Contest Entry Issues: Canceling, Joining, and Missing Picks

How to cancel a contest entry, troubleshoot join errors, and resolve missing picks issues.

Updated yesterday

How do I cancel my contest entry?

If you need to cancel an entry — for example, if you accidentally entered the wrong contest — contact our support team as soon as possible with:

  • Your account email address

  • The name or ID of the contest you want to cancel

  • The reason for cancellation

Note: Cancellations are not always guaranteed, especially if the contest has already started or a cutoff has passed. Contact us as early as possible for the best chance of resolution.


I'm having trouble joining a contest — what should I check?

If you're seeing an error when trying to join a contest, here are the most common causes:

  • Wrong link or ID: Double-check the contest ID and password provided by the organizer.

  • Entry deadline passed: Most contests have a lock time. If the deadline has passed, entries are closed.

  • Account not verified: Some contests require a verified account. Check your email for any pending verification steps and confirm your email address is confirmed in your account settings.

  • Payment issue: Make sure your payment method on file is valid and has sufficient funds.

If you've checked all of the above and are still having trouble, contact support with a screenshot of the error and your account email.


My picks aren't showing up — is something wrong?

If your picks or entries aren't displaying correctly, try the following:

  • Refresh the page or clear your browser cache.

  • Try a different browser or device.

  • Make sure you're logged into the correct account.

If the problem persists, contact support right away — especially if it's time-sensitive. Include your contest name and account email so we can look into it quickly.


I entered the wrong contest — can I move my entry?

Entries cannot be transferred between contests. If you joined the wrong contest, you'll need to request a cancellation of that entry (see above) and re-enter the correct one, subject to availability and contest rules.


I joined a contest but never received a confirmation — what should I do?

If you didn't receive a confirmation email after joining:

  • Check your spam or junk folder — confirmation emails sometimes land there.

  • Log in to your account and check the MY CONTEST tab to see if your entry appears under Upcoming or Active.

  • Make sure you completed the full entry flow, including any payment steps.

If your entry isn't showing up and you believe you were charged, contact us at support@splashsports.com with your account email and contest name.
