Fantasy HLL is a free game of skill played for fun and bragging rights. There are currently no prizes, giveaways, cash, or items of value attached to playing. A supporter membership is a way to support the channel — it is not an entry fee, and it does not buy points, wins, or any advantage.
You draft 8 players (plus reserves) from a live or scheduled Hell Let Loose match under a coin salary cap. Your lineup earns fantasy points from those players' real, publicly observed in-game performance. Standings, Head-to-Head results, and league tables are for entertainment and friendly competition only. You can draft for any live game we flag, as well as upcoming scheduled matches and weekly events.
Two things on the site use the word “coins,” and neither is real money nor has any cash value:
• Salary-cap coins are a pretend budget you spend to draft your 8 players — they exist only to balance lineups.
• Prize Coins are virtual, bragging-rights points awarded to the top finishers when a contest banks. They are
not real money, not redeemable, not withdrawable, and cannot be purchased, sold, traded, gifted, or exchanged for
cash, goods, or anything of value. They exist purely to rank players on a leaderboard for fun. There are no cash prizes
and no items of value attached to earning them — the reward is bragging rights, nothing more.
• You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age in your country).
• Browsing and building a lineup is free. To submit a lineup you must be an active
YouTube channel member, Twitch subscriber, or Buy Me a Coffee member — verified through that
platform. Membership is support for the channel, not a wager or entry fee.
• One account and one lineup per contest. Do not create multiple accounts to gain an advantage.
• Don't attempt to manipulate scoring, exploit bugs, or interfere with the service.
• Be respectful — no harassment, hate, or impersonation in team names, handles, league names, or messages.
SmithersCast may remove content, void lineups, or suspend access for conduct that breaks these rules.
SmithersCast's scoring and eligibility decisions are final.
• Live scores shown during a match are unofficial and provisional — they may be delayed (to protect
against stream spoilers), and players can disconnect or matches can restart.
• Final scores settle after the match is validated and banked.
• Scoring rules have a version number; we may correct mistakes or re-score a contest, and material
corrections are noted. Because the rules can change over time, scores from different dates aren't always directly
comparable.
Fantasy HLL, the prediction/vote tools, and the match simulator are provided for entertainment and discussion only. There is no wagering, betting, staking, or prize value of any kind — including the virtual Prize Coins, which carry no cash value and cannot be redeemed for anything. Win-probability figures and community forecasts are model projections and fan opinion — not guarantees and not odds for betting.
SmithersCast does not currently offer prizes. If a giveaway, prize, or reward is ever introduced, it will be governed by its own complete Official Rules published before it begins, and those rules will be reviewed by qualified legal counsel first. Any such promotion would, at minimum:
• include a free method of entry — NO PURCHASE OR MEMBERSHIP NECESSARY — so that paying/supporting is
never required to be eligible to win;
• be a contest of skill (best lineup wins), not a game of chance;
• state the sponsor (SmithersCast), the eligibility, the entry period, how winners are determined and
notified, and the prize details;
• be void where prohibited or restricted by law, and comply with the rules of YouTube, Twitch, Buy Me a
Coffee, and any platform used to run or promote it.
We may update these rules; material changes are reflected by the "Last updated" date above. See also our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Questions can be emailed to us or sent via the SmithersCast Discord.
