Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, it's actually a thing. We're a perfectly legal prediction game where members guess which celebrities might shuffle off this mortal coil. Think of it as fantasy sports, but with more existential dread and fewer stats about batting averages.

Look, we're all going to die someday. We're just making it interesting. Plus, 5% of every jackpot goes to charity, so really, we're practically philanthropists. Very dark philanthropists, but philanthropists nonetheless.

Simple: Pick celebrities you think might pass away. If you're right, you share the jackpot. If you're wrong, well, at least they're still alive! That's a win for humanity, if not your wallet.

Anyone in our database with a Wikipedia page longer than a CVS receipt. Actors, musicians, politicians, that guy who got famous for eating 73 hot dogs. If they're notable enough for Wikipedia, they're notable enough for us.

The jackpot starts at $500 and grows from membership fees. No winner? 90% rolls over. We've seen it climb pretty high. Death may be inevitable, but apparently it's not always predictable.

You split the jackpot equally. This isn't Highlander – there doesn't have to be only one. If 10 people correctly predicted, each gets 1/10th. Math!

Within 7 business days of official verification. We need to confirm the passing through reliable sources (major news outlets, not your cousin's Facebook post).

We're in the prediction business, not the tax advice business. Talk to your accountant. But yes, probably. The taxman cometh for us all (though hopefully not literally, for our purposes).

Once picks are locked in, they're sealed tighter than a coffin—sorry, couldn't resist. Make sure you're certain before the deadline. Hence our name.

Each round runs until a celebrity passes away. When that happens, winners are paid out, charity donations are made, and a new round begins. Lock in your picks and wait for the inevitable.

Anyone in our database is fair game. Yes, even the 95-year-old actress who's somehow still doing vodka commercials. Age is just a number (a very relevant number, but still).

Nice try. We require official confirmation from major news sources. If TMZ doesn't report it, it didn't happen. And if someone pulls an Elvis, we'll revisit the situation.

More expensive tiers = more picks per month = more chances to win. Bronze gets you 3 picks, Silver 5, Gold 10, and Platinum 20. It's like a buffet, but for mortality predictions.

Absolutely! Upgrade anytime. Your new tier kicks in at your next billing cycle, and you'll get those extra picks immediately. Death waits for no one, but our billing system is pretty patient.

We offer a free mail-in entry for legal compliance. Send us a handwritten letter like it's 1995. Details on our Free Entry page. No, carrier pigeons are not accepted. We checked with legal.

You can cancel anytime and retain access until your period ends. No long-term commitments here—unlike, you know, the eternal kind.

5% of every jackpot goes to a charity chosen by members. You vote for where the money goes, and it's paid out when a celebrity passes. It's democracy, but for good causes instead of politicians.

Head to the Charity section in your dashboard. One member, one vote. We rotate the charity options to keep things fresh and spread the love around.

Got a cause close to your heart? Drop us a line through the contact form. We vet all suggestions to make sure they're legitimate. No, your buddy's 'beer fund' doesn't count as a charity.

Fort Knox wishes it had our security. Encrypted connections, secure payments via Stripe, and we never sell your data. The only thing we're interested in predicting is celebrity status, not your shopping habits.

Your picks are private. We only reveal winning picks after the fact, and even then it's just your first name and initial, lets celebrate your... let's call it 'intuition.'

Only with payment processors to charge you, and with the authorities if they come knocking (they haven't—we're disturbingly legitimate). See our Privacy Policy for the lawyer-approved version.

First, our condolences. Second, your membership ends—no zombie accounts. Third, any pending winnings go to your registered next of kin or estate. Plan accordingly. Life insurance is for amateurs.

Technically against our terms of service. Also, we'd have some follow-up questions. Please don't.

We're available in most countries except where gambling regulations get complicated (looking at you, certain jurisdictions). If you can access the site and sign up, you're probably good.

Medical miracles happen! If someone is officially declared deceased and then un-deceased within 48 hours, we'll consider it a mulligan. After 48 hours, they've earned that death certificate and so have you.
