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?
Season Zero (Sep 8 to Nov 2) pays real prizes to the top of the season standings, plus weekly honors. Full tiers and 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?
MLB, WNBA, UFC, MLS and international soccer today, with NFL preseason slates in August and the full NFL board in September. 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. Settled profit from contests banks as Units on the Standings; the Season Zero race is decided by season Units.
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?
That’s the point. Everyone in a contest is on the same board and the same standings, and your Profile has an invite code that earns you both bonus Tickets when a friend plays their first contest.
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 founding-member benefits.
Will there ever be real-money contests?
That’s the goal after beta testing and legal approvals. No dates and no promises until that work is done. Season Zero players carry the founding-member badge into whatever comes next.
What do I do if something breaks?
Tell us. That's the beta working: 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.
