Yes we did a buy in for the football pool last year. That is the only one I am going to have buy ins for. The rest will be zap the pot.

The buy in goes to the SN wallet and that wallet is the same one that pays out the prize.

I am a bit apprehensive about doing a lot of buy in contests though because that could be construed as gambling since people have to pay to enter whereas zapping the pot is voluntary so I prefer that option but will keep the buy in for the football pool because I want the pot to be big so everyone should put the same amount to be fair in giving out a big prize.
