Contests

Contests are the easiest way to start winning on Longshot. Enter, make your picks, and get paid.
  • Enter: Pay a fixed entry fee, or jump into a free-to-play contest. Some paid contests have a prize pool that grows as more entries are added.
  • Predict: Submit what the contest calls for—such as a slate of picks in Lineups, a round-by-round selection in Survivor, or an exact-value prediction in Outcast.
  • Scoring: When the underlying events resolve, your entry is scored and ranked according to that contest type’s posted rules.
  • Win: Each contest type publishes its payout rules before you enter. Lineups reward the highest finishers; Survivor splits the pool among the entries that advance furthest; Outcast rewards every entry that stays out of last place; Streak pays at milestones.
Free-to-play vs. paid. Free-to-play contests cost nothing and the prizes are on us. Paid contests charge a fixed entry fee. When a paid contest’s prize pool can grow, a plus sign appears beside the amount. Select the plus sign to see after how many entries each additional entry increases the pool. Featured contests. Longshot may explicitly feature up to two contests while entries are open. If one contest is featured, it appears in the right featured card; if two are featured, they fill the cards from left to right. Eligible featured contests are returned before the normal lobby ordering, and a contest automatically leaves the featured placement when entries close or fill.
