or gift a promotion to another user in exchange for any form of consideration. Any and all rules, terms, and/or conditions applicable at the time the promotion was transferred shall continue to apply after the promotion is transferred. In order to send or receive a promotion, users must have a verified Sleeper account and have passed our KYC program. Sleeper may, in its sole discretion, limit and/or otherwise restrict your ability to send and/or receive promotions with this tool.
