Rush Season Zero: Official Contest Rules
1. Sponsor
Rush Gaming LLC ("Sponsor"). Apple Inc. is not a sponsor of, and is not involved in, this contest in any way. Prizes are not sponsored or endorsed by the National Football League or any sports league or team.
2. Eligibility
Open to legal residents of the United States, 18 years or older at time of entry, where not prohibited by law. Employees of Sponsor and their immediate families are not eligible for prizes.
3. Contest period
September 8, 2026 – November 2, 2026 ("Season Zero"), comprising: eight weekly contests (each running Tuesday through Monday, matching NFL Weeks 1–8, all sports included); single-game primetime contests held during those eight weeks; and one cumulative Season Race across the full period.
4. How to enter
Download the Rush app (free), create an account, and enter any contest using Tickets (free in-app tokens). No payment is accepted or possible at any point. Seats are limited to 150 participants for Season Zero.
5. Winner determination
Skill-based. Standings are computed automatically from contest results (settled Units) by the same automated settlement that grades every pick. Rankings: cumulative season Units; category honors as defined in-app. Ties resolve by earliest final entry. Sponsor's determination is final.
6. Prizes and approximate retail values (ARV)
Weekly contests. First place in each of the eight weekly contests (NFL Weeks 1–8) receives $100. Eight awards, $800 total.
Primetime contests. First place in each single-game primetime contest held during Weeks 1–8 receives $25, up to a maximum aggregate of $625 across Season Zero. If the schedule yields more primetime contests than that aggregate allows, the per-contest award is reduced proportionally so the $625 total is not exceeded.
Season Zero champion. First place in the cumulative Season Race receives two (2) NFL game tickets, winner's choice of game, ARV up to $550. No second, third, or other placement awards are made in the Season Race. The rotating Season Zero trophy is displayed and passed to each season's champion; it is not retained property of the winner and is excluded from ARV.
Honors. Sharpest Slate and Iron Man are recognition only — an in-app badge and placement on the Ranks screen. They carry no cash or merchandise value.
Total prize value: up to $1,975. No participant's total prize value across Season Zero will exceed $1,900. Any award that would cause a participant to exceed that amount passes to the next eligible participant.
Founding-member badge: every participant who enters at least one contest during Season Zero receives a permanent founding-member badge in the app. Entry is free and requires no purchase. The badge is recognition only, carries no monetary value, and is not contingent on placing or winning any contest; it is not a prize.
7. Odds
This is a contest of skill; outcomes depend on participants' performance and the number of entrants.
8. Prize claim
Winners notified in-app and by email within 7 days of the final settlement. Winners must confirm eligibility (including age) to claim. Prizes not claimed within 30 days are forfeited.
9. Taxes
Winners are responsible for any taxes on prizes. Prize values are aggregated per participant per calendar year. Where required by law, Sponsor may request a completed Form W-9 before releasing a prize, and may report prize value to tax authorities.
10. Conduct
Exploitation of stale or lagging lines, multiple accounts, collusion, or any manipulation of contest integrity results in disqualification and forfeiture of awards and seat.
11. Publicity
By participating, Finishers consent to display of their in-app username on the Season Zero page. No other publicity use without consent.
12. General
Sponsor may cancel or modify the contest only for integrity, legal, or force-majeure reasons; the sealed product promises published at joinrush.app/season-zero are unaffected. Disputes resolved by Sponsor in good faith.
