Claim 2: “Must be 18+ (19+ in AL, NE; 19+ in CO for some games; 21+ in AZ, MA, and VA) and present in a state where Underdog Fantasy operates.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence contains web search results discussing age requirements (e.g., 21+ for Icelandair, general age discussions) and Wikipedia articles about US outlines, but no single source corroborates the specific, complex set of age variations listed (18+ generally, 19+ in AL, NE; 21+ in AZ, MA, and VA) across multiple independent sources.

Claim 3: “Offer not valid in MD, MI, NJ, NY, OH, and PA.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence contains web search results discussing regional ineligibility for offers (e.g., 'Local offer ineligible for region'), which supports the concept of exclusion by state. However, no source confirms that the specific list of excluded states (MD, MI, NJ, NY, OH, and PA) is definitively correct or comprehensive.

Claim 4: “With the Underdog promo code NYPOST, first time fantasy users on the platform are granted a worthwhile welcome offer at sign-up: Play $5, get $50 in fantasy bonus entries.”
MISLEADING
Multiple web search results confirm the existence of the promo code NYPOST and the structure of the offer (Play $5, get bonus entries). However, the evidence shows conflicting bonus amounts ($50 vs. $75), making the specific claim of '$50' potentially inaccurate or outdated, even though the core mechanism is supported by multiple sources.

Claim 5: “Dallas, slightly favored at -120 in Game 1, finished eight points ahead of Minnesota as the No. 2 and 3 seeds of the Central Division.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence provided contains general information about the Dallas Stars and Minnesota teams (one Wikipedia entry mentions the Lynx in Dallas, and another mentions the Stars and Minnesota North Stars), but none of the sources confirm the specific details of a Game 1 matchup, the -120 point spread, or the exact 8-point margin of victory between the two teams mentioned in the claim.
