Win-Win is the first of it’s kind "gamified giving" platform where you compete to win epic experiences offered by today’s biggest sports and entertainment influencers, all while contributing to impactful charities and causes!

BACK TO TOP

Competitions come in the form of online game tournaments. Currently the standard tournament is a "Pick Em", but there are several other tournament types offered including March Madness Challenge. The tournaments are hosted by pro athletes and entertainers with the goal of raising money and awareness for the charitable causes they care about, while giving you an opportunity to compete for epic experiences. Rather than competing for money, Win-Win tournaments give you the unique opportunity to compete for much more… experiences money simple can’t buy!

Competitions are fun! Rather than joining a random low-probability raffle drawing, Win-Win lets you determine your own winning fate. Your outcome in a tournament is determined only by your entry - the picks and predictions you make about upcoming sports matchups. You earn points for the accuracy of your picks and your total accumulated points is what determines your position on the leaderboard, and thus your winning prize! Raffles are so 1999 🙄

BACK TO TOP

No! First place to last place on the leaderboard will win, guaranteed! Every tournament has a “prize list”, which shows the prizes you will win based on your final position on the leaderboard. You could win anything from dinner with your favorite NFL player, a football autographed by the entire team, limited edition Win-Win merchandise, or even $100 gift card from your favorite store. No matter how many people are in a tournament, everybody will win something! Check out some the past Win-Win Epic Experiences

Almost anyone can play! You must be 18 years of age or older and live in the United State of America. You will need to verify eligibility before receiving a prize. Prizes that require travel accommodations are limited to users living within the 48 states besides Hawaii and Alaska. Winners will receive a non-experience prize in exchange (ex: autographed item).

Nothing, nada, zip! Tournaments are 100% free to play. You are encouraged to make a charitable contribution to the partner charity associated with the tournament, but it is not required and does not increase your chances of winning a prize, at all. Although the donation is not required, it is GREATLY appreciated by the tournament host, the charitable organization, and our team here at Win-Win! Your donation makes this a true “win-win” experience, and we've included several tangible benefits when you do (see donation perks list). Thanks in advance for your support!

We currently offer tournaments hosted by NFL and NBA players and the game format is related to their respective sports (NBA host = you predict NBA matchups). Another tournament type is a Karma Competition and these are hosted by Win-Win and your entry into these tournaments are solely based on your charitable participation. See more about Karma Competitions on the Karma Coin page

Karma Coins are the virtual currency you earn on the Win-Win platform, which gets you access to a TON of amazing Win-Win perks. Every time you donate on the Win-Win platform, you will earn a certain number of Karma Coins based on your donation amount. See the Karma Coin page for all the details including a list of perks!

Visit trywinwin.com/tournaments to see a list of tournament cards. These tournament cards show three primary details: the name of the tournament, who’s hosting it, and the charitable cause being supported. Once you tap on a tournament card, you will see the tournament details across three different tabs: Prizes, Summary, and Charity. Once you’re ready, simply tap on “Get Started” and begin creating your entry into the tournament. Once you've made picks, click submit and you'll be taken to a confirmation page. Once you've reviewed your entry, simply click submit!

Most tournaments are about 2.5 weeks long, from open to close.

Key Definitions:

Open Date: when tournaments are available for entry and donation

Live Date: no more entries allowed and real life games have started

Close Date: scores and leaderboard finalized, prizes on the way!

Tournaments are usually “Open” for about 2 weeks. Tournaments go live when the real life matchups begin. The Tournament closes once the last matchup as ended.

BACK TO TOP

In the tournament list, you will often see tournament card with a red ribbon that says “Coming Soon”. These represent tournaments that will be launching soon and features who the tournament host is. Want to know when it’s open for entry? Simply tap the “save” button and it will be added to your “Followed” section. You will receive an email notification the moment the tournament is open! You must be signed in to Save a tournament.

Visit our Scoring Section for a full explanation :)

There are three (3) tie-break rules:

1.  if the tie is between people who have all donated to the tournament's charity, the person with the higher donation amount will win the tie-breaker
2.  if the tie is between someone who has donated and someone who has not donated, the person who donated will win the tie-breaker
3.  if the tie is between people who have not donated (remember, it's voluntary), the person who submitted their tournament entry first will win the tie breaker

If you are currently tied with someone on the leaderboard, you will automatically be ranked based on the above rules. For example, if during the live games you have a score of 125 and there are 4 other people with the same, at that moment, the five of you will be ordered on the live leaderboard based on the above rules.

Once you are signed into your account, you can easily access all of your tournament information by going to the “My Locker” Section from the bottom menu icons. There you will see five top-menu options: Alerts, Live, Upcoming, Followed, Completed. The "Live" tab shows you a snapshot of your ranking in each live tournament you've entered. The "Upcoming" tab shows you the tournaments you've entered that have not yet started. The "Followed" tab shows the 'coming soon' tournaments you've saved and will be notified once they go open for entry. The "Completed" tab shows a list of your past tournaments and the outcome.

Win-Win proudly offers two (2) levels of prizing, Basic and Elite. Regardless of the level, everybody who enters a tournament is guaranteed to win a prize.

Elite Level prizes are typically related to, and provided by, the tournament host and could include priceless experiences, valuable memorabilia, branded merchandise and much more. The Elite Level prizes are limited to winners who have unlocked Elite Status through their donation activity within the tournament they've entered.

Basic Level prizes include Win-Win merchandise, social media shoutouts, and virtual currency. These are the standard prizes provided to winners who are not eligible for Elite Level prizing within the tournament they've entered.

For more detailed information on our prize offering, visit the Tournament Prizes page.

It’s important to note that prizes vary from tournament to tournament and we are constantly improving our prize offerings!

If you have specific questions related to your prizing, please email Jamie from our prize team - jamie@trywinwin.com

BACK TO TOP

Elite Level prizes are limited to tournament entrants who have earned five (5) or more Karma Coins within the specific tournament before the Live Date (live games start). These Karma Coins are earned when making a voluntary donation on the tournament's donation page. The donation page can be accessed anytime from the "Charity Tab" within the tournament details section. One (1) Karma Coin = $5 Donation

BACK TO TOP

Every entry results in a tournament prize, guaranteed! The prizes you win for each entry will be determined by your leaderboard ranking and your prize level eligibility, Elite or Basic. For each entry to be eligible for prizes categorized as "Elite", you must unlock "Elite Level" prizing for each (earn 5 or more KC by donating at least $25). For each $25 increment of donation within that tournament, you unlock eligibility for an entry.

For example, if you have three (3) total entries in a tournament, and have donated $50 to that specific tournament's charitable cause, then you will have two (2) entries that are Elite Level and one (1) entry that is Basic Level. Your unlocked Elite eligibility starts with your lowest ranking entry and goes up. So in the above example, if you ranked #11, #29, and #43 in the tournament your Elite Level prizing would only be for ranking #43 and #29. Ranking #11 would be a Basic Level prize. If you would've donated $75 in the above example, then you unlock Elite Level prizes for all three entries

Tangible prizes (physical items) are usually shipped out 5-10 business days after a tournament ends. For Autographed and Memorabilia related prizes we ask our users to allow up to 14 business days for shipment, but we will work to get you the item much sooner! If you've donated $20 or more through a campaign, you're automatically added to the VIP Shipping list and your prize will be sent faster than others. See all donation perks here

BACK TO TOP

When viewing your completed tournaments, under the "Completed" tab, the tournament summary cards will show your (1) total points earned, (2) your final leaderboard ranking, and (3) the Elite Level prize for that leaderboard position. If you were eligible for Elite Level prizing in that tournament, you should've received that prize. Even if you were not eligible for Elite Level prizing, it will still show this prize in your tournament summary. The asterisk in the name of the prize is to remind you that it was an Elite Level prize. 

BACK TO TOP

You will typically be notified of your final score and corresponding ranking in the tournament within 1-2 hours of the tournament closing (live games ending). You will then receive an email from our prize team within 24-48 Hours notifying you of your prize and next steps!

BACK TO TOP

Nope! Although we understand that you likely have your eye on a particular prize, we do not allow any trading up or down for prizes. What you win is what you win. You have the option to decline the prize and all you need to do when we reach out is let us know. If there is something you REALLY want, be sure to check out the #InstaWIN section on the tournament's donation page because it is likely offered there and you can "win" it instantly simply by donating the listed amount.

BACK TO TOP

Nope! When you win a prize, they are non-transferrable. If it's a tangible item, like an autographed jersey, we will send it to the address found within your account profile. Once you receive the prize, it's yours and you can gift it to whoever you'd like. If it is an experience, like a game day VIP and meet n greet, only the winner of the prize can accept it. If you are unable to participate in a prize experience, you can not transfer it to someone else. The prize will simply go unfilled.

InstaWIN is a unique feature of Win-Win that enables you to "win" a prize, instantly! Think of it as a Buy-It-Now button. Every tournament will have a separate set of experiences and items that you can get simply by making the required donation. See the Why Donate page for more details.

Note: InstaWINs are separate from the prize list, so if there is an autographed football in the prize list as well as the InstaWIN section just because someone donates to receive the ball (InstaWIN), the autographed football in the prize list still goes to that winner!

Yes! Your donation on the Win-Win platform actually goes through the Win-Win Foundation initially, a 501(c)3 non-profit, and is then sent along to the associated charity. Once you make your donation on the Win-Win platform you will immediately receive an email confirmation, which will include your official receipt and the charitable tax ID number, etc. Please be sure to consult with your tax consultant because everybody's tax situation is different

BACK TO TOP

Great question! The short answer is yes and no.

Win-Win has two (2) separate entities, one is a private corporation (Win Win App, Inc) and the other is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization (Win-Win Foundation). To learn more about the Win-Win Foundation and see the foundation's FAQs, visit the website www.WinWinFoundation.org

Win-Win works with charities across all sectors and we are constantly expanding our network of charitable partners. While Win-Win typically partners with charities chosen by our athlete and influencers, we are always open to speaking with new non-profits making an impact! All charities are carefully vetted to ensure they are in good standing. We’d love to hear from you if you have on in mind! Please send inquiries to giving@winwinfoundation.org

BACK TO TOP

We do not offer refunds. Your payment is a donation to a non-profit and all transactions are final. The only exception is if you've donated for a specific #InstaWIN item or experience and there's an issue with fulfillment, and we will handle these situations accordingly.
