Standings
Rules
No entry fee, no purchase, nothing to buy. Submit the weekly poll and you're in.
Straight up, no spread. Your team just has to win. Sunday and Monday games only — teams playing Thursday night aren't available that week, but they're back in play the weeks after.
Use the Lions in Week 1 and they're gone for good. 32 teams, and once one is spent it doesn't come back.
Your team loses, your run ends. No buybacks.
Your team has to win. A tie doesn't get you through.
Change your mind before the deadline and just submit again. Entries are tracked by email address, and only the most recent one per address counts for that week. Use the same email every week or your history won't line up.
No pick submitted before the deadline counts as a loss. Set a reminder.
Whenever Sunday's first game starts, the week is closed. That's usually 1:00 PM ET, but on London weeks it's 9:30 AM ET — so check the slate before you leave it to the last minute.
Bragging rights and a $100 prize. If everyone left is eliminated in the same week, the survivors split it.
Standings are updated after the last game of each week.
Official rules
Sponsor. The Bet the Swarm Survivor Pool is sponsored by Bet the Swarm LLC. Bet the Swarm LLC administers the pool, determines all results, and awards the prize.
No purchase necessary. No purchase or payment of any kind is necessary to enter or win, and a purchase will not improve your chances of winning. Entry is not conditioned on opening, funding, or using an account with any third party, including any advertiser or affiliate partner appearing on this site.
Eligibility. Open to legal residents of the United States who are 18 years of age or older at the time of entry. Employees of Bet the Swarm LLC and members of their immediate households are not eligible. Void where prohibited or restricted by law.
How to enter. Submit a survivor selection through the weekly poll at bettheswarm.io before the entry deadline. Entries are identified by the email address supplied at submission. Where more than one entry is received from the same email address in a given week, only the most recently submitted entry will be counted and all earlier entries for that week are void. Entries submitted after Sunday's first scheduled kickoff will not be counted. Automated entries, and entries made using multiple email addresses by the same individual, may be disqualified.
Winner determination. The entrant who survives the most consecutive weeks without an eliminating result wins. If more than one entrant remains when the pool concludes, or if all remaining entrants are eliminated in the same week, those entrants will share the prize equally. Results are determined by the final official score of each game as reported by the NFL. All decisions of Bet the Swarm LLC regarding results, eligibility, and rule interpretation are final and binding.
Prize. One hundred United States dollars ($100), awarded as a single prize and split equally among co-winners where applicable. The prize has no cash substitute beyond its stated value and is not transferable. Winners are responsible for any applicable taxes.
Winner notification. Winners will be contacted at the email address associated with their entry within fourteen (14) days of the pool concluding, and must respond within thirty (30) days to claim the prize. An unclaimed prize may be forfeited and awarded to the next eligible entrant or not awarded at all, at the Sponsor's discretion.
General. Bet the Swarm LLC reserves the right to disqualify any entrant who tampers with the entry process or violates these rules, and to modify, suspend, or cancel the pool if it cannot be run as planned. This promotion is not sponsored, endorsed, or administered by, or associated with, the National Football League or any of its clubs. This promotion is in no way affiliated with any advertiser or affiliate partner appearing on this site.
