Straight talk

Why this is legal

GrizIronPicks looks like a sportsbook and plays like a game. The difference matters — and it comes down to a few simple rules we never break.

No money ever changes hands to play

Entry is 100% free for everyone, always. There is no way to deposit, pay, wager, or stake a single dollar on GrizIronPicks. Because nobody risks anything of value to play, this is not gambling — it's a free contest.

Coins are worth nothing

Coins are earned by playing and can never be bought, sold, traded, transferred, or cashed out. They have no monetary value whatsoever — they're just a score. There is no way to turn coins into money inside the app.

The $500 prize is a free-entry contest

The season prize is awarded to the player holding the most coins when the season ends. No purchase is necessary to enter or to win — everyone plays on equal footing with free coins. Free-entry contests of skill like this are lawful promotions, not betting.

Under 18? A parent or guardian claims the prize

If the season winner is under 18, the prize is awarded to their parent or legal guardian. That's the standard, lawful way to run a prize for younger players.

The fine print

No purchase necessary. Buying nothing gets you the same shot at the prize as everyone else — there is literally nothing to buy.
Free entry, always. Every coin in every wallet was earned by playing or from the free daily drop.
One winner, settled fairly. The biggest wallet at season's end takes the $500 prize. If wallets finish tied, the tie goes to the player with more winning slips.
Just for fun. GrizIronPicks is a fan game. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to California High School or its athletic department.
Void where prohibited. If a prize like this isn't allowed where a winner lives, we'll work with their parent or guardian to make it right.
