Bet Club is a game of skill where Participants place bets on the outcomes of NFL games using a virtual currency. Does not involve real money betting. Bets are placed on real-time lines and odds sourced from sportsbooks via Sportradar. The object of the game is to amass the largest token balance. The Participant with the largest token balance at the end of each contest season (as further defined below) is deemed the winner.
To enter the Contest, Participants must complete both of the following entry methods:
Register a profile on the Gaming Society website
State of Residence
Nickname
Select "Join" on the Bet Club landing page
Note: the order of the above mentioned may change subject to where the user first interacts with the website or product.
Upon joining a Bet Club contest, each Participant is distributed (100) tokens. The tokens are used to place bets.
Using tokens, the Participant may place a wager (up to a maximum of 20 tokens at once) on any of the lines or odds offered within Bet Club. The payout for any wager placed is determined by the odds for that particular bet. Before confirming any wager, the Participant will be able to see how the odds affect their potential payout.
Participants may earn tokens in two ways:
By placing a winning token wager on any of the Open Bets offered within Bet Club.
By placing and winning a ‘free’ (no tokens wagered) bet on the ‘Bonus Bet’.
Bonus Bet: The Bonus Bet is a multiple choice question authored by Gaming Society. Participants picking or predicting the correct answer will be awarded the token amount displayed on the bet.
The Participant with the highest score on the leaderboard at the end of the each Season of the Contest will be deemed the winner and will be awarded the Grand Prize. Should the Contest end in a tie for First Place, a tiebreak will be determined as follows:
If Leaderboard tied (token balances are same): Between the tied Participants, the Participant with the highest total of winning wagers placed during the Contest will be declared the winner.
If Total of Winning Wagers Is the Same: Between the tied Participants, the Participant with the higher winning rate (% of total wagers placed during the Contest that won) will be declared the winner.
Each Season of Bet Club runs for a period of time determined at the beginning of each Season. The Period between Start Date and End Date shall be known as a “Season” in the Contest Period. The current Season starts on January 24, 2023 and ends on February 12, 2023 or the conclusion of the final game started on February 12, 2023, whichever is later. Gaming Society reserves the right to adjust Season’s at Gaming Society’s own discretion.
