Limits worth knowing in stickK
- stickK keeps 50% of forfeited stakes sent to an anti-charity, plus contract costs, under its contract terms last updated June 12, 2024.
- Those terms removed a $5 creation fee and ended charity and friend-or-foe recipients for new contracts; older help articles still describe all three.
- A contract cannot be deleted once it begins; the terms allow cancellation only with a physician's medical excuse form.
- Prices for the paid Campaign plans (All-access and Pro) are not published in the help center; they appear inside a Campaign admin account.
