New York – September 14, 2026 -- EDGE Markets has partnered with Splash Sports to deploy its EDGE Connect settlement network across the platform's $21 million guaranteed NFL Survivor contest, enabling eligible players to move up to $1 million a day in and out of their accounts around the clock.
EDGE Connect replaces bank-dependent funding with real-time transfers
The closed-loop network lets eligible EDGE Boost customers fund Splash Sports accounts without the transaction limits, processing delays and fees typical of traditional banking rails. EDGE Markets says the capability is designed for players moving money on nights, weekends and ahead of Sunday kickoffs, when conventional bank transfers lag.
Contest economics create high-frequency capital movement
Splash Sports' 2026 NFL Survivor contest carries a $1,000 entry fee, allows up to 150 entries per player, and offers a $21 million guaranteed prize pool. The platform also runs a $3 million guaranteed contest and entries starting at $5. New Marketplace and Team Entries features, which let players buy and sell entry stakes and pool group entries, require repeated fund movement throughout the season rather than a single deposit at sign-up. Entries were building toward a September 13 deadline at the time of the announcement.
