Quick answer

A challenge can fail when the account breaks a published rule, falls outside the final challenge brief, or fails integrity and eligibility review. For the active 1-Step path, the confirmed headline breach risks include the 10% daily loss limit, 15% maximum loss, 20 minimum picks, 1% to 5% pick sizing, the 3-pick parlay limit, and 30-day inactivity closure.

Common breach reasons

  • Reaching the 10% daily loss or 15% maximum loss limit.
  • Making picks that are not permitted by the final brief.
  • Failing the 20-pick minimum, the 30-day inactivity rule, or any activity requirement stated in the final brief.
  • Breaking the 30% Consistency Rule, exceeding 3 picks in a parlay, or breaking any pick-size or maximum-pick rule stated in the final brief.
  • Using multiple accounts without written permission.
  • Account sharing, collusion, coordinated opposite positions, bots, or technical exploitation.
  • Payment, identity, location, or account-integrity problems.

Common questions

Q:Will the platform block every invalid action?

A: Do not rely on it. You remain responsible for reading and following the written brief even if the interface allows an action.

Q:Can I appeal an account result?

A: Contact support with your account email, order ID, challenge path, and the exact result you want reviewed. Support can investigate the record but cannot guarantee reversal.

Q:Which document controls?

A: For a paid challenge, the final challenge brief and checkout terms control over general public summaries.
