Circa Football Contests Reach Record-Breaking $20.266 Million Total Prize Pool
LAS VEGAS – Circa Sports has once again broken its own record for the highest professional football prize pool. The Las Vegas sports betting venture upped the ante guaranteeing a total of $16 million, no rake for their two pro football betting contests. After today’s deadline, Circa Survivor reached 14,266 entrants raising the prize pool to $14,266,000. Circa Million VI sign ups concluded with 5,817 entrants resulting in a $183,000 overlay. This means entries will have more implied value as the prize pool will be supplemented by Circa Sports. Between the two contests, Circa Sports will award a total of $20,266,000 to winners throughout the 2024-2025 season.
The prize pool for Circa Survivor will go to the last person (or people) standing. It will consist of up to 20 legs throughout the year, one for every week of the football season plus two special weeks. Each week, participants will choose a team to win straight up, but the player cannot pick the same team twice for the duration of the season. Thanksgiving/Black Friday and Christmas Day will each be considered their own contest weeks.
Circa Million VI boasts 126 different ways to win throughout the season with $6 million in total prizes. First place will take home $1 million and a coveted Circa Sports blue jacket while the remaining prize pool will be allocated amongst places two through 100, the quarterly top five and booby prize winners. Each player will 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. One point will be awarded for each correct selection and one-half point for each push.
Last year’s contests featured a $14 million, no rake prize guarantee. Highlights of the contest’s included a check presentation at the D Las Vegas which gave out $9.26 million split between four winners for Circa Survivor, and $1 million was taken home by the victor of Circa Million V.
