FAQ

A: Kingpin is a platform that allows handicappers to place their picks and users to follow those picks.

A: A Kingpin PRO subscription allows you to view the Sharp Pick as well as every upcoming pick from every user. You can also receive instant pick notifications and track your experts. If you want to view upcoming picks from proven sports bettors and use that information to place bets on your sportsbook, the Kingpin PRO subscription is for you.

If you finish in the Top 3 for NFL, NCAAF, MLB, NHL, NBA or NCAAB (if the season is ongoing), money will be credited to your real account balance (seen in My Profile).

A: We pay handicappers with Venmo or Zelle.

A: No. No users can delete picks after the picks have been placed. You can clear your entire pick history and start fresh, but you cannot clear individual picks. You can also clear a specific sport, but you can then no longer place picks on that sport forever.
