WOW Picks: A Free Shot at a 250,000 SC Prize Pool
WOW Picks is a new sports pick'em feature inside WOW Vegas, and it launches with a free-to-enter NFL contest worth 250,000 SC. No purchase needed. Three lifelines. One team per week.
That is the short version. Here is the full breakdown of what WOW Picks is, how Last Fan Standing works, and where the fine print matters.
18+. No purchase necessary. Void where prohibited by law.
What Is WOW Picks?
WOW Picks is your new home for making daily and weekly picks on your favorite sporting events. It is not a standalone product. It sits inside WOW Vegas, the platform operated by MW Services Limited, and runs under the same sweepstakes model, the same Sweepstakes Rules and the same account. If the two-coin model is new to you, our guide to how sweepstakes casinos work explains it.
In practice, that means one login covers both the casino lobby and the picks. If you already have a WOW Vegas account, you are set, and the same visit also collects the WOW Vegas daily bonus.
The feature is built around a simple loop: browse the eligible fixtures, make your pick, and follow the result in My Picks. Premium extras such as Pick Protection and Coins Back Insurance sit on top for players who want them.
Last Fan Standing: The Launch Competition
Every new sports product needs a headline act. WOW Picks opens with its biggest competition yet: Last Fan Standing, with a 250,000 SC prize pool.
It is completely free to enter. One entry per participant, and no purchase or SC play amount is required.
How It Works
- Pick one team each game week from the eligible fixtures.
- If your pick is successful (your team wins), you stay alive.
- If your pick is unsuccessful (your team does not win, ties included), it costs you a lifeline.
- You start with 3 lifelines. Use up all three and you are eliminated.
- Each team can be picked once per season.
That last rule is the one that decides the contest. Using the best team early feels safe in week one, but it leaves you with weaker options in December. Strong players plan the whole schedule, not just the next game.
Prize Pool and Prize Split
Everyone still standing when the competition concludes is a Last Fan Standing, and the 250,000 SC pool is shared equally. Five survivors take 50,000 SC each. Ten survivors take 25,000 SC each.
If every remaining participant is eliminated in the same final game week, those participants share the pool equally. The split holds even in the event of a tie.
Prizes land as SC, and our guide on redeeming sweepstakes casino prizes covers what comes after that.

Fine Print Worth Knowing
The format is simple. The rules around it are not optional reading.
- Miss the deadline and it costs a lifeline. Picks must be submitted inside the published pick window. No valid pick before it closes counts as an unsuccessful pick.
- Ties cost a lifeline. A tied game is treated the same as an unsuccessful pick.
- Postponed games are completed on the official final result once played. If a game is cancelled and no official result exists before the competition ends, WOW Vegas decides the treatment at its reasonable discretion. That can mean a no-result week with no lifeline deducted.
- Results are manual. WOW Vegas enters the final results by hand, typically processed the next working day, normally by 12:00 PM ET. Prizes are credited manually shortly after the competition concludes.
- Promotion rights. MW Services Limited can cancel or modify the promotion, and can withhold prizes if it finds abuse of the promotion.
Set a phone reminder for each pick window. Missing one is the most avoidable way to go out.
WOW Picks Welcome Pack
Last Fan Standing is free. The welcome pack is the optional extra for players who want more coins.
| Offer | Detail |
|---|---|
| Welcome pack | 1.5 million WOW Coins for $9.99 |
| Included bonus | Free SC 30 in Bonus Picks |
To be clear, buying coins is never required to enter Last Fan Standing. The pack suits players who want to make extra picks beyond the free contest. If you only want the 250,000 SC pool, skip it. The casino side of the offer for new players is covered on our WOW Vegas welcome bonus page.
Who Is WOW Picks Best For?
- NFL fans who like a long game. A season-long contest rewards planning over luck.
- Free-to-play players. The entry costs nothing, which makes it an easy add-on to an existing WOW Vegas account.
- Strategy-minded players. The once-per-team rule turns every week into a scheduling puzzle.
It is a weaker fit for anyone who wants playoff action. Last Fan Standing stops at the end of the regular season.
How to Get Started
- Register or log in at WOW Vegas.
- Open WOW Picks and join Last Fan Standing in Sweepstakes Coins mode.
- Review the eligible fixtures for the current game week.
- Make your pick before the pick window closes.
- Track your lifelines in My Picks and plan your remaining teams.
Only eligible WOW Vegas members can enter, and WOW Vegas's state rules apply. See which states allow sweepstakes casinos for the wider picture.
The Bottom Line
WOW Picks arrives with a strong opening offer: a 250,000 SC pool, free entry and a format anyone can learn in a minute. The lifeline system keeps the contest alive for casual players, and the once-per-team rule gives strategists something to chew on. The main caveats are the strict pick windows and the regular-season-only scope.
For existing WOW Vegas players, joining costs nothing. For everyone else, it is a low-friction way to try sweepstakes sports picks. Our full WOW Vegas review covers the rest of the platform.
