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 risk is the 20% maximum loss limit.

Common breach reasons

  • Reaching the applicable loss limit.
  • Making picks that are not permitted by the final brief.
  • Missing the challenge window or activity requirement.
  • Breaking pick-size, parlay, consistency, or maximum-pick rules in the 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.
