There are three different types of promotional picks:
- Gimme Pick: The projection line has been reduced to 0.5.
- Discounted Projection Line Pick: The projection line has been reduced.
- Boosted Multiplier Pick: The pick multiplier has been increased.
Each promotional pick type will have its own unique iconography:
What do the different values mean on the pick cards?
There are two values displayed when making your promotional picks: the standard statistical projection and its new promotional value, or the standard multiplier and its new promotional value.
- For a Gimme Pick, the standard statistical projection will be displayed in grey and crossed out. Directly next to the standard statistical projection will be the promotional projection in purple.
- EX: If Nikola Jokic’s standard point projection is 18, that number will be grey and crossed out. The promotional projection value of 0.5 points will be purple and is the value that will be used to grade the pick.
- The promotional projection value will not change at any point.
- For a Discounted Projection Pick, the standard statistical projection will be displayed in grey and crossed out. Directly next to the standard statistical projection will be the promotional projection in purple.
- EX: If Kevin Durant’s standard point projection is 35, that number will be grey and crossed out. The promotional projection value of 20.5 points will be purple and is the value that will be used to grade the pick.
- The promotional projection value will not change at any point.
- For a Boosted Multiplier Pick, the standard multiplier will be displayed in grey and crossed out. Directly next to the standard multiplier will be the promotional boosted multiplier in white.
- EX: If Donovan Mitchell’s standard multiplier has been boosted from 0.5X to 2X, the standard multiplier of 0.5X will be grey and crossed out. The Boosted Multiplier of 2X will be white and is the value that will be used to calculate winnings for the lineup.
- The promotional boosted multiplier value will not change at any point.

Will lineups with promotional picks compete against lineups without promotional picks?
No. Lineups with promotional picks will automatically be put into promotional contests and only compete against lineups with the same promotional pick type. Lineups without promotional picks will not compete against lineups with promotional picks.
If a promotional pick is voided, lineups will be scored according to the Pick6 minimum play requirements and voided pick policy.
Are there any lineup restrictions with promotional picks?
Yes, there are a few restrictions to promotional picks:
- You can only have one promotional pick per lineup.
- A lineup with a Gimme Pick needs a minimum of 3 picks.
- Promotional picks may not be combined with other promotional Picks (e.g., Gimme Picks combined with Discounted Projection Picks) or other bonus rewards and may not be eligible for use on all promotions and/or Pick6 contests.
