Win + Give Back

Victory with purpose

WIN BIG

Jackpots that keep growing

Every membership fee feeds the jackpot. If no one wins in a month, it rolls over — meaning jackpots can grow to tens of thousands of dollars.

When you pick correctly, you split the pot with other winners. The more obscure your pick, the fewer people likely chose them, and the bigger your share.

GIVE BACK

Every win supports real causes

10% of every jackpot goes directly to charity. But here's what makes us different: you decide where it goes.

Each month, members vote on which charity receives the donation. Higher membership tiers get more votes, giving you more say in where the money goes.

It's entertainment with purpose. Win or lose, you're making a real difference.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this legal?

Yes. Dead Certain Club is an entertainment platform, not gambling. You're not betting on outcomes — you're making predictions for prizes. We operate in compliance with Australian entertainment regulations. Not available in the USA.

How is the jackpot calculated?

The jackpot is built from membership fees each month. 80% goes to the prize pool, 10% to charity, and 10% covers platform operations. If no one wins, the jackpot rolls over to the next month.

What happens if multiple people pick the same celebrity?

The jackpot is split equally among all winners who correctly predicted the outcome. More winners = smaller individual prizes, but everyone who got it right gets paid.

How do you verify deaths?

We use multiple verified news sources and official announcements. A death must be confirmed by at least two reputable outlets before results are processed. This typically happens within 24-48 hours.

Can I change my picks after submitting?

Yes, you can change your picks until the monthly lock-in deadline (typically the 5th of each month). After that, picks are final for the month.

How does the charity component work?

Each month, members vote on which charity receives 10% of the jackpot. Higher membership tiers get more votes. Past recipients include Cancer Council Australia, Beyond Blue, and various local charities.
