💵 What Are PaperPoints?
PaperPoints are the reward currency used throughout PaperWagers.
They are separate from your SportsIQ and prediction record.
Your SportsIQ measures how you’ve performed. Your PaperPoints balance
represents the points you’ve earned and currently have available to use.
You cannot directly buy PaperPoints. If you’re short of a reward,
keep playing and building your balance.

🎁 What Can I Use PaperPoints For?
🛍️ Rewards Center
Eligible merchandise and other rewards can be redeemed using your
available PaperPoints balance.
Each reward displays its required PP cost. If you have enough points,
you can redeem it through PaperWagers.
Standard shipping is included on eligible physical rewards
redeemed with PaperPoints.
🌙 Prime Time Pots
PaperPoints may also be used in eligible Prime Time Pots prediction
matchups. Terms and potential PP outcomes vary by matchup.
Check the Prime Time Pots page before participating to see the
specific PaperPoints terms.
💳 Can I Buy Merchandise Instead?
Some eligible PaperWagers merchandise may also be purchased normally
with money instead of being redeemed with PaperPoints.
A merchandise purchase and a PaperPoints redemption are separate:
PaperPoints Redemption
Use earned PP. PaperWagers covers standard shipping on eligible
redeemed physical rewards.
Cash Merchandise Purchase
Purchase the item normally. Product and shipping costs are included
as part of the retail transaction.
PaperPoints themselves cannot be directly purchased.
📊 Your PaperPoints Numbers
💰 Spendable Balance
This is the number of PaperPoints you currently have available to
use for rewards, Prime Time Pots and other eligible PaperWagers features.
📈 Lifetime Earned
This represents the PaperPoints you’ve earned over time.
Spending or redeeming points does not erase the history of what
you previously earned.
🛒 Lifetime Spent
This tracks PaperPoints that have been used for eligible redemptions
and other qualifying PaperPoints activity.
❓ PaperPoints FAQ
Can I buy PaperPoints?
No. PaperPoints are earned through eligible PaperWagers activity
and cannot be directly purchased.
Can I turn PaperPoints into cash?
No. PaperPoints have no cash value and cannot be withdrawn,
exchanged for cash or redeemed for money.
Can my PaperPoints balance go down?
Yes. Redeeming a reward reduces your available balance.
PaperPoints used in Prime Time Pots may also increase or decrease
depending on the specific matchup and result.
Do wrong NFL or NCAA Pick’em picks cost me PaperPoints?
No. Normal incorrect Pick’em selections do not deduct PaperPoints.
You simply do not receive the correct-pick reward.
What happens if I skip an NCAA game?
There is no PaperPoints penalty for skipping a game.
You simply do not have an opportunity to earn the +2 PP correct-pick reward.
Why does my spendable balance differ from Lifetime Earned?
Lifetime Earned reflects what you’ve accumulated historically.
Your spendable balance reflects what you currently have available
after redemptions and other PaperPoints activity.
Do I pay shipping when I redeem merchandise with PaperPoints?
No additional standard shipping charge is required on eligible
PaperPoints merchandise redemptions. PaperWagers covers standard
fulfillment shipping.
What happens if I don’t have enough PP for a reward?
Keep playing. PaperPoints cannot be purchased to make up the
difference. Continue earning PP until you have enough to redeem
the reward.
Are reward items always available?
No. Merchandise, reward availability, PaperPoints prices,
earning opportunities and promotions may change over time.
Can PaperWagers adjust the PaperPoints economy?
Yes. PaperWagers may adjust earning rates, reward requirements,
promotions and available rewards as the platform and community evolve.
🏁 Bottom Line
PaperPoints reward you for actually participating in PaperWagers.
