Earn N' Burn Fantasy Sports — All Sports, All Seasons
Effective: 2026 Season · Last Updated: May 2026
Earn N' Burn is a season-long paid fantasy sports contest. Contestants pay a one-time entry fee before the season begins and compete against the entire national field for the full duration of the season. There are no head-to-head matchups — every contestant is ranked on the same leaderboard.
The defining mechanic of Earn N' Burn is the single-use player rule: once a player is placed in a contestant's active lineup and their game begins, that player is considered burned and may not be used again for the remainder of the season. Contestants must manage their available players strategically across the full season.
Earn N' Burn launched with the 2026 NFL season and plans to expand into additional sports in future seasons.
Earn N' Burn contests are open to legal residents of the United States and Canada (excluding Quebec and Ontario), subject to the restrictions below. Contestants must not be employees, contractors, or immediate family members of employees or contractors of Earn N' Burn Fantasy Sports.

Entry is completed through the registration form at enbfantasy.com. Contestants must provide accurate personal information including full legal name, date of birth, mailing address, and email address.
Entry Fee: Entry fees for Earn N' Burn contests will vary for each sport and may include different challenges such as weekly events. The entry fee for each contest is displayed on the contest page prior to registration. All entry fees are in U.S. Dollars (USD).
Entry Deadline: Each sport's contest will have its own entry deadline, which will be announced on the Earn N' Burn website when that sport's season approaches. Entry deadlines and any associated cutoff details will be published on the contest page for that sport.
All entry fees are non‑refundable once the season has begun. If a contestant is found to be ineligible after payment has been received, their entry may be voided and a refund may be issued. See the Refund Policy for full details.
Earn N' Burn does not use a traditional roster. There is no draft and no roster that contestants own outright. Instead, all eligible players in the joined contest league are available to every contestant at the start of the season.
A contestant's available players are simply the players they have not yet burned. At the start of the season, every contestant has access to the full pool of eligible players. Each week, a contestant selects their active lineup from that pool. Once the game for any player in that lineup begins, that player is burned— permanently removed from that contestant's available pool for the rest of the season.
As the season progresses and more players are burned, each contestant's pool of available players shrinks. Managing this pool — knowing when to deploy your best players and when to preserve them — is the central strategic challenge of Earn N' Burn.
Each week, contestants submit an active lineup from their available players. The lineup structure varies by sport. The number of slots, positions, and eligible player types are defined for each sport and published on that sport's contest page before the season opens. Sport-specific lineup details are covered in each sport's supplemental rules.
Lineup lock behavior varies by sport and is designed to reflect the natural structure of each sport's schedule. Sport-specific lock rules are covered in each sport's supplemental rules section. The general principles that apply across all sports are as follows:
A contestant who does not have a complete lineup submitted at the time of lock will receive zero points for any unfilled slots in that game period.
Scoring rules vary by sport and are published for each contest within each sport's home page. Contestants should review the scoring system for their specific sport before submitting a lineup.
Earn N' Burn does not use cumulative point totals as the primary season standing. Instead, it uses a weekly ranking system where a lower score is better.
At the conclusion of the season, final standings are determined by each contestant's total accumulated weekly ranking score (lowest wins). In the event of a tie in final season standings, the following tiebreakers are applied in order, starting with #1. Each tiebreaker is only used if the previous one does not resolve the tie — once a tiebreaker produces a winner, the process stops. If the tie remains after all four tiebreakers, the prize is split equally:
Tiebreaker rules apply to all prize positions, not just first place.
Prize pool amounts and payout structures vary by sport and contest. The full payout breakdown for each contest is published on that sport's Prizes page before the season opens. All prizes are paid in U.S. Dollars (USD).
Payout Timeline: Prizes are paid after the season has concluded and all scores have been verified. Payouts are processed automatically via Earn N' Burn's third‑party payment processor to the payment method on file for your account. No prize will be issued until verification is complete. Winners subject to tax reporting must also submit a completed W‑9 before payment is released.
Contestants are permitted to submit more than one entry per season. Each entry requires a separate registration, a unique Login ID, a unique Team Name, and a separate entry fee payment. Each entry competes independently on the leaderboard.
When submitting multiple entries, a contestant's personal information — including legal name, address, date of birth, and email — will be the same across all entries, as it belongs to the same individual. Each entry simply requires its own unique Login ID and Team Name. What is strictly prohibited is falsifying or misrepresenting personal information in order to circumvent eligibility requirements or conceal multiple entries. Any contestant found to have done so will have all associated entries disqualified.
Earn N' Burn reserves the right to amend these rules at any time. Material changes will be communicated to registered contestants via the email address provided at registration. Continued participation after notice of a rule change constitutes acceptance of the updated rules.
