How does the EGT Showdown tournament work on Playabets?

Short Answer: The EGT Showdown on Playabets is a network tournament with a R3,000,000 prize pool. It runs for four weeks, featuring weekly leaderboards and a final leaderboard for the Top 30 players across the month. Your points are based on your win multiplier, not the rand amount, meaning a R2 spin can outscore a R200 spin.

To participate, you must play any EGT Digital game with real money for a minimum bet of R2 per spin.

1. How the Scoring Works

According to the Playabets promotion terms, points are calculated as: (winnings divided by bet) multiplied by 100. For example, a R2 bet that wins R20 scores 1,000 points, which is the same as a R100 bet that wins R1,000. This levels the playing field for all budgets. You must opt in via the tournament widget to enter, and ties are broken by a tie-break rule.

2. Eligibility and Final Leaderboard

Players must be 18 or older, live in South Africa, and hold a FICA-verified Playabets account in good standing. Self-excluded players, duplicate accounts, and staff of Playabets or EGT Digital and their families are not allowed. The Top 30 players across the four weeks qualify for the final leaderboard, which determines the big finish. The prize pool is funded in full by EGT Digital.
