Understanding Chalkboard DFS Withdrawal Rules: The Play-Through Policy
Chalkboard DFS applies a one-time play-through requirement to all deposits and promotional funds. This policy ensures that deposited funds, bonus funds, and any resulting winnings are wagered at least once before becoming eligible for withdrawal.
Key Details of the Play-Through Policy
General Requirement: The one-time play-through policy mandates that both your deposited funds and any promotional bonuses are played through at least once before you can withdraw any portion of them. This means you must wager an amount equal to your deposit or promotional bonus in eligible contests.
Winnings and Partial Withdrawals: While you work toward fulfilling the play-through requirement, winnings earned from entries can typically be withdrawn immediately. For example, if you deposit $100 and enter a contest with $10 that results in a $20 payout, you can withdraw the $20 winnings. However, the remaining $90 of your initial deposit remains non-withdrawable until the play-through condition is satisfied.
Promo Funds and Deposit Matches: When deposits include promotional bonuses, the play-through policy applies to the combined total of the deposited and promotional amounts. This ensures that bonuses are used in gameplay as intended before they can be withdrawn.
Balance Misunderstandings: It is normal for your account to show available funds, even if the play-through requirement is not yet met. These funds remain ineligible for immediate withdrawal until the total deposit and promotional amounts have been wagered accordingly.
Steps to Fulfill Play-Through Requirements
Participate in Contests: Wager any amount from your deposited or promotional funds in contests.
Track Remaining Balance: Monitor the remaining amount that needs to be played through to fulfill the policy.
Withdraw Eligible Winnings: As you win in eligible contests, those winnings can generally be withdrawn immediately without restrictions.
Frequently Asked Scenarios
Deposits Without Contests Played: If no entries have been made, the full deposit remains non-withdrawable.
Small Account Balances: If an account balance does not meet withdrawal rules (e.g., only $10 remains), it is likely due to incomplete play-through requirements.
Suspended or Canceled Picks: Funds related to suspended picks do not waive the play-through requirement.
Summary
Chalkboard DFS’s withdrawal rules center around a one-time play-through policy. All deposits, promotional funds, and winnings require gameplay equivalent to their value before becoming withdrawable. This ensures fair use of promotional bonuses and provides transparency in the withdrawal process. If additional questions arise, contact Chalkboard support for clarification.
