What decides whether an account can play for cash

Four things decide cash eligibility: physical location at the time of entry, age, the type of game or tournament, and account standing. Location is the one most people ask about, but a player in an eligible state can still be limited by the other three.

WorldWinner runs an eligibility check before every cash entry. When this page and that check disagree, the check is right, because WorldWinner can change its list at any time.

Age rules and play outside the US

Players must be 18 or older (higher in some jurisdictions). Cash play is void in the EU and is offered in Canada except Quebec, with Ontario also listed as restricted.

Free practice games are available everywhere

Location limits apply to cash competitions. Free practice games use the same rules and scoring, carry no entry fee and no cash prize, and are open in every state.
