Responsible Play

Providing support tools to help fantasy owners maintain a healthy and positive player experience while enjoying their favorite hobby.

Experienced Players

In compliance with certain US state law, the FFPC must clearly identify the experienced players on the FFPC platform. Experienced players are identified with this green star icon next to their user name:

Experienced players are those which either 1) entered more than 1,000 fantasy sports leagues or contests offered by FFPC or 2) won three or more cash prizes valued at $1,000 or more in the FFPC.

Tennessee Experienced players are those which either: (a) Entered more than five hundred (500) contests offered by a single Fantasy Sports Operator; or (b) Won more than five (5) fantasy sports prizes where the total value of the prizes is two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) or more.

Beginner Players

A beginner player is a player that has entered under 10 FFPC contests and won less than $1000 in cash prizes.

Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Michigan beginner players are players that have entered fewer than fifty one (51) contests offered by a single fantasy sports operator, and has not qualified as a highly experienced player.

Beginner Leagues can be identified on league registration pages with 'Beginners Only' in the League name, as well as the following icon:

The FFPC will offer "Beginners Only' leagues that are available to beginner players only. The FFPC software system will not allow players to enter beginner-player-only contests unless they are designated as beginners. All non-beginner players and Highly experienced players will be blocked from being able to enter these contests.

If a non-beginner player, including Highly Experienced players, is found to have wrongfully entered a beginner contest directly or through a proxy, the player will be suspended from further participation on the FFPC platform for no less than fifteen (15) days. Following the suspension, the user will regain access to non-beginner leagues/contests. If the user again attempts to wrongfully join a beginner league, the user will be banned from the FFPC platform.

Self-Exclusion

In compliance with certain US state law, you have the ability to disable or permanently deactivate (close) your FFPC account for any reason. By requesting to deactivate your account, the following steps will be taken:

  • Access to your FFPC account will be removed for the length of time which you specify.
  • Any FFPC league entries eligible for refund will be removed and refunded.
  • You may request to withdraw any remaining funds from your FFPC account.

At the end of your self-exclusion period, you may choose to open access to your FFPC account by contacting customer support at support@myffpc.com.

To disable or permanently deactivate your account, please log into your FFPC account, then click on MyAccount button and scroll down until you see the Self-Exclusion section.

If the FFPC discovers that a self-excluded individual registered or entered any FFPC leagues or contests, their account will immediately be closed and that individual will be disqualified from any league or contest that they have joined and all prizes will be forfeited. Forfeited prizes may be subject to state law in which the player resides.

Self-Restriction

In compliance with certain US state law, you have the ability to restrict your FFPC account in the following ways:

  • Restrict the total amount of deposits that the participant may pay to FFPC for a specific time-period established by the participant.
  • Restrict the total amount of entry fees that the participant may pay to the FFPC for a specific time-period established by the participant.
  • Restrict the number of FFPC fantasy leagues/contests the participant may enter for a specific time-period as determined by the participant.

Self restrictions can be made more restrictive at any time and must last a minimum of 90 days from the day the request is made.

If a player wishes to make one of the above requests, please send an email to support@myffpc.com.

FFPC users also have the option to request their account be suspended for a minimum of 72 hours by emailing support@myffpc.com.
