Four ways to play Payday
Pick your game.
Call player props in Picks, outlast the field in Survivor, go head-to-head in Decks, or act on other players' entries in the Marketplace. Every game runs from one Payday wallet.

Questions about Payday games
- How many picks can one entry have?
- Between 2 and 10. The players have to come from at least two different teams, and each player can appear only once in an entry. You can mix sports on the same slip.
- How does Payday Survivor work?
- It is a multi-round elimination contest on player props. In Round 1 you submit 2 starters and 2 subs from 4 different teams, and you advance if at least 1 starter hits. From Round 2 you submit 1 starter and 2 subs, and your starter has to hit. The last entry standing wins the prize pool.
- What are Payday Decks?
- Head-to-head skill games played against another Payday player. Both players face identical conditions — the same board, the same cards, the same timer — and the higher score wins. There are six games: Blocks, Solitaire, 21 or Bust, Blackjack, Royal Joker and Spins.
- What does Fade do on the Payday Marketplace?
- Fade takes the opposite side of a listed entry. Every leg is flipped — each MORE becomes a LESS and each LESS becomes a MORE — and it is submitted as a new MAX entry of your own, in one tap.
