What benefits can $FUN holders receive?
How $FUN Seasons and Manager Buybacks work
$FUN Seasons are weekly reward periods that recognise managers for holding $FUN, participating in Sport.fun and carrying out eligible activity in Pro.
The $FUN you earn may also give you access to a Manager Buyback, allowing you to exchange some of your $FUN rewards for Gold directly within the app.
How $FUN Seasons work
Each $FUN Season lasts one week. During the Season, you can earn points and qualify for a share of that week’s $FUN reward pool.
Rewards take account of:
- The amount of $FUN you hold in your in-game wallet
- How long you hold it during the Season
- Eligible participation and activity in Pro
- Your eligible positive net spend in Pro
40% of the weekly $FUN Season rewards are distributed based on eligible positive net spend in Pro.
At the end of the Season, rewards are calculated and distributed according to each eligible manager’s share of the relevant points and activity.
How Holder Points are calculated
You earn Holder Points based on your average $FUN balance during the Season. Your balance is measured throughout the week, so both the amount you hold and how long you hold it matter.
For example:
- Holding 700 $FUN for the full seven-day Season gives you 700 total Holder Points.
- Adding $FUN partway through a Season increases your points from that point onwards.
- Withdrawing $FUN reduces your Holder Points proportionally.
Deposits and withdrawals do not change points already earned for earlier days.
Only $FUN held in your in-game wallet qualifies. $FUN held on an exchange or in another external wallet does not count.
Holder Levels and benefits
Your $FUN holdings also determine your Holder Level. There are six levels, with progressively greater benefits available at higher levels.
Level | Score needed | Fee rebate | Bonus TP |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | 0–999 | None | None |
2 | 1,000 | 1% | 1% |
3 | 10,000 | 5% | 3% |
4 | 50,000 | 15% | 5% |
5 | 100,000 | 25% | 10% |
6 | 500,000 | 40% | 20% |
Benefits may include:
- Fee rebates: A proportion of eligible gameplay fees returned to you, based on your Holder Level.
- Bonus Tournament Points: Additional TP earned alongside eligible $FUN reward claims.
- Other perks: Selected Holder Levels may qualify for merchandise, ticket draws or other promotional rewards.
Available benefits may change over time and will be shown in the app.
What are Manager Buybacks?
Manager Buybacks give eligible managers the option to exchange some of their earned $FUN for Gold directly within the app.
Buybacks are offered at the rate shown in the app and may provide a better rate than exchanging the same amount of $FUN through the market. Participation is completely optional. Your $FUN will never be exchanged automatically.
How Manager Buybacks work
When a Manager Buyback is available:
- Sport.fun funds a shared Gold buyback pool.
- Your share of that week’s final $FUN rewards determines your maximum share of the Gold pool.
- You can choose to exchange some or all of your eligible $FUN for Gold at the available rate.
- The Gold is added to your balance and can be used in the player market.
For example, if you earn 5% of all $FUN rewards distributed that week, you may be able to redeem up to 5% of that week’s Gold buyback pool.
Your available amount, exchange rate and redemption deadline will be displayed in the app before you confirm.
Manager Buybacks create an optional loop between activity, $FUN rewards and the player market:
- You participate in a $FUN Season and earn a share of its rewards.
- Those rewards may give you access to that Season’s Manager Buyback pool.
- You can choose to exchange eligible $FUN for Gold.
- You can use the Gold to purchase player shares.
- Eligible purchases may contribute towards your positive net spend in a future $FUN Season.
Important information about Manager Buybacks
- Manager Buybacks are only offered during selected $FUN Seasons.
- A live safe-price quote must be available before an exchange can be confirmed.
- Your available rate and maximum redemption amount will be shown in the app.
- You can redeem all or part of your available buyback amount.
- Buybacks must be completed before the stated deadline.
- Your $FUN will never be exchanged automatically.
- Exchanging $FUN for Gold reduces your $FUN balance. This may reduce your Holder Points or Holder Level in future Seasons.
- Unused allocations may be carried into a future Season at Sport.fun’s discretion.
- Buyback pools, rates, eligibility and availability may vary between Seasons.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need $FUN to play?
No. Holding and using $FUN is optional.
Can I join a $FUN Season partway through?
Yes. Adding $FUN increases your Holder Points from that point onwards, but points are not awarded retrospectively.
What happens if I withdraw $FUN during a Season?
Your Holder Points are reduced proportionally from the time of the withdrawal.
Do I have to use a Manager Buyback?
No. Manager Buybacks are entirely optional.
Can I exchange my entire $FUN balance for Gold?
Not necessarily. Your maximum buyback amount is determined by your share of the relevant $FUN Season rewards and the Gold available in that Season’s buyback pool.
Will my $FUN be exchanged automatically?
No. You must review and confirm every Manager Buyback yourself.
What happens if I do not use my buyback allowance?
It will normally expire at the stated deadline, although unused allocations may be carried into a future Season at Sport.fun’s discretion.
