FAQs
Is this gambling?
No. Rush is free to play. You cannot deposit, buy, or lose money. Contests are skill-based with free entry, and prizes like Season Zero’s are promotional awards under posted rules.
What does it cost?
Nothing. There are no purchases in the app, and no ads.
How do I win prizes?
Every week pays the top three of The Field: $100, $50 and $25 today, more as the Field grows, and every friend you bring who makes a pick adds 10% to your prize, up to 3x. Weekly prizes are paid by Venmo. Season Zero (Sep 8 to Nov 2) adds two seats at an NFL game for the season champion. Full values are on the Season Zero page and in the Official Rules.
Why TestFlight and not the App Store?
Rush is in beta. TestFlight is Apple’s official beta platform: install takes two minutes and updates arrive automatically. The App Store release comes after the beta.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. iPhone first through the beta; Android comes later.
What sports can I pick right now?
The full NFL board is live, with player props. College football, NHL, MLB, MLS, UFC, WNBA and the Champions League run alongside it. Season Zero includes every sport, not just football.
What is RIQ?
Your skill rating. Think Elo for picks: everyone starts at 1500, every settled pick moves it, and it never resets. Tiers run Rookie, Grinder, Sharp, Shark, Apex, Oracle.
What are Units?
Your season scoreboard. Highest profit when it settles takes the contest, and that settled profit banks as Units on the Standings. The Season Zero race is decided by season Units.
What are Tickets?
Free in-app tokens you earn for where you finish, for the daily tasks, and when a friend you invited makes their first picks. They are never a cost to enter. Spend them on a Reload.
What is a Reload?
Out of Stack with nothing in play? A Reload spends 5 Tickets for 1,000 more Stack in the same week, once. Your +/- keeps counting from where it was.
Can I change my mind on a pick?
Yes. Any open slip refunds in full until a game on it starts. Tap Refund on the slip.
Can I play with my friends?
Yes. Everyone in a contest is on the same Board and the same standings. Your Profile has an invite code. A friend who signs up with it gets Tickets on their first picks, and every friend of yours who makes a pick lifts your prize 10%, up to 3x.
What happens after Season Zero ends on Nov 2?
Season 1. Ratings carry forward (or take the one-time Clean Slate, your choice), Season Zero players keep the OG Mark forever, and Finishers lock first seats for Season 1.
Will there ever be paid contests?
That’s the goal after beta testing and legal approvals. Paid contests need a legal review covering entry and secure prize transfer, and that review is the priority. No dates and no promises until that work is done. Season Zero players carry the OG Mark into whatever comes next.
What do I do if something breaks?
Tell us. Email support@joinrush.app or use Help & Support in the app. Every report gets read.
Who is behind Rush?
Rush Gaming LLC. It started as a private 39-week pool between friends before becoming an app.
