FAQ
Quick explanations of Waged War’s pick’em contests. The Terms of Use govern your use of Waged War, and the Official Contest Rules explain gameplay. This FAQ does not establish separate substantive rules.
How do I play?
Choose athletes and predict whether their listed statistics will finish more or less than the projections. Review your entry format and payout before confirming. See how entries work.
Where can I play?
Your physical location and the Terms’ other eligibility requirements matter. See the eligibility section and state list.
What do Easy, Rocket, Promo and Protected mean?
Easy and Rocket describe selection difficulty; Promo identifies a special selection. Protected is an entry payout format, and promotional funds are an account balance. They have different restrictions. See formats and payouts and promotional funds.
How much can an entry pay?
Review the payout displayed for your entry. The base tables are only starting points, and Protected can return less than your entry amount. See payout tables and adjustments.
Can I change my picks after submitting?
See customer cancellation rules for the cancellation window and conditions. If a cancellation is accepted and refunded, you can submit a new entry with different picks.
Where are my results?
Check My Account. If a result is missing or seems incorrect, contact support with the entry details. See scoring and data.
What happens if my athlete does not play?
A qualifying DNP can remove a selection and change the entry’s payout or refund treatment. Nonparticipation is not automatically a DNP; the foreseeable-nonparticipation exception matters. See DNP and participation rules.
Is there injury protection?
A qualifying early injury may receive case-by-case review; protection is not automatic. See the injury eligibility and participation rules, and contact support with the player and game details.
What if a statistic lands exactly on the projection?
That is a push. The remaining selections determine the result, and the small-entry exceptions matter. See pushes and ties.
What is playthrough?
It is the eligible participation required before funds can be withdrawn. Promotional entries and cash entries are treated differently. See deposits, withdrawals and playthrough.
How do I withdraw?
Request a withdrawal through My Account, using an available method that matches your verified name. Review eligibility, timing and payment conditions.
How do I use promotional funds, and when do they expire?
They are non-withdrawable credits for eligible entries. Check the offer and the funding, minimum-selection and expiration rules.
Why is an entry restricted or its payout different?
Entry composition, difficulty, promotional requirements and validation can affect the offer. Review the displayed message and the entry-limit rules and same-game restrictions. Contact support for clarification.
How do I raise a concern or ask about taxes?
See support and disputes for contact details and the governing Terms. That section also links to tax information and account statements.
