Payment is £1.00 per week to be paid on or before the Friday of each week.
75p of each £1.00 is put in the main pot
25p of each £1.00 is put in the side pot
If payment for a week is missed, this must be paid for before subsequent weeks can be paid.
If your selected celebrity dies and you have not paid in that week, then you have to select a new celebrity as your selection is void and no monies will be paid.
If payment is not received from a member for 5 consecutive weeks then their membership will be cancelled.
Selection of a celebrity:
Selections cannot be made from the Excluded list.
New memberships must be approved by 75% of the existing membership after submitting who they wish to select as their celebrity.
New members must pay upfront 75p for all the preceding weeks since the main pot was last won
New members must pay upfront 25p per week since the side pot was last won.
When a celebrity is selected for the main pot and accepted by the membership there is a 2 week excess period before the member can benefit from their death
Celebrity deaths:
The main pot is paid if a selection in the main list dies
The side pot is paid if a selection in the excluded list dies
If two or more selections from the same list are reported to have died on the same day then that pot will be shared equally between those with the correct selections.
When a celebrity dies the winnings are held for 7 days to ensure no other eligible claims can be made for the money.
When a celebrity dies, winnings are paid out the available funds for that pot. Anyone owing money to the pot will be chased for the balance and further payment made to the winning member once outstanding balances are received.
