Important Rules

Prize Claims & Seasonal Adjustment

S.P.A. = Seasonal Points Adjustment: Once per new Football Manager season, the percentage assigned to a user's rank is deducted from their complete Ranking Points balance. The user's rank is then recalculated from the remaining points and may move down. Spendable RP and lifetime Total Points are not reduced.

Draw eligibility: Entry is automatic for email-confirmed accounts that are at least 14 days old, hold at least 20 Ranking Points, and have recorded website activity during the previous 7 days. Blocked, suspicious, pending, and administrator accounts are excluded.

The draw takes place on the first day of each month at 22:00 London time. One winner is selected separately from every rank containing at least one eligible user. If a rank contains only one eligible user, that user wins that rank's prize.

Only one account per person is permitted. Duplicate, manipulated, or misleading accounts may be excluded from the draw. Account identity details are locked after registration and corrections must be requested through support.

Prize notifications and confirmation links are sent to the email address saved in the winner's profile at the time of the draw. Email changes made after winning do not change the address attached to that prize. Winners must confirm a prize within 7 days; otherwise the prize expires and the system will attempt to select a replacement winner from the same rank's eligible participant snapshot.

Prize values and currencies: Monetary prize limits are stated in USD. Costs in another currency are converted using the organizer's payment provider exchange rate at the transaction time. The stated limit is the maximum total cost paid by the organizer, including the item, delivery, taxes, booking fees, payment fees, handling fees, and any other checkout fees. If the total cost would exceed the prize limit, the winner must choose a lower-cost option or use collection where available. Prizes have no cash alternative and any unused balance is not paid out.

  • 1) RP prizes are credited to the winner's Riddler's Project account after the prize has been confirmed. RP are internal platform credits for Supporter File access, have no cash value, and cannot be exchanged for money.
  • 2) Prize budget rewards allow the winner to suggest an eligible item, event, ticket, voucher, or similar reward within the stated limit. The full checkout cost, including delivery, taxes, booking fees, checkout fees, payment fees, handling fees, and any related costs, must fit within the prize budget. Rewards must relate to sports, public events, fitness, football culture, or similar activities. Alcohol, tobacco, harmful products, inappropriate services, and cash alternatives are excluded. Final prize approval remains with the project organizer.
