I Won a Big Prize — How Do I Collect It?

What to do when you win a large prize on Splash Sports — the verification and bank connection steps required before your withdrawal can be processed.

Updated yesterday

Congratulations! For significant prize wins, Splash Sports may reach out to you directly before processing your withdrawal. Here's what to expect and what you'll need to do.


You'll Receive an Email from Our Team

For large contest prizes, our Trust & Safety team proactively contacts winners before the withdrawal is processed. Look for an email with a subject line like "Splash Sports Big Win!" or "Splash Sports Big Win! *Action Required*".

This email will tell you exactly what steps are required — typically one or both of the following.


Step 1: Complete Identity Verification (if required)

If your account isn't yet verified, or if additional verification is needed for a large payout, you'll be asked to upload your government-issued ID.

  1. Look for the "Verify User" link on your account page, or navigate to the deposit/withdrawal page — you'll be prompted automatically

  2. Complete the verification on your mobile device

  3. Reply to the email from our team once your ID has been uploaded

See Verifying Your Splash Account for full instructions.


Step 2: Connect Your Bank Account via Aeropay

Large prize withdrawals are processed via Online Banking (ACH) through our payment provider Aeropay. You'll need to connect your bank account if it isn't already linked.

  1. Go to the Deposit page and select Online Banking as your payment method

  2. Make a minimum $10 deposit to connect your bank through Aeropay

  3. Once connected, your bank account will appear as an option on the Withdrawal page

  4. Submit your withdrawal request

  5. Reply to the email from our team letting us know the withdrawal has been submitted — this helps us expedite processing


How Long Will It Take?

Once you've completed verification and submitted your withdrawal via Aeropay, our team will prioritize processing it. Standard processing is Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM ET. ACH transfers typically arrive the same day to within 2-3 business days once approved.


Common Questions

Why do I need to verify my identity again? For large payouts, we're required to confirm the account holder's identity as part of our compliance obligations. This protects you and ensures the funds go to the right person.

Can I withdraw via PayPal or check instead? For very large prizes, our team typically requires ACH (bank account) as the withdrawal method. If you have a specific situation, reply to the email from our team and we'll discuss options.

I received the email but haven't done anything yet — is my prize safe? Yes — your winnings are in your Splash wallet and aren't going anywhere. Complete the steps at your earliest convenience and reply to our email so we can process things quickly.
