Q: What is the Official NRL Tipping competition?
A: Official NRL Tipping is a FREE, fun and exciting interactive tipping competition, the premise being simple. You'll get the opportunity to take on friends, colleagues and relatives in your very own private Comps to test your tipping prowess. With your single entry, you'll also be playing nationally against everyone else in the competition, as well as everyone from your state of origin and other supporters of your club.
With a single registration, you can play in the general tipping competition, and check out the Tipping Eliminator and One Team Tip games for an all-new and unique challenge like never before.
Q: How many times can I enter? A: You may only register and enter each of the games ONCE. Anyone registered more than once in any one game at any stage of the competition may be disqualified as indicated in the official Game Rules and Terms of Use.
Q: I am currently not an Australian resident. Can I still enter and play? A: You are more than welcome to participate in the games, even if you're not a resident of Australia. Please refer to the official Terms and Conditions for prize eligibility details.
Q: I've forgotten my password, what can I do? A: Please click on the 'Lost password' link near the login panel to have a password reset link sent to you.
Q: I'm registered, but I'm having problems logging in. A: You must only login with the original email address that you have registered with. If you are unsure about your password, you can request a password reset by clicking here. We'll email you password reset instructions to your registered email address within a few minutes. Please check your Spam or Junk mail folder if it hasn't arrived in your inbox. If you don't receive our password reset email, then it's likely that you are using an incorrect email address or there?s an issue with your registration. If this is the case, please contact us, providing as much detail about your registration so that we may determine what may be at fault.
Q: I have a new email address. Can you change my login details? A: You can actually change your login details directly at the Official NRL Tipping web site. Simply login with your current details, and then click on the "SETTINGS" button, which can be found in the main game menu near the top left of the screen. You can change your login email and/or password there.
Q: Can I change my Alias name? A: Yes, although only for a limited time prior to the start of competition. Your alias name is your unique identifier in the game and cannot be changed at latter stages of the competition.

Q: How I do create an office Comp, or a group where I can compete against my friends? A: If you've been invited to join a group by a friend or relative, please use the information that was emailed to you to join that Comp. If not, you will be given the option to create your own Comp and invite other friends and relatives to join your Comp, on registration. You can be a part of up to five Comps.
Q: I've found out that all of my friends are in another Comp. How do I swap Comps so I can play against them? Can you move my entry for me? A: You can swap Comps on the Comps page by clicking on the 'CREATE/JOIN' (to join an additional Comp) or 'LEAVE' (leave your current Comp and join the new one) buttons and entering the desired Comp Code in the box provided on your Comp page, at any time.
Q: How do I enter a new public Comp? A: To enter a new public Comp, you will need to create one. In your Comps page, simply click on the 'CREATE/JOIN' button and follow the instructions. That Comp will then be merged with other tipping entries after the publishing of the next round's results.
Q: How do I leave a Comp? A: In your Comps page, simply click on the 'LEAVE' button to leave a Comp. Please note, you must be in at least one Comp.
Q: Why can't I invite people into my Comp? A: If you have been invited into a Private Comp, then only the Comp's creator has the ability to invite more people into that league from their Comps page.
Q: Can I remove people from my Comp? A: If you are a Private Comp creator, you will have the option to remove people from your Comp.
Q: Do I win a prize for coming first in my private/public Comp? A: No. Unfortunately due to the enormous amount of users/Comps in the overall competition, it is virtually impossible to organise and award prizes to winners in each Comp.
Q: Can I change the name of the Comp that I created? A: Your Comp name is a unique identifier in the game and can only be changed prior to your Comp's first round of play.
Q: The Comp that I was in is now different, or its name changed... Why? A: We may add entries, or merge Comps where they do not attract enough competitors. All care will be taken to ensure that all original entries that you had in your Comp will still be there, in addition to new ones. Your Comp name may therefore change based on these movements.
Q: I just joined. Why wasn't I added to a Comp, and where is the option to create one? A: Everyone who signs up for Official NRL Tipping will be a part of a Comp. Look for the "Comps" link and button in the menu bar on the left to access your Comps.
Q. How do I view the rankings for this past round only? A. You can re-sort the rankings for any past round by simply selecting the desired round in the 'LATEST ROUND RANKINGS' menu above the rankings list. Use the 'SEASON LEADERBOARD' menu to view overall rankings up to any completed round. Select from the comprehensive options to view rankings for any of the overall, state of origin or supported club leagues.
