Game information

Rules

Free daily game: no wagering, entry fees, prizes, purchases or cash-equivalent rewards.

1. Everyone gets the same five sports predictions.
2. Choose one answer for each prediction before seeing The Machine's card.
3. When you lock, your five choices are signed by the server and cannot be edited through the normal game flow.
4. The Machine commits to its five choices before play using a SHA-256 commitment. Your browser verifies the reveal against that commitment.
5. You and The Machine are scored independently on each settled, non-void prediction. A correct pick counts toward that side's score, so both sides can be correct on the same prediction when they made the same pick. The side with more correct picks wins the day.

Daily settlement

Each prediction displays its settlement rule before a player chooses. The daily card is built and settled from event schedules and final scores supplied through TheSportsDB. Fantasy Seasons credits TheSportsDB as its data source but is not endorsed by it.

Affected predictions are void when a game is tied, postponed, cancelled or abandoned, when required final data is unavailable, or when the displayed settlement rule cannot produce one unambiguous answer. Results remain pending until the scheduled publication time and the provider marks all required games final. Later provider corrections may be reflected before publication; a published result is not routinely rewritten.

Privacy

Data-minimizing service: no accounts, advertising trackers, marketing pixels, payment processing, or sale of personal information.

Local browser storage remembers an unfinished card and local stats. A short-lived HttpOnly, SameSite cookie contains a cryptographically signed version of your locked choices for game integrity. Hosting infrastructure may process ordinary technical/security logs such as IP address, time, path and user agent. The service does not ask for name, email, phone, payment data, contacts, precise location or social profile.

The service is not directed to children under 13. Features that change the intended audience or personal data collected require a new privacy and age-safety review before release.

Terms

These terms are a best-effort operational baseline and do not replace advice from a qualified lawyer in the jurisdictions where the service is offered.

Fantasy Seasons is a free entertainment game. It accepts no wagers, deposits, entry fees or purchases and awards no money, prizes or cash value. Sports predictions and Machine choices are entertainment, not gambling advice, investment advice or personalized betting recommendations.

Sports, team, player, league and third-party names are descriptive. Fantasy Seasons is independent and not sponsored, endorsed by or affiliated with those parties unless expressly stated. Do not disrupt the service, bypass security, probe non-public systems, automate abusive traffic, impersonate others or use the service unlawfully.

The service and third-party sports data are provided “as is” and may change, be corrected or be withdrawn. Nothing excludes rights or liabilities that cannot legally be excluded. Any future contest, prize, affiliate, advertising, account or paid feature requires a fresh legal, privacy and data-rights review before release.

Accessibility

Engineering target: WCAG 2.2 Level AA minimum. Fantasy Seasons does not claim formal third-party certification.

The game includes keyboard-operable controls, visible focus indicators, a skip link, semantic landmarks/headings, large touch controls, strong contrast, reduced-motion and increased-contrast support, live announcements, and results not conveyed by color alone. Accessibility is a standing release gate; new features require keyboard, focus, zoom/reflow, contrast, semantic/screen-reader, reduced-motion and error-state review.

No affiliation

Fantasy Seasons is independent and is not endorsed by or affiliated with any professional league, team, player, players' association, sportsbook, DFS operator, fantasy platform or data provider mentioned on the service unless expressly stated.
