Casino tournaments explained: leaderboards, prize pools and slot races

How Cursed Captain's tournament works

It runs weekly, from Monday 00:00 UTC to Sunday 00:00 UTC. Prizes are paid as bonus money or free spins. A recent edition, the Cursed Gold Rush, had a $5,000 pool.

1. Opt in from the Tournaments page.
2. Wager on qualifying games to earn points.
3. Prizes go to the top ranks automatically when it ends.

Drops & Wins and studio races

Studios such as Pragmatic Play also run network promotions: random prize drops and daily tournaments across their games, open to players at many casinos at once. Check the game's info panel to see if a studio promotion is live.

Tips

• Read how points are scored: per bet, per win multiplier or per spin.
• Pick a qualifying game you would play anyway.
• Set a budget; chasing a leaderboard spot is still gambling.
