$10M In Guaranteed Prizes Up For Grabs In Circa Sports’ Football Contests

Circa Sports is set to host two of Nevada’s most significant pro football contests once again. With a combined total of $10 million in guaranteed prizes for participants in the Circa Sports Million and Circa Survivor contests, this year’s prize pool is the largest ever guaranteed in Nevada’s pro football contest history.

Circa Sports will not subtract any administration fee once again. All the money collected from contest entry fees will be given back to the participants who qualify for a prize. Any excess funds will be returned to the contest winners.

Third year for Circa football pics contest

Circa Sports Million was launched in 2019. The company expanded their offerings last year by introducing the Circa Survivor contest. The combined success of the traditional pro football handicapping contest and the new survivor contest led Circa Sports to raise the stakes this year. The total guaranteed prize pools for both contests last year were less than half of what they are this year.

Stevens stated, “The past years have seen an overwhelming demand for our contests, indicating that we needed to return on a grander and more impressive scale. Last year, we assured $3 million in payouts for Circa Million, but this year we’re aiming for $4 million. Our Survivor contest previously stood at $1 million, but this year, we’re escalating it to a record-breaking $6 million. With a total guaranteed prize pool of $10 million, 2021 promises to be a thrilling and competitive year for football betting at Circa Sports.”

Sign-ups at all Circa Sports Nevada locations start on May 28. This year, Circa Sports has added two more locations.

• Resort & Casino Circa
• Hotel & Casino Golden Gate
• Las Vegas’s The D
• Casino & Suites Tuscany
• The Water Street Passage

This year, those who already have a Circa Sports mobile sports betting account can register for competitions without needing to visit a casino. Contestants also have the option to submit their choices through the Circa Sports app. Those not residing in the state can employ a proxy to make weekly selections after they have registered in person.

How to play Circa Sports Million III

Anyone who participates in Circa Sports Millions III can win prizes. To enter, each participant must pay a fee of $1,000 per entry, with a maximum of three entries allowed per participant. Registration opens on May 28 and closes at 2 pm on the first Saturday of NFL Week 1.

Each week, contestants are required to make five NFL picks against the spread. A correct pick earns a player one point, while a push earns half a point. If a player fails to submit their picks before the weekly deadline, they will be awarded no points.

The top 50 season scores will receive cash prizes. Additionally, cash prizes will also be given to the top 3 scores in each season quarter, the season’s last-place score, and the last-place score in each season quarter, as previously specified.

Every Thursday around 10 am, contest point spreads will be posted. For most weeks, selections should be submitted by 3 pm each Saturday. However, during Thanksgiving week, point spreads will be posted at 10 am on Wednesday.

How much are Circa Survivor payouts?

The second season of Circa Survivor is back, offering a total of $6 million in guaranteed payouts. This one-of-a-kind pro football survivor competition also features an “Undefeated Prize” of $1 million.

This competition differs from most survivor contests, featuring up to 20 legs spread throughout the year rather than the typical weekly games. Furthermore, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day each count as a separate contest week.

An entrant must choose a team playing in the final game on Week 18 to qualify for the $1 million undefeated bonus prize. Week 18 marks the end of the season for both the professional football schedule and the Circa Survivor contest.

In this contest, akin to others of its kind, participants will select a unique team every week to win outright. Participants are not allowed to select the same team more than once throughout the season. An entry is considered a loss if a selection is wrong.

Participants can submit up to six entries, each costing $1,000. Selections must be made every Saturday by 3 pm PT or prior to the start of the chosen game, whichever comes first. However, there are some exceptions:

For Thanksgiving Day, please submit your picks by 10 pm PT on the Wednesday night before. For Christmas Day, the deadline is 10 pm PT on the preceding Friday night. For December 26th, make sure to submit your picks by 9 am PT on Sunday, December 26th.
