Free Play Contest Platform Closure

Covers Community Members,

After careful consideration, we’ve made the decision to discontinue our daily Free Play contest platform, effective Monday, April 27, 2026.

We’d like to sincerely thank everyone who has participated in these contests over the past five years. It’s been a pleasure offering them to our community, and we hope you’ve enjoyed the experience.

If you’re an active contest player, you can view the latest leaderboards here. These will remain available until April 27.

We’re excited about what’s ahead! Create a Covers account and get added to our mailing list to receive new contest announcements coming this summer.

Our in-house contests aren’t affected by this closure. You can continue testing your handicapping skills with Covers’ free Streak Survivor, King of Covers, and Office Pool contests so make sure to sign up today!

If you have any questions, feel free to reply to this post or reach out to us at support@coversmedia.com.

Hi @Camby1

 That's correct - all of our in-house contests (King of Covers, Streak Survivor, and Office Pools) aren't affected so you can continue to play those. 

Thank you @Ducnrun13 for being a part of the Covers community!

Thanks guys for all of the groovy contests you've put out there over the years... at the best price imaginable.

@Covers-Team

 I hope you bring back the Ultimate Race.

Really miss those days.

Thanks @xparrot! We'll have some groovy contest announcements coming in the next few months so stay tuned. In the meantime, feel free to keep playing our Streak Survivor, King of Covers, and Office Pools.

So, what exact contests are being retired 

Hi @Raidernator76 - We're retiring our daily Free Play platform. Our in-house contests (Streak Survivor, King of Covers, and Office Pools) aren't affected by that closure.

@Covers-Team

 Losing Starts Here.

Sad To See You Go......

I won once.  

I have 17 more days to win once more. :-) 

Hi @BlueJaysMVP33 - We're only retiring our daily Free Play platform. Our in-house contests (Streak Survivor, King of Covers, and Office Pools) aren't changing. 

Hi @Ken_Adams - Our in-house contests (Streak Survivor, King of Covers, and Office Pools) aren't affected by this closure, so you definitely have more than 17 days to win!  

So the new MLB 5X5 contest will only be for this month?

Hi @revnecro1273 - Yes, that's correct. You can always join our free King of Covers MLB contest (if you haven't already) to get your baseball fix. 

Years ago I had won an IPAD, and I never received it. Sent several messages telling them about it, and nothing was ever done about it.

@Covers-Team

 Thank you for allowing be to be a part of the team of players. You guys are the best. Thank You!!

@Camby1

 You don't have to worry about this. These are the games that everyone can still play.

Our in-house contests aren’t affected by this closure. You can continue testing your handicapping skills with Covers’ free Streak Survivor, King of Covers, and Office Pool contests.

They're talking about the daily contest where every day is a new contest. Good luck!

Thank you for all the free contests that you put out for us to play. It has been fun and very enjoyable.
