Circa Sports Breaks Own Guarantee Record with $10 Million Prize Pool for Circa Survivor and $6 Million for Circa Million VI
Circa Sports has elevated the excitement once more. The Nevada-based sports betting brand is reintroducing its renowned professional football contests, Circa Million VI and Circa Survivor, with an unprecedented $16 million payout and no rake. Signups begin on May 24 at 9 a.m. in all Circa Sports locations across Nevada, marking the largest prize pool ever for these contests.
“This year, it’s go big or go home with the Circa Sports contests,” said Circa Sports CEO Derek Stevens. “We only have ourselves to top, so we’re back with the biggest guarantee yet. With a whopping $16 million, no rake, up for grabs, we are excited to see what craziness this football season holds.”
For the 2024-2025 season, Circa Survivor will return with a $10 million prize guarantee, and Circa Million VI will offer a $6 million guarantee. Sign-ups commence on May 24 at 9 a.m. at all Circa Sports Nevada locations and continue until September 7 at 2 p.m., during the first week of the professional football season.
About Circa Survivor
The Circa Survivor contest winner will secure $10 million guaranteed, with the potential for more if entries exceed this amount.
Circa Survivor comprises up to 20 legs throughout the season, one for each week of the football season plus two special holiday weeks. Each week, participants select a team to win straight up, but cannot pick the same team twice for the duration of the season. Thanksgiving + Black Friday and the Christmas leg (Wednesday/Thursday games) will each be their own contest weeks.
Entries cost $1,000 each, with a maximum of 10 entries per participant. Additional entries can be purchased if original entries are lost on the opening Thursday or Friday night games. All entrants receive a Circa Survivor 2024 hat.
Entries are eliminated if the selected team loses or ties its game that week. If more than one entry remains after 20 legs, the pool is split equally among all the remaining entries. An entrant cannot have more than ten active entries by the Saturday deadline. Each team can only be selected once per entry during the contest season.
Picks are due by 4 p.m. PST every Saturday or before the kickoff of the selected games. For Thanksgiving and Black Friday, picks are due by 10 p.m. PST the preceding Wednesday. For Christmas, picks are due by 9 a.m. PST on Wednesday, December 25.
About Circa Million VI
Circa Million VI offers $6 million guaranteed in total prizes, including a $1 million first-place prize that comes with a coveted Circa Sports blue jacket. The contest is no rake, with extra fees going into the quarter- and full-season prize pools.
$3.65 million will be distributed among places two through 100, and $300,000 in prizes will be awarded each quarter (every four to five weeks). The last place booby prize winner will receive $100,000, and the second-to-last place booby prize winner will receive $50,000.
Players make five picks against the spread each week via the Circa Sports Nevada mobile app, a Circa Sports kiosk, or over the counter at any of the six Circa Sports locations in Nevada. Each correct selection earns one point, and each push earns half a point. Entries cost $1,000 each, with a maximum of five entries per person. All entrants receive a Circa Million VI hat.
Cash prizes will be awarded to the top 100 season-long places, the top five places within each quarter, the last place and second-to-last place overall, and the last place in each quarter.
Point spreads are posted every Thursday around 10 a.m. PST, with selections due by 4 p.m. Saturday. During Thanksgiving week, point spreads are posted at 10 a.m. Wednesday.
