Below are the complete details, including entry guidelines, key deadlines, prize distribution, and important rules.

How to Enter

• To qualify for BetMania’s Sweet 16 Bracket Contest, open an account with BetMania, and deposit $300 or more into your account between February 10, 2025, and March 27, 2025 (one hour before the first Sweet 16 game begins). Each $300 deposit earns one entry to the contest.
• Bracket submissions open on Monday, March 24, 2025, at 1:00 PM ET. Please note that entries submitted before this time will be invalid.
• The deadline for submitting your bracket is the start time of the first Sweet 16 game on March 27, 2025. Once exact game times are confirmed, we will provide the final cutoff time for entry submissions.

Contest Rules

• Each $300 deposit qualifies for one contest entry. Participants may submit multiple entries, but all entries must be linked to the same account number.
• The top 50 highest-scoring participants will be eligible for prizes, as determined by selection accuracy and time of submission.
• If two or more participants achieve the same accuracy score, the earliest submission will act as the tiebreaker.
• Participants are only eligible to win one prize; if multiple prize thresholds are met, the highest-value prize will be awarded, and the lower prize will go to the next eligible participant.
