The Sun Dream Team 2025/26
WE offer our classic Dream Team fantasy football game as well as additional games via the website and app. All capitalised terms are defined either in the Glossary on the Games Rules page, in section 6 of the General Terms & Conditions, or within these Dream Team Loyalty Programme terms and conditions (the " Loyalty Programme Terms"). This page includes specific terms for the Dream Team Loyalty Programme and should be read alongside the General Terms & Conditions, the Game Rules and the Privacy Policy; together, they form the Dream Team Terms & Conditions that you are agreeing to. If there is any inconsistency between the General Terms & Conditions and the Loyalty Programme Terms then the General Terms & Conditions apply to the extent of the inconsistency. SECTION 1: DESCRIPTION The Dream Team Loyalty Programme rewards users for engaging with the Games and for hitting achievements and performance targets in those Games. Achievements in the Games are rewarded with virtual badges (as described further in section 2.4, (" Badges")) and experience points (" XP"), which allow you to progress through the various levels (the ' XP Levels ') all the way up to XP Level 6, as described further in section 2.2. Your XP Level will determine your eligibility for entry into one or more prize draws, which are made monthly from August 2025 to July 2026 (the ' Prize Draws '). The terms and conditions for all of the Prize Draws are set out at section 3. SECTION 2: HOW IT WORKS 2.1 How to participate All eligible participants registered for the Games are automatically enrolled in the Loyalty Programme and applicable Prize Draws for the duration of the Game Year. You can earn XP by playing the Games and recording specific achievements. The number of XP you obtain will determine your XP Level (starting at XP Level 0 and moving up to XP Level 6). There are separate Prize Draws for each XP Level, and the frequency of such Prize Draws and the corresponding prizes for each Prize Draw are set out at section 3.2 (" Loyalty Programme Prizes"). 2.2 Levels and XP requirements All registered players will start on 0 XP and XP Level 0. The following XP are required to reach a new Level: XP level Minimum XP required 1 100 2 800 3 1500 4 2500 5 4000 6 6500 2.3 Where to find Level and XP details Your XP and XP Level, (as well as your Badges and trophies) are displayed on the Dream Team Hub. 2.4 How to Earn XP and Badges You can earn XP in two ways: either through performance in the Games, or by collecting Badges, based on specific actions and achievements, as detailed in the following sections: 2.4.1 Performance XP earned by playing the Games are awarded in the following ways: Fantasy Game - you will earn 1 XP for every point that your team gains. For example, if your team gains 135 points in a Gameweek, you will receive 135 XP. Score Predictor - you will earn 4 XP for every Score Predictor point gained. For example, if you gain 10 points in a Matchweek, you will receive 40 XP. Women's Euros Score Predictor - you will earn 4 XP for every Score Predictor point gained. For example, if you gain 10 points in a Matchday, you will receive 40 XP. Higher or Lower? - You will earn 1, 3 or 5 XP for 5, 10 or 15 correct answers in a row, respectively. Last Man Standing - you will earn 10 XP for every correct prediction in the Prize Leagues and Challenge League. 2.4.2 Badges Badges will be awarded based on completing specified actions and achievement for Games, and XP will be awarded by collecting the available Badges. New Badges may be added if new Games are introduced throughout the Game Year.

The team Badge and XP can only be awarded once for each team. Each Badge is only available once and, once awarded to you, that Badge cannot be re-rewarded to you by repeating the same action or achievement. 2.5 Trophies Trophies are virtual rewards given for achievements such as winning a Weekly Leaderboard or winning a Mini League in our Fantasy Game, finishing in the top 5% of the overall Score Predictor Leaderboard or completing a streak in Higher or Lower?. However, no additional XP is awarded for trophies and so they will not improve your XP Level or eligibility for Prize Draws. Trophies will remain in your profile for future Game Years, even after XP and XP Levels have been reset. SECTION 3: PRIZE DRAW 3.1 Prize Draw Overview As part of our Loyalty Programme, we will run Prize Draws each month (starting from August 2025) during the Game Year. Please see section 3.2 for details of the schedule for the Prize Draws. You will automatically be entered into each Prize Draw that you qualify for, depending on your XP Level at the relevant " Closing Date" for each month (as set out in the table at section 3.2). Please see section 3.3 for more details on the Closing Dates and XP Levels required for each Prize Draw. If your XP Level qualifies you to enter into the corresponding Prize Draw for that XP Level, then you will automatically be entered into all subsequent Prize Draws for that XP Level. For example, if you obtain 932 XP (i.e. XP Level 2) on 31 October 2025, you will be placed into the Prize Draws for both XP Level 1 and XP Level 2 for October 2025, and then all subsequent Prize Draws for XP Level 1 and XP Level 2 until the end of the Game Year. If you reach a higher XP Level, you will also be entered into additional Prize Draws for the relevant XP Level. 3.2 Prize Draw Schedule Starting in August 2025, there are a minimum of one and a maximum of six Prize Draws in each month of the Game Year), each with one Loyalty Programme Prize. Please see the schedule for the Prize Draws in the list below.
