4. The Game & Match Postponements

  • Objective: Entrants must predict the outcome (Home Win, Away Win, or Draw) of the 10 selected Premier League fixtures for the designated Gameweek.
  • Postponed or Cancelled Matches: If a selected match is postponed, cancelled, or abandoned after the entry window has opened, that specific match will be deemed void. The requirement to win will be reduced accordingly (e.g., if one match is voided, entrants must correctly predict the remaining 9 fixtures).
  • Minimum Threshold: A minimum number of fixtures must be completed for the weekly prize to be valid. If fewer than 7 of the scheduled 10 fixtures are completed in a given Gameweek, the competition for that week will be deemed void, and no jackpot or safety net prize will be awarded. A special one week only prize will be announced.

5. The Prize & Determining the Winner

  • Multiple Winners: If more than one entrant correctly predicts all fixtures in the same Gameweek, the prize pool will be split equally among the winning entrants. (For example, if there is one UK winner and one ROI winner, they will receive £500 and €500 respectively).
  • The Safety Net Draw: In the event that nobody correctly predicts all fixtures in a given Gameweek, every eligible user who submitted an entry for that Gameweek will automatically be placed into a random digital prize draw. One winner will be drawn at random to win the full prize. The method of selection, will be decided by the JOE social team, and could involve reaching out by phone, email or social media messages. If a prize is not redeemed in the set timeframe, JOE can move the prize on.

  • Notification: Winners will be contacted via the email address or phone number associated with their account within 48 hours of the final whistle of the Gameweek’s final fixture.
  • Claiming Window: The winner has five (2) days from the time of the initial notification to claim their prize.
  • Strict ID Verification: Before any prize is paid, winners will be required to verify their age, identity, and residential address to the satisfaction of the Promoter.
