All gameplay on Payday Fantasy is based on skill. Winning outcomes are determined by your ability to make accurate predictions, apply strategy, and interpret data. This includes, but is not limited to, real-world athletic performance, fantasy statistics, and other game formats designed around skill-based mechanics. Our offerings emphasize skill is the predominant factor in determining outcomes.
5.2 Entry Fees & Payments
To participate in gameplay, users must submit an entry fee in U.S. dollars using a supported and valid payment method. Your entry is not considered accepted or active until the payment is successfully processed and confirmed.
By submitting payment, you agree to the terms of the entry, including any applicable payout rules and scoring systems. We reserve the right to reject or void any entries where payment is declined, reversed, or disputed. All entry fees and deposits are final and non-refundable, except where explicitly stated in a specific promotion or confirmed platform error.
To fully activate your account and engage in real-money gameplay, you must complete a successful deposit where funds are received by Payday Fantasy. If a deposit is not completed or fails to process, all associated actions—including entries, wagers, or other gameplay—will be voided until verification is complete.

The user’s deposit fails to process,
Funds are not received within the required timeframe, or
Verification requirements are not met.
All users must comply with identity and payment verification processes.

5.3 Prize Distribution
Prizes are distributed only after all relevant entries have been fully graded and officially marked as final. This grading process includes the verification of official statistics, execution of scoring logic, and internal integrity checks to ensure fair and accurate results. If there is a delay due to pending data, technical complications, or the need for additional review, prize payouts will be processed as soon as the grading and settlement procedures are complete. No prizes will be paid out until all impacted entries are resolved. Payday reserves the right to withhold or void prize payouts in cases involving suspected fraud, gameplay violations, scoring anomalies, or unresolved disputes.
5.4 Statistical Projection and Odds Discrepancy Clause
Payday Fantasy strives to provide accurate and timely statistical projections and odds. However, in the event of a material discrepancy between the projections or odds displayed on our platform and those available in the broader market at the time an entry was placed, Payday Fantasy reserves the right to void any affected entries. This includes discrepancies resulting from single or multiple data errors, regardless of whether the entry was placed before, during, or after the start of the event.
This policy applies uniformly to all users and will be enforced regardless of whether the discrepancy favored or disadvantaged any specific participant. Although we aim to notify affected users as promptly as possible, instant notice is not guaranteed, and users acknowledge that Payday Fantasy is not obligated to provide real-time alerts in such cases.Payday Fantasy reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to void or adjust picks in the following scenarios:
Mispriced lines, including:
Projections intended for a specific period of play (e.g., full-game, half, or quarter) that were incorrectly listed;
Pricing that is clearly inconsistent with prevailing market odds;
Player eligibility issues, including but not limited to:
Suspensions or disciplinary action;
Injury or illness affecting participation;
Unforeseen ineligibility due to weather, coach decisions, or event cancellations;
A projected play period not being completed (e.g., early exits or shortened games).
Picks may be voided at any time—before, during, or after the event—if any of the above conditions are met. In cases involving board errors, such as invalid match data, incorrect player listings, or odds malfunctions, Payday Fantasy retains full authority to correct, amend, or void any associated picks or entries. All decisions made by Payday Fantasy regarding board errors, pricing discrepancies, or disputed entries are final and binding. Users attempting to exploit errors, suspended plays, or incomplete data to gain an unfair advantage may be subject to account review, suspension, or permanent ban.
5.5 Mistakenly Credited Funds
If funds are mistakenly credited to your account due to a technical malfunction, administrative error, or any other issue, you are required to notify Payday Fantasy immediately upon becoming aware of the error. Failure to report such incidents in a timely manner may result in account suspension, restriction, or termination.
Any funds erroneously credited to your account do not constitute winnings, bonuses, or promotional value. These funds are prohibited from being used for gameplay, withdrawn, or transferred. Any wagers placed using mistakenly credited funds will be voided, and any resulting winnings will be forfeited. Payday Fantasy reserves the right to recover mistakenly credited funds from your account without prior notice. This may include:
Deducting the amount from your current balance;
Withholding future payouts or withdrawals; or
Requesting repayment via alternative means if your account lacks sufficient funds.
You agree to cooperate with all reasonable efforts by Payday Fantasy to recover erroneously credited amounts, including providing requested documentation or authorizations where necessary.
5.5 Bonus & Promotion Terms
Promotional bonuses are limited to one per account, household, or device unless explicitly stated otherwise. Each bonus or promotion is subject to its own terms and conditions, which will be made available at the time of the offer. These terms may include eligibility requirements, expiration dates, usage restrictions, and specific rollover or play-through obligations before withdrawal is permitted. Abuse or misuse of promotional offers may result in forfeiture of bonuses, associated winnings, and possible account suspension or termination.
6. Financial Terms
6.1 Deposits & Fraud Checks
All deposits must be made in U.S. dollars using an approved payment method. Every transaction is subject to real-time fraud screening and risk assessment. In some cases, deposits may be temporarily held or reversed pending review. Suspicious or unusual account activity may result in suspension of funds and/or further identity verification requirements.
6.2 Withdrawals & Verification
Withdrawals are only available to verified users and may require additional documentation to confirm identity and prevent fraud. Withdrawal limits may apply based on payment method, user history, and compliance review. We reserve the right to delay or deny withdrawals in cases of suspected fraud, bonus abuse, Terms violations, or pending chargebacks.
6.3 Chargeback Policy
Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute without first contacting Payday support will result in immediate account suspension, investigation, and potential forfeiture of any funds in your account. Repeated or abusive chargeback behavior will result in permanent account termination. Payday reserves the right to recover these amounts using collection agencies, reporting delinquent accounts to credit bureaus, or pursuing legal remedies where necessary. Users are encouraged to resolve all disputes through our support team before contacting their payment provider.
7. Responsible Gaming
7.1 Self-Exclusion Tools
We offer self-exclusion options that allow you to voluntarily suspend your account for a defined period or permanently. During an active exclusion period, you will not be able to access gameplay, deposit funds, or make withdrawals. Requests for reactivation must be submitted in writing and may be subject to a cooling-off period or additional review.
7.2 Deposit Limits
You may request daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to manage your spending and support healthy gaming habits. Requests can be made by contacting our support team.

Additionally, we may impose mandatory deposit limits globally or on an individual basis based on internal risk assessments, observed user behavior, or regulatory obligations. Users are responsible for complying with any deposit caps imposed on their account.
7.3 Problem Gaming Resources
At Payday Fantasy, we are committed to protecting our users by promoting responsible gaming and ensuring everyone can play within their financial means. Our systems are designed to support healthy behavior, and we encourage all players to set personal limits and recognize when to take breaks.
If you feel you're spending too much time or money on Payday, you can request to self-limit or self-exclude. Self-limiting allows continued access to the platform within predefined spending boundaries, while self-exclusion temporarily or permanently restricts access to gameplay. All requests can be made by contacting our Responsible Gaming team at [email protected].
Third parties may also request restrictions on a user’s account due to financial or legal responsibility. To do so, documentation will be required to prove shared financial responsibility, legal dependency, or court-ordered obligations. Payday may request further identity verification to validate the relationship.
