edit - ^^ guess not, I recieved a freeplay and only a freeplay for my 5 game streak...odd. With those prizes, I would of taken the freeplay anyway

It's just a freeplay. I'm assuming they word it like that because there is most likely some rollover required, while cash reward doesn't need one. Afterall 5 g's after a streak of 25 is a pretty weak reward compared to all these other contests available, but 50/100 for 5 is on the high end.

Are you from the U.S? Because prizes are only for U.S customers.

Too bad you gotta bet unlike betdsi... They give you very limited options usually over unders on bases.. Tough..

I hit a streak of 5 and they gave me a $5 free play. I did not read the fine print that you have to place a bet the day your streak starts.

I thought they would change the 5 streak. Nice they actually offer some prizes, I was sure it would be just freeplays.

I don't have a problem with this.

IMPORTANT! A NEW Prize structure shall take effect on Monday, July 7th 2014, at 12AM EST. From that point forward, all winning streaks eligible for a prize will be awarded the new prize value corresponding to the streak won.

The NEW Betting Streak Prize structure is the following:

Betting Streaks of 5 wins will be awarded a $50 Valued Item.
Betting Streaks of 10 wins will be awarded a $500 Valued Item.
Betting Streaks of 15 wins will be awarded a $2000 Valued Item.
Betting Streaks of 25 wins will be credited $5000 Cash Reward.
Betting Contest Winner of the month will be credited a $1000 Free Play*.

Current Betting Streak Prize structure:

Betting Streaks of 5 wins will be awarded a $100 Valued Item.
Betting Streaks of 10 wins will be awarded a $250 Valued Item.
Betting Streaks of 15 wins will be awarded a $500 Valued Item.
Betting Streaks of 25 wins will be credited $2500 Cash Reward.
Betting Contest Winner of the month will be credited a $1000 Free Play*.

The Betting Streak Contest winner of the month will be determined by the player with the most consecutive winning selections at the end of a calendar month.
Eligible accounts will have the corresponding prizes applied within 24 hours of grading the daily picks with no rollover or wagering requirements attached.
Customers are entitled to exchange the Merchandise Prize for a Free Play, available to use in Sportsbook Main, for the same value as the item. So for the case of a 5 wins Betting Streak, if choosing to exchange the prize, a $100 Free Play would be added to the Sportsbook Main account of the winner.
Merchandise prizes are available for US customers ONLY. Non US customers will be credited a Free Play for the amount corresponding to the item they won.
*For the Betting Contest Monthly Leaderboard, only the first place will have the prize applied. In the case of a TIE for the first place between one or more players, the amount of the prize will be divided in equal parts amongst the eligible winners.

I agree, if a donk like me can hit a 5 streak I am sure anyone can. I took the free play
