You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login names and passwords and you accept responsibility for all activities, charges, and damages that occur under your account. It shall be a violation of these Terms of Use to allow any other person to use your account to participate in any contest. You are responsible for ensuring you use strong and secure passwords, and you may be required to change your passwords from time to time.

By inputting a payment method to participate in real money contests, the Authorized Account Holder hereby affirms that the Authorized Account Holder is the lawful owner of the payment method account used to make any deposit(s) on the Website. It shall be a violation of these Terms of Use for any Authorized Account Holder to submit payment using any payment method that is not owned by the Authorized Account Holder.

In addition, the amount of the initial deposit will be invalidated, forfeited and deducted from the Account balance. FantasyThrone reserves the right to close your account - without notice - shall a deposit be charged back.

A "Private Contest" is one that is not listed in the website public domain, and is hosted by another Employee, relative, or friend of the Employee or Immediate Family Member participating. Employees and relatives living in the same household as such employees located in Colorado, are prevented from competing in any fantasy contests offered by any fantasy contest operator in which the operator offers a cash prize.
Professional or amateur athletes, sports agents, coaches, team owners, team employees, referees or league officials, and their immediate family members, are not eligible to participate in, and are strictly prohibited from entering, any FantasyThrone contests in the sport in which they are associated.
CONTEST ENTRY
Users will be able to visit the Website and view the games available for entry (the "Contests"). The entry fee for each Contest is displayed in the Lobby of the Website and on the respective Contest page, and each individual Contest that is not free to enter has an entry fee listed in US dollars. The minimum entry fee for Contests that are not free to play is ten dollars ($10.00), and there is no maximum entry fee for Contests. When you select to participate in a Contest and complete the entry process, the listed amount of US dollars will be debited from your FantasyThrone account. The maximum number of entries an Authorized Account Holder may submit for a particular Contest is listed in the "Contest Details" tab of each Contest.
Information about responsible gaming, including self-exclusion and self-limitation options, is available at: https://www.FantasyThrone.com/responsible-gaming (not set up yet). If you self-exclude, you will be removed from any upcoming contests as set forth in the self-exclusion procedures available at: https://www.FantasyThrone.com/account/selfexclusion (not set up yet), and any entry fees for such upcoming contests you are removed from will be refunded to you.
REFUND POLICY
FantasyThrone accepts all major debit cards, and, depending on the jurisdiction you are in, FantasyThrone may also accept major credit cards (including Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express), PayPal, and gift cards (including FantasyThrone specific cards, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express). While physically located in the State of Connecticut, customers may only link one credit or debit card to their account. Deposits made on our site will appear on your statement as FantasyThrone. All payments are final. No refunds will be issued. In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of the person submitting an entry, the entry will be deemed submitted by the person in whose name the account was registered.
Customers depositing funds using a credit card in some states may see a charge on their credit card statement labeled "international transaction fee" or similar description. The company processing credit card payments for FantasyThrone in certain states may operate outside the United States and may impose fees for international transactions.
If you are charged this international transaction fee to deposit funds into your FantasyThrone account, you may contact FantasyThrone at support@FantasyThrone.com and request a full reimbursement of the international transaction fee. To process your reimbursement request, FantasyThrone will need the following information: (i) original transaction date and amount deposited; (ii) the amount(s) of the fee(s) assessed on such deposited amount; (iii) date(s) such fee(s) was/were assessed; and (iv) a copy of your credit card statement showing such fee(s).
FantasyThrone reserves the right to request additional information to process your request. FantasyThrone will review your submission and if FantasyThrone determines that you have been charged the international transaction fee as a result of depositing funds into your FantasyThrone account, FantasyThrone will credit such amount back to your Account.
Accounts may be deemed dormant or inactive, and any remaining funds held in a dormant or inactive account will be treated, in each case, in accordance with applicable state laws and regulations.
Players can obtain a copy of their Account statements by emailing customer service at support@FantasyThrone.com.

FantasyThrone may, in its sole and absolute discretion, require an Authorized Account Holder to execute a separate release of claims similar to the one listed above in this Paragraph as a condition of being awarded any prize or receiving any payout.
FantasyThrone is not responsible for: any incorrect, invalid or inaccurate entry information; human errors; postal delays/postage due mail; technical malfunctions; failures, including public utility or telephone outages; omissions, interruptions, deletions or defects of any telephone system or network, computer online systems, data, computer equipment, servers, providers, or software (including, but not limited to software and operating systems that do not permit an entrant to participate in a Contest), including without limitation any injury or damage to any entrant's or any other person's computer or video equipment relating to or resulting from participation in a Contest; inability to access the Website, or any web pages that are part of or related to the Website; theft, tampering, destruction, or unauthorized access to, or alteration of, entries and/or images of any kind; data that is processed late or incorrectly or is incomplete or lost due to telephone, postal issues, computer or electronic malfunction or traffic congestion on telephone lines or transmission systems, or the Internet, or any service provider's facilities, or any phone site or website or for any other reason whatsoever; typographical, printing or other errors, or any combination thereof.
FantasyThrone is not responsible for incomplete, illegible, misdirected or stolen entries. If for any reason a Contest is not capable of running as originally planned, or if a Contest, computer application, or website associated therewith (or any portion thereof) becomes corrupted or does not allow the proper entry to a Contest in accordance with the Terms of Use or applicable Contest rules, or if infection by a computer (or similar) virus, bug, tampering, unauthorized intervention, actions by entrants, fraud, technical failures, or any other causes of any kind, in the sole opinion of FantasyThrone corrupts or affects the administration, security, fairness, integrity, or proper conduct of a Contest, the Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual implicated in such action and/or to cancel, terminate, extend, modify or suspend the Contest, and select the winner(s) from all eligible entries received. If such cancellation, termination, modification or suspension occurs, notification will be posted on the Website.
ANY ATTEMPT BY AN ENTRANT OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE THE WEBSITE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF ANY CONTEST IS A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND/OR CIVIL LAWS AND SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, FantasyThrone RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES AND OTHER REMEDIES FROM ANY SUCH PERSON TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
All entries become the property of FantasyThrone and will not be acknowledged or returned.
To be eligible to enter any contest or receive any prize, the Authorized Account Holder may be required to provide FantasyThrone with additional documentation and/or information to verify the identity of the Authorized Account Holder, and to provide proof that all eligibility requirements are met. In the event of a dispute as to the identity or eligibility of an Authorized Account Holder, FantasyThrone will, in its sole and absolute discretion, utilize certain information collected by FantasyThrone to assist in verifying the identity and/or eligibility of such Authorized Account Holder.
Participation in each Contest must be made only as specified in the Terms of Use. Failure to comply with these Terms of Use will result in disqualification and, if applicable, prize forfeiture.
Where legal, both entrants and winner consent to the use of their name, voice, and likeness/photograph in and in connection with the development, production, distribution and/or exploitation of any Contest or the Website. Winners agree that from the date of notification by FantasyThrone of their status as a potential winner and continuing until such time when FantasyThrone informs them that they no longer need to do so that they will make themselves available to FantasyThrone for publicity, advertising, and promotion activities.
FantasyThrone reserves the right to move entrants from the Contests they have entered to substantially similar Contests in certain situations determined by FantasyThrone in its sole discretion.
CONTEST PRIZES AND PROMOTIONS
Prizes will only be awarded if a Contest is run. We reserve the right to cancel Contests at any time. In the event of a cancellation, all entry fees will be refunded to the customer except as specifically provided in these Terms of Use.
Guaranteed prizes are offered in connection with some of the Contests offered by the Website. Each Contest or promotion is governed by its own set of official rules. We encourage you to read such Contest and promotions Rules before participating.
OTHER LEGAL RESTRICTIONS CONTEST OF SKILL
Contests offered on the Website are contests of skill. Winners are determined by the objective criteria described in the Contest deadline, roster, Rules, scoring, and any other applicable documentation associated with the Contest. From all entries received for each Contest, winners are determined by the individuals who use their skill and knowledge of relevant sports information and fantasy sports rules to accumulate the most points according to the corresponding scoring rules. The Website and Contests may not be used for any form of illicit gambling.
CONTEST STATISTICS AND LIVE SCORING
To the extent that we offer 'live' statistics during gameplay, all 'live' statistics and other information provided through the FantasyThrone Website and related information sources are unofficial. Live sports statistics and their respective components are offered for informational and/or entertainment purposes only and are not used to determine the results of our Contests. While FantasyThrone and the third parties used to provide the FantasyThrone Services use reasonable efforts to include accurate and up-to-date information, neither FantasyThrone nor its third party providers warrant or make any representations of any kind with respect to the information provided through the FantasyThrone Website and related information sources. FantasyThrone and its third party providers shall not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, usefulness, or availability of any information transmitted or made available via the FantasyThrone Website and related information sources, and shall not be responsible or liable for any error or omissions in that information.
CONTEST RESULTS
Contest results and prize calculations are based on the final statistics and scoring results at the completion of the last professional sports game of each individual Contest. Once Contest results are reviewed and graded, prizes are awarded. The scoring results of a Contest will not be changed regardless of any official statistics or scoring adjustments made by the leagues at later times or dates, except in FantasyThrone's sole discretion. Information about the effects of a cancelation, postponement, or rescheduling of a game within a Contest are available in the "Rules & Scoring" tab of each Contest.
FantasyThrone reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to deny any contestant the ability to participate in head-to-head contests for any reason whatsoever. Further, FantasyThrone may, in its sole and absolute discretion, invalidate any head-to-head contest result for the purposes of preventing abusive and/or any unfair or potentially unlawful activity, or in the event that there is a risk of any such abusive, illegal, or unfair activity.
PRIZES
At the conclusion of each Contest, prizes will be awarded by 12:00 NOON EST on the following day except in circumstances where technical failure, inability of the Company to verify your compliance with these Terms, or other reasons prevent such timely payout. Contest prizes are listed in our prize table list. Prizes won are added to the winning participants account balance. In the event of a tie, prizes are divided evenly amongst the participants that have tied.
PRIZE TABLES
Contest prize payouts will be published with the creation of each new contest. FantasyThrone reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel or suspend the contests (or any portion thereof) should a virus, bugs, unauthorized human intervention, or other causes corrupt administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper operation of the contest (or any portion thereof) warrant doing so. Notification of such changes may be provided by FantasyThrone to its customers but will not be required.
PAYMENT AND WITHDRAWAL OF PRIZES
Winners are posted on the Website.
Before making any payment, FantasyThrone may require that an entrant complete and execute an affidavit of eligibility in which, among other things, the entrant is required to represent and warrant that the entrant is eligible to participate in a Contest, is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement and, potentially, is required to provide documentation or proof of eligibility and compliance. If FantasyThrone requests that an entrant completes and executes such an affidavit and the entrant fails to do so within seven (7) days, or FantasyThrone otherwise determines that the entrant does not meet the eligibility requirements or is not in compliance with these Terms, FantasyThrone reserves the right to terminate the entrant's account and withhold or revoke the awarding of any prizes associated with such account. In such a situation, FantasyThrone may pay out any withheld or revoked prizes to the other entrants in the relevant contest in a manner consistent with the Rules of the Contest.
Entrants may withdraw their cash prize awards as well as cash deposits by using the "Withdrawal" option on the Website. Entrants may be requested to complete an affidavit of eligibility and a liability/publicity release (unless prohibited by law) and/or appropriate tax forms and forms of identification including but not limited to a Driver's License, Proof of Residence, and/or any information relating to payment/deposit accounts as reasonably requested by FantasyThrone in order to complete the withdrawal of prizes. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in disqualification and forfeiture of any prizes. Disqualification or forfeiture of any prizes may also occur if it is determined any such entrant did not comply with these Terms of Use in any manner.
If you are an entrant residing in Missouri, you can withdraw the funds maintained in your individual account, whether such account is open or closed, within five (5) business days of the request being made, unless FantasyThrone believes in good faith that the you engaged in either fraudulent conduct or other conduct that would put FantasyThrone in violation of sections 313.900 to 313.1020, RSMo, in which case FantasyThrone may decline to honor the request for withdrawal for a reasonable investigatory period until its investigation is resolved if it provides notice of the nature of the investigation to you. For the purposes of this provision, a request for withdrawal will be considered honored if it is processed by FantasyThrone but delayed by a payment processor, credit card issuer, or by the custodian of a financial account.
Checks for withdrawal requests are processed within 14 business days, with the exception of any such requests coming from persons physically located in Iowa, which will be processed within 5 days, and are sent via U.S. Mail. Promotional deposits, credits, and other bonuses may not be withdrawn from a FantasyThrone account unless appropriate terms of the promotion are achieved first by the user.
All taxes associated with the receipt of any prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. In the event that the awarding of any prizes to winners of Contests is challenged by any legal authority, FantasyThrone reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine whether or not to award such prizes.
No substitution or transfer of prize is permitted, except that FantasyThrone reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal value or greater if the advertised prize is unavailable. All prizes are awarded "as is" and without warranty of any kind, express or implied (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability for a particular purpose).
Any withdrawal requests, after approved by FantasyThrone, will be credited back to the same credit card or method of payment used to deposit funds on the Website. FantasyThrone will only release withdrawals to a different credit card or other payment method other than that which was used to make deposit(s) after the aggregate amount of such deposit(s) has already been released back to the credit card(s) or payment method(s) used for the deposit(s).

Is this something we can set up with Paysafe? I noticed that DraftKings has a separate bank account to hold winnings called DK Player Reserve LLC
TERMINATION AND EFFECT OF TERMINATION
In addition to any other legal or equitable remedy, FantasyThrone may, without prior notice, immediately revoke any or all of your rights granted hereunder or suspend your account. In such event, you will immediately cease all access to and use of the FantasyThrone Website. FantasyThrone may revoke any password(s) and/or account identification issued to you and deny you access to and use of the Website. Any such action shall not affect any rights and obligations arising prior thereto. All provisions of the Terms of Use which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.
