The most frequently asked question we receive from our members “How can I get more Credits?”. We just launched a new feature that will not only get you more Credits, but will allow you to brag about your superior sports knowledge and prove it!
Starting May 7th 2013, the author of the SIU Insight with the most “Likes” each day will be awarded with 5 Credits! Your SIU peers will read, judge and potentially “Like” your insight before, during or after the prop.
Worried about giving your fellow Streaker’s more credits? Well, in return for making SIU the best Pick’em community, we will raffle off 10 awards of 1 credits each day. For each ‘Like’ you give, you will receive another entry into the raffle. Best of all, you can win more than once.
Simply click on the SIU icon in the bottom right hand corner of each prop to Create a New Insight or View Existing Insights. Prove it to your family, friends, members, and us you are the Best Streaker at StreakItUp!
 
Official Rules
  • 5 Credits will automatically be awarded each day to the author whose SIU Insight receives the most “Likes” from other SIU Members. In case of a tie, each unique author receives 5 Credits.
  • 10 awards of 1 Credit will be granted each day to members who “Like” an author’s SIU Insight. These winners will be determined by random drawing. Each “Like” = 1 entry into the drawing. Members are eligible to win more than once.
  • The following day, winners will be posted on SIUs homepage and Credits will be awarded (i.e.: Sunday winners announced and Credits available on Monday morning).
  • SIU reserves the right to reject any submitted SIU Insight for any reason at their own discretion.
  • SIUs decisions with regard to Insight approval, counting “Likes”, random drawing winners and the resulting awards of Credits are final and binding.

New Feature - SIU Insights by SIU Members


Members will now be able to show their sports knowledge and expertise on props throughout the day. 

Create your own insight and let other SIU member's judge how smart you really are.  Users will be able to 'Like' your post.  The more Likes you get the higher your ranking will be.  Rankings will determine your order, letting users view the best ones first.

Insights will be available to be created and edited up until the prop locks.  When an insight is created or edited it will be reviewed by an SIU admin to make sure the content is not detrimental to our site.

 Be the first to write an insight on your favorite prop today!

New Power Up: 50/50

We're excited to announce a new Power Up: 50/50

You pick 2 props, and all you have to do to get a W, is to get one of the 2 correct. Sounds easy, right?
It is easier to get a W, and for that reason, it will cost a pretty penny.

We'll charge 7 credits for this Power Up and you can only use it once per streak.


Regarding Pushes, this is how we'll handle them:

- Push and a Win: You get the W, the credits refunded and the Power Up refunded.
- When both props Push, you get a Push, but your credits and Power Up are refunded.
- When you get a Push and a Loss, you get a Push added to your streak, but you won't get any credits or Power Up refunded.

Power Up Changes

Due to low interest, we have decided to retire the Fade and Copy Cat Power ups.

The Sneak a Peak is a much better Power Up and there wasn't any reason to use the other two with the Sneak a Peak available.

We're also internally testing a new power up: Fifty Fifty.
For 7 credits, you'll be able to pick 2 props. But only one of them needs to win for you to get a W.
