These Terms supplement Jackpot’s general Terms and Conditions available at Jackpot.com Terms and Conditions, and are incorporated therein by reference. By participating in any Skill Contest, you agree to these Terms, the Terms and Conditions, and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you should not participate in Skill Contests.

  1. (a) are at least eighteen (18) years of age (or older if required by applicable law); and
  2. (b) are physically located in a jurisdiction where Skill Contests are permitted and offered by Jackpot (“Authorized Jurisdiction”).

Participation is void where prohibited by law.

Jackpot may enable, restrict, suspend, or discontinue Skill Contests in any jurisdiction at any time for legal, regulatory, operational, compliance, responsible gaming, payment processing, fraud prevention, or risk management reasons.

Jackpot has no obligation to offer Skill Contests in any particular jurisdiction, and access to Skill Contests may change without notice.


4. Nature of Skill Contests

Skill Contests are intended to be games of skill and not games of chance.

By participating in a Skill Contest, you acknowledge and agree that:

  1. (a) outcomes are determined predominantly by the relative skill and performance of participants;
  2. (b) Skill Contests are not lottery games, wagers, or bets;
  3. (b) Skill Contests are not lottery games, wagers, or bets;

  5. (d) Skill Contests are separate from Jackpot’s lottery courier services; and
  6. (e) Jackpot makes no representation that Skill Contests are lawful in every jurisdiction.

5. Contest Structure

Each Skill Contest entry consists of:

  1. (a) a contest entry amount that contributes to the applicable prize pool (“Base Wager”); and
  2. (b) a service fee retained by Jackpot (“Rake”).

The applicable amounts will be displayed to you before entry into a Skill Contest.

Skill Contests may include peer-to-peer matchups against:

  • • other Jackpot users; and/or
  • • users of third-party platforms participating in a shared contest network.

You acknowledge that users participating in a Skill Contest may not be users of Jackpot.

Jackpot may utilize third-party technology providers to facilitate gameplay, scoring, matchmaking, contest administration, and related functionality. Contest results may be determined based on automated gameplay data generated by such systems. Subject to Jackpot’s fraud, compliance, integrity, and regulatory review rights, gameplay data and contest determinations generated by such systems shall generally be considered final and binding.

Jackpot is solely responsible for maintaining user accounts, processing deposits and withdrawals, administering user balances, and facilitating prize payments to users on the Platform. Third-party technology providers do not hold, control, or maintain custody of user funds.


6. Prize Awards and Payments

Prize winners are determined based on the applicable rules and scoring criteria for each Skill Contest.

Prize payouts may be delayed pending:

  • • fraud review;
  • • identity verification;
  • • geolocation verification;
  • • technical review;
  • • gameplay review; or
  • • compliance review.

Jackpot reserves the right to void contest results, adjust outcomes, withhold winnings, cancel Skill Contests, or take any other action necessary to preserve contest integrity, correct errors, prevent fraud, or comply with applicable law.


7. Refunds and Connectivity

Refunds may be issued in Jackpot’s sole discretion in circumstances including:

Prize payouts may be delayed pending:

  • • cancelled contests;
  • • technical failures;
  • • system malfunctions;
  • • integrity-related issues; or
  • • other extraordinary circumstances identified by Jackpot.

Except as expressly stated herein, all Skill Contest entries are final.

Users are responsible for maintaining a stable internet connection, compatible device, and functional software environment while participating in Skill Contests. User-side connectivity issues, device failures, interruptions, latency, crashes, or failure to complete gameplay may result in a forfeited entry or loss, except where Jackpot determines, in its sole discretion, that a system-wide technical malfunction materially affected contest integrity.


8. Fair Play and Prohibited Conduct

You may not:

  • • use bots, scripts, automation software, artificial intelligence tools, unauthorized hardware, or other prohibited assistance;
  • • engage in collusion, coordinated play, cheating, or fraudulent conduct;

Users may not submit, display, or transmit any content that is unlawful, abusive, harassing, defamatory, obscene, infringing, deceptive, or otherwise objectionable, including usernames, profile information, chat content, or other user-generated content.

Jackpot reserves the right to remove, restrict, or moderate any user-generated content and to suspend accounts associated with prohibited conduct.

Jackpot does not guarantee that Skill Contests or related services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or continuously available.


11. Responsible Play

Jackpot is committed to responsible play and may implement limits, restrictions, cool-off periods, self-exclusion tools, gameplay limits, or other responsible gaming measures in connection with Skill Contests.

Jackpot reserves the right to suspend or restrict participation where we determine such action is appropriate for responsible gaming, compliance, fraud prevention, consumer protection, or operational integrity purposes.
