- Are SportGame's contests legal?
- Can a player enter more than one play ticket
in each contest?
- Can a player enter more than one contest at a
time?
- Can a player say, "Hey, these aren't the
teams I picked. Someone entered my picks wrong !?"
- Do I have to worry about players missing contest
deadlines?
- How do we get the players' picks to SportGame?
- When do I get my contest results?
- What happens if the equipment becomes inoperative ?
Yes, If the players do not pay to enter and there is no purchase necessary to
get a game ticket or to play any game. If no consideration is required of the
player, it is not gambling. The SportGame contract specifically states the
location cannot charge their guests to play SportGame
That option is yours. You may allow players to play one ticket per day or
restrict the players to one entry per week. Our software is
programmed for either choice. As the cost per play ticket is less than 3 cents, most
locations encourage the players to play daily. All player entries are
time stamped and the receipt your staff member returns to the player has a time
stamp on it.
Yes. Sometimes we have four or five contests running at the same time.
Each contest has a unique game number, SportGame's computer system handles all the
sorting. When you receive your contest results from us, each contest is scored
separately.
They can say it, but it won't work. One of SportGame's strongest points is
the player marks his own picks and signs the ticket. You don't. You can't be blamed for a mistake
because the player does the work. Each time a player ticket is entered, a
receipt is printed with the player's ID number, the game number, all the picks,
the tiebreaker, exact date and time of ticket entry, and an advertising message
you write. Nothing is left to chance.
No. A contest deadline could be the actual start of the event. Every
player's lineup sheet has a printed contest deadline and every player entry
receipt is time stamped. SportGame does not expect your employees to be clock
watchers. If a play ticket is entered after a contest deadline, it will not be
scored by SportGame's computer.

Plugged into the USB port of the computer is a Stick Drive. Remove the
Stick Drive and plug it into a computer with internet capabilities. Follow the
instructions on the screen. When finished, (this takes all of one minute)
return the Stick Drive to the computer.
If a sports event is contested on a Sunday, you will have your players'
results Monday. We send weekly, monthly and contest cumulative scoring; it's all done for you by us. You tell us how you want us to score your contest
(Do you want to award a prize for the worst score?) and we will do it.
SportGame will have a technician at your location as soon as possible or
SportGame will
deliver a new unit to you overnight. We also have an emergency backup procedure
if the unit becomes inoperative just minutes before a deadline. You will never
be at risk. SportGame has never lost a player entry because of equipment
failure.
