We are letting you know that PrizePool is being acquired. Unfortunately, this means we are winding down the PrizePool app and your PrizePool account will be closed on September 23rd.

The last day for user-initiated withdrawals is on September 19th. Please make sure to withdraw or transfer your funds before that date. Any remaining funds will be pushed back to your linked account after that date. In the meantime, update your direct deposit and autopay information, and check that your physical address and other contact details with us are accurate in case we need to mail you any future correspondence.

Key dates & account closure process will take place as follows:
