Because players can enter into Colossus Fantasy contests with fractional stakes and in different currencies, we need a common ‘currency’ to count and display contributions – the Unit.
A Unit is (typically) equal to a $10 line*. So if your currency is USD ($), it follows that if you choose a:
$10 stake per line, each line counts as 1 unit
$5 stake per line, each line counts as 0.5 unit
$2 stake per line, each line counts as 0.2 unit
$1 stake per line, each line counts as 0.1 unit
Unit information throughout our site is displayed in USD ($) units. This means that if you place an entry in a currency other than USD ($), your entry is counted and displayed as less than a USD ($) unit (per line) in the relevant contest. For example, if you choose a €10 stake per line, each line counts as [0.9] units (the exact figure fluctuates based on currency exchange rates). This, however, does not affect your payout, which is always displayed in your currency.
* Except in some contests where the Unit can be equal to values such as $5. See the Maximum Stake for that contest for the Unit value.
