Shut down 15 July 2025 - we are not advertising a dead product
No offer shownWe have withdrawn the Vivid Picks offer in United States
No bonus is shown here on purpose. Vivid Picks shut down over a year before we caught it. Its own site, vividpicks.com, states plainly: on 15 July 2025 it stopped accepting new cash deposits and closed operations, with existing customers able to spend down wallet balances only through 18 July 2025. Vivid Seats, the parent company, confirmed on its Q2 2025 earnings call that the shutdown was a cost-saving move - the DFS product was not driving engagement as hoped, weighed against its competitive position, margin and the regulatory environment. We had a '$100 deposit match' welcome bonus live on this page for a product that has not accepted a deposit in a year. We are not aware of any successor product a reader should be pointed to instead.
We removed it on 20 July 2026. We would rather show you nothing than point you at an offer we cannot stand behind, so there is no sign-up link on this page. See every licensed betting site in United States →
Pros
Cons
- Shut down 15 July 2025 - stopped accepting new deposits
- No successor DFS product from parent company Vivid Seats found
- Our previous rating advertised a live bonus for a product that had already closed
Our verdict
We rated Vivid Picks 7.4 and were advertising a live $100 deposit-match bonus for a product that had shut down more than a year earlier - that figure is no longer claimable and never should have been shown. That is the headline, and it happened because the previous review rested on a single affiliate promo-code page that never mentioned the closure. The shutdown itself is not in doubt. Vivid Picks' own site states that on 15 July 2025 it stopped accepting new cash deposits and closed operations, with existing customers able to spend down wallet balances only through 18 July 2025. Independently, the parent company - Vivid Seats, listed on Nasdaq as SEAT - confirmed the closure on its own Q2 2025 earnings call, describing it as a cost-saving move: the daily fantasy product was not driving engagement as hoped, weighed against its competitive position, margin relative to the rest of the business, and the regulatory environment. Vivid Picks itself had a short run under that name - it was a 2022 rebrand of Betcha Sports, which Vivid Seats acquired in December 2021, so the whole Vivid Picks era lasted under three years before winding down. We found no successor daily fantasy product from Vivid Seats to send readers to in its place. We have withdrawn the offer and kept this page only so anyone searching the brand finds the closure stated plainly.
How we rated it
Trust & licensing (27%)2
The parent company, Vivid Seats, is a real Nasdaq-listed business (SEAT) that closed this specific product in an orderly way, confirmed on its own earnings call - existing users were given a wind-down window rather than simply cut off. That is better than an operator vanishing outright, but it does not make the product usable.
Customer support (18%)2
No active product means no active support relationship to assess.
DFS Platform (36%)1
There is no product to assess. Vivid Picks stopped accepting deposits on 15 July 2025.
Bonuses & value (18%)1
Cut from whatever it was. There is nowhere to claim a deposit match on a platform that has not accepted a deposit in over a year.

How we verified this
One thing we could not establish: who owns and operates this brand. The rest of this review is sourced, but an operator we cannot name is one you cannot hold to account.
Closure confirmed on the operator's own site rather than an aggregator, and corroborated independently by the parent company's own investor earnings call - two unrelated primary sources agreeing, not one summary repeated.

About Vivid Picks
Vivid Picks was a US daily fantasy sports platform owned by Vivid Seats (Nasdaq: SEAT), itself a 2022 rebrand of Betcha Sports, which Vivid Seats had acquired in December 2021. It shut down on 15 July 2025: its own site states it stopped accepting new cash deposits that day and closed operations, giving existing customers until 18 July 2025 to spend down wallet balances. Vivid Seats confirmed the closure on its Q2 2025 earnings call as a cost-saving decision. We do not advertise a welcome bonus for a product that has not accepted a deposit in over a year, and we found no successor DFS product to point readers to instead.
