Today, HotStreak is celebrating a special milestone: we’re offering real money fantasy contests! No more HotStreak Tokens (HST), no more gems, no more chips – just good old-fashioned American Dollars. You and your opponent both put some money in the pot, and the winner at the end of the contest takes it down.
Better yet, we’re offering bonuses to our most valuable users – those of you who’ve been here since before the pandemic, those who might remember our big daily competitions (and maybe even our launch with the Pelicans). When you log in and check your account tab, you should see the bonus you’ve been credited with under 🎉 Unlocked bonus. That’s right – the bonus is already unlocked, meaning you can use it to enter HotStreak fantasy contests right now!
Your Balance Screen
On top of the launch bonus for existing users, we're also offering two other ways to earn free money in the app:
Both of these start off in the 🔒 Locked bonus category and get unlocked as you play HotStreak contests. For every $10 in entry fees, you unlock $1 of your bonus. So if you have a $20 refer-a-friend bonus, you'll unlock the whole thing once you've played $200 worth of contests. Those funds will then move to the 🎉 Unlocked bonus category, and you may use them to enter HotStreak contests. Any winnings from those contests are then fully withdrawable.

Regulations on fantasy sports contests vary from state to state, and in some states, offering fantasy competitions like HotStreak is not permitted. As a result, with the transition to real money HotStreak, we’re only going to be able to offer HotStreak fantasy contests in the following states at first:
