Is it free to play games on hotboxsports.com?

Hotbox Sports offers both free and entry fee games, some entry fee games have grand prizes of up to $1,000,000.00. You are welcome to continue playing in free contests on Hotbox Sports or try your best to win real money in our entry fee games.

Do I have to pay taxes on my Hotbox Sports winnings?

Yes, you do have to pay taxes on your net winnings from fantasy sports contests. We are required to issue a 1099 tax form to all players who have a net profit that exceeds $600 for a particular calendar year. We may ask for some of the necessary personal information prior to that. The $600 threshold is not based on withdrawals, but on net profit.

What is Hotbox Sports?

Hotbox Sports is a fantasy sports contest provider which lets you chose a fantasy team, see your results happen live and win cash prizes.

We offer contests for baseball, basketball, hockey and soccer (futbol), and more to come.

Are Hotbox Sports Contests legal?

The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (“UIGEA”), the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (“PASPA”), the Wire Act, and the federal Prohibition on Illegal Gambling all address “betting or wagering” on sporting events.  The UIGEA, however, contains a specific exemption for fantasy sports contests fulfilling certain conditions:

Participants pay a one-time, non-refundable entry fee in exchange for the experience of participating in the Promotion.

All prizes and awards offered to winning participants must be established and made known to the participants in advance of the contest, and the value of those prizes and awards may not depend on the number of participants or the amount of any fees paid by those participants.

All winning outcomes must reflect the relative knowledge and skill of the participants and be determined predominantly by accumulated statistical results of the performance of individual athletes in multiple real-world sporting events.

Lastly, none of the results may be based on the outcome of the game, including the score, point-spread.  The performance or performances of any single real-world team or any combination of such teams are not the deciding factors in our product.
