What is a sweepstake?
A sweepstake is a scheme usually organised between friends, family or colleagues around a sporting event. Participants usually pay a fee to play and are usually randomly assigned a team – but you can always play for fun and don’t have to use money to compete.
If that team wins their respective tournament then the ‘owner’ of that team claims the prize. The rules can be slightly different depending on the hosts.
There could potentially be runners-up prizes, while semi-finalists have on occasion received their entry fee back. But the main prize is always reserved for the tournament’s winner.
