Keep Your Million (KYM) is where you start with a virtual $1,000,000 pot and try to hold onto as much of it as possible by making picks on player prop questions. It's simple to play, but a few of the mechanics are worth understanding before you dive in. Note: any funds left over from the 20 questions are yours in cash.
How the Game Works
1. Start with $1,000,000 Every player begins the game with a virtual $1,000,000 pot.
2. Answer a player pick question. You'll be shown multiple picks, like "Will Tarik Skubal have HIGHER or LOWER than 7.5 strikeouts?" — and you choose one and pick a side.
3. Split your pot however you like. Here's the twist: you don't have to go all-in on one side. You can split your pot between HIGHER and LOWER any way you want — for example, $600,000 on HIGHER and $400,000 on LOWER.
4. Keep the winning side. Once the question settles, whatever amount you put on the winning side becomes your new pot going into the next question. Money on the losing side is gone.
5. Complete all 20 questions. You must answer all 20 questions — If your pot ever hits $0, the game ends.
6. Keep what's left. Survive all 20 questions with money remaining, and you keep whatever's left in your pot. Note: all funds will be paid out as cash
Getting Started
Once you start the game, you'll have 60 days to complete all your picks. If you don't finish within that window, the game ends with no payout, so don't let it sit too long once you've started.

I can't find the game in the app.
Keep Your Million is only available on the latest version of the Underdog app. Make sure your app is fully updated, then check the home screen promo carousel.
I don't understand how the game works.
You start with a virtual $1,000,000. For each question, you split that money between the two possible outcomes however you like. Whatever you have riding on the winning side carries forward to the next question. If your pot hits $0, the game is over. Survive all 20 questions and you keep whatever's left.
Can I change my pick after I've split my pot?
No. Once a pick is locked in, it can't be changed. Picks lock before the game starts, so double-check your split before confirming.
Can I stop playing early and still receive a payout?
If the current value of your game is greater than $20, you'll be presented with a cash out option before your next question.
Important: the "current value" of your game is not the same as your "current remaining pot."
If you don't see a cash out option, it means your current value hasn't crossed the $20 threshold yet.
What happens if a player doesn't play, or the market is voided?
If a player doesn't play, or the market for that question is voided, your pot carries over unaffected and you move on to the next question.
I lost. Can I get another game?
No — each customer receives one Keep Your Million game per entry period. There's no way to restart. Once your pot hits $0, the game ends.
What happens if a question gets regraded?
If a question result is corrected after settlement, your pot is recalculated based on the corrected result. If you'd busted out because of an incorrect settlement, your pot would be reinstated with the corrected outcome factored in.
I deposited, but the game hasn't unlocked yet.
There can occasionally be a short delay after depositing. Give it about 30 minutes — if it's still locked after that, reach out to support with your account details.
My results screen disappeared before I could see it.
You can still view your results after they've posted, even if you missed the initial banner. Check the promo carousel for a "Check your results" card. If that's also missing, contact support.
I haven't received a push notification about my pick settling.
Push notifications for individual pick settlements aren't sent for every result. Check back in the app to see how your pick settled rather than waiting on a notification.
What happens if a player leaves early?
Unlike with Pick'em, Keep Your Million picks are not eligible for Rescues. The player would be graded as normal. For example: If a player left early, and the pot was split between $600,000 for the higher and $400,000 for the lower - if the player's higher does not win, then the $400,000 becomes the new amount for the pot.
