This list may be updated as laws change. Participation from a restricted jurisdiction is a violation of these Rules and may result in immediate disqualification, account termination, and forfeiture of any prize.

4. Contest Periods

Each contest has a designated entry window and match completion deadline. Contest periods vary and are displayed within the Platform at the time of entry. Daily Gaming reserves the right to extend, shorten, or cancel any contest period at its sole discretion with notice to affected participants where practicable.

5. How to Enter

Users may enter a contest by selecting an available contest in the Platform lobby and paying the designated entry fee from their Platform wallet. Entry fees are displayed at the time of entry. The 10% platform service fee is deducted from the prize pool as described in Section 7.

6. Contest Types

Head-to-Head Matches

Two players compete directly against each other in a single game of the specified video game title. The player with the higher final score wins the match. In the event of a tie, rules specific to the game title apply as described in Section 9.

Tournament Contests

Multiple players compete in a single-elimination bracket format. Players advance through rounds by winning their individual matches. The last player remaining in the bracket wins the tournament. Byes may be assigned in tournaments where the number of entrants is not a power of two; bye assignments are made randomly or by seeding as specified at the time of the tournament.

7. Entry Fees and Prize Structure

Entry fees and prize structures for each contest are displayed within the Platform before entry. Daily Gaming charges a 10% platform service fee on the gross prize pool of each contest.

Contest TypeGross Prize PoolPlatform Fee (10%)Net Prize to Winner
$1 Head-to-Head$2.00$0.20$1.80
$5 Head-to-Head$10.00$1.00$9.00

Tournament prize pools are calculated as the sum of all entry fees collected, less the 10% platform fee. Prize distribution in multi-place tournaments (where applicable) will be disclosed in the tournament details prior to entry.

Entry fees are non-refundable once a contest has started. If a contest is cancelled by Daily Gaming before it starts, entry fees will be refunded to the user's Platform wallet.

10. Result Submission

The winning player must submit proof of the match result within the time window specified for each contest type. Proof consists of a clear, unaltered photograph of the final score screen as displayed by the game.

Submitting falsified, altered, or fraudulent proof of results is a violation of these Rules and may result in permanent account termination and forfeiture of all funds.

11. Determining the Winner

Winners are determined exclusively by the final gameplay results as verified through the result submission process. Daily Gaming may use automated verification, manual review, or both to confirm results. Daily Gaming's determination of the winner is final and binding.

Skill is the predominant factor in determining contest outcomes. No element of chance determines a winner. Contestants with greater skill in the applicable video game will, over time, achieve superior results.

Winnings of $600 or more in a calendar year may be reported to the IRS and may require the winner to provide a valid Social Security Number or Tax Identification Number. Failure to provide required tax information may result in mandatory federal backup withholding and/or suspension of withdrawal privileges.

14. Disputes Between Players

If a player believes the opposing player violated these Rules during a match, they must submit a dispute through the Platform within the time window specified for that contest.
