How to play
DreamPick is an easy and exciting daily fantasy sports game that allows sports fans to compete and win cash prizes based on the knowledge of their favorite sports teams – without getting into complicated player stats like DraftKings or FanDuel.
Founded in 2020 by Alden Do Rosario, Ramesh Sethuraman And Vikas Kansagara. DreamPick is headquartered in Grafton, MA.
Legal residents physically located in any of the following 23 states (listed below) are eligible to open an account and participate in offered contests:
Florida, Texas, Alaska, California, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Kansas, Massachusetts.
- Head-to-Head – Winner takes all in these one-on-one contests.
- 50/50’s – Teams finishing in the top-half of the field win cash no matter the number of entries.
- Double Ups – The teams that place in a prize-paying position for these contests will double their entry fee.
- Beginner – Beginner contests are contests open to users who, at the time of contest entry, have not entered more than 50 contests.

Yes, each contest has a maximum entry count per user ranging from 1 – 150. The entry limit count for each contest is listed in the Contest Details as ‘Multi-Entry’.
Beginner contests are contests open to users who have not entered more than 50 contests at the time of contest entry.
Contest entry will close approximately one minute before the start of the first game in the contest. You can edit your selections as many times as you like before the contest closes.
In the event that one of the players on your selected team does not play, a reserve player from the RESERVE list will be used. If multiple players do not play and the reserve list is exhausted, your player will receive zero points. Example: in an NFL team roster with eight preselected players, there will be two reserve players. If one player from the main roster does not play, the fantasy points from the first reserve player will be used. If two players do not play, the second reserve player will be used. If three players from the main roster do not play, then unfortunately you will receive zero fantasy points for your eighth player.

If there is a tie at the end of the contest, users included in the tie will evenly split the related prize pool positions. For example: If two users tie for 1st place, and 1st place pays $20 and 2nd place pays $10, we add the combined places then split that among the tied parties. Each would receive $15.
