What are Promo Credits?

How promo credits work from October 15, 2026: opting in, claiming on your entry slip, winnings, expiry, and what happens to bonus cash.

Last updated: October 12, 2026

Starting October 15, 2026, Payday rewards come as Promo Offers and Promo Credits. Promo Offers are what you opt in to (Deposit Match, Protected Play, Payout Boost, Free Entry). Promo Credits are what you play with: welcome credits, deposit matches, referrals, Marketplace commissions and Protected Play refunds all arrive as promo credits.

1 promo credit covers $1 of an entry fee. Promo credits have no cash value.

Where to find them

From October 15, your promo credits live in the Promos tab. The Bonus Wallet and the Bonus Cash button are being retired.

How promos work: 2 steps

Step 1: Opt in. Open the Promos tab and opt in to the promotion and its terms on the offer card. The terms are under More info. You need a verified, active account to opt in. Each offer shows a use-by date. Some offers may use a code.

Step 2: Claim it on your entry. When you build an entry, open the promo dropdown on your entry slip and select the promo. It's applied when you submit.

  • Promos work on MAX entries only, not FLEX.

  • The slip defaults to cash, so select your promo before you submit.

  • One promo per entry. An entry is paid with promo credits or with cash, not both. When you use credits, the ones closest to expiring are used first.

No minimum multiplier

The old 1.75x rule doesn't apply to promo credits. Entries with 2 picks are capped at a 10x payout. Entries with 3 or more picks have no promo cap, though league and entry rules, entry amount limits, the normal maximum payout and your account's max-win limit still apply.

Winnings

If an entry made with promo credits wins, the payout minus the credits used goes to your Main Wallet as cash. There's no extra play-through on those winnings, but you can withdraw them only once the qualifying play-through on your deposit is met (see the Play-Through Policy).

Example: a 10-credit entry that pays 30 adds 20 to your Main Wallet.

If the entry is voided or cancelled, your promo credits come back with their original expiry. If that expiry passed while the entry was pending, you get 48 hours from the refund to use them.

Expiry

Each grant of promo credits shows its expiry date and time. Unless the grant says otherwise, they expire 7 days after they're issued, and they never last longer than 30 days. Expired credits can't be reissued.

Rules

  • Promo credits can't be withdrawn, transferred, or exchanged for cash.

  • Promo credits can't be used on Marketplace copies, fades or remixes, on Survivor or Decks, or together with a boosted pick or another promo.

  • Deposits keep their 1x qualifying play-through. Promo credits don't add to it.

  • Each offer card has a More info section with its rules and a link to the full Terms.

Your bonus cash

Bonus cash you already hold keeps working under its current rules until January 15, 2027, then any unused bonus cash expires. If you hold both, you choose which to use.

Promo types

  • Promo Credits: entry credits for a MAX entry.

  • Payout Boost: boosts the payout on your whole entry.

  • Protected Play: promo credits back if a qualifying cash entry loses.

  • Free Entry: an entry on us that pays winnings minus the entry.

Daily Drops still boost individual picks, as they do today.
