If you've joined a Private (Self-Managed) contest, all payments are handled outside of Splash Sports. Splash provides the contest experience — picks, standings, and reporting — while the commissioner manages entry fees and payouts separately.
Where to Find Payment Instructions
Payment details are provided by your commissioner. You can typically find this information in:
Contest Description – Many commissioners include payment details here
Invites or Messages – Check any emails, texts, or messages sent by your commissioner
Direct Communication – Your commissioner may share payment methods (e.g., Venmo, PayPal) directly with the group
Do I Pay Anything on Splash Sports?

What About Service Fees?
Any service fee on Splash Sports applies only to the commissioner when creating the contest
Members are not charged by Splash Sports to participate in a Self-Managed contest
What Splash Does (and Doesn't) Track
Splash only provides:
Contest structure
Pick tracking
Standings and reporting
Splash does not process payments, hold funds, or track/manage payouts for Self-Managed contests — all financial activity happens externally, and we're not able to get involved in money disputes between commissioners and members since that exchange happens outside our platform.
