Start with a budget
Decide what you are happy to spend on the race before you join, and write it down. A limit set in advance is far easier to keep than one made while you are watching the board.
Treat that sum as the price of the entertainment. A prize is a bonus, not income. You must be 18 or over, and if the race stops being fun, stop. Never play with money you need for something else.
Read the card before you spin
Everything you need is on the tournament card and the race page on the Tournaments page. Check these in order:
- The minimum stake. It was $0.20 on Cursed Gold Rush. Spins below it do not score.
- The qualifying slots. Only qualifying games score, so play only those.
- The scoring. Points come from the win-to-stake ratio. See our scoring guide.
- The prize ladder. Know where the prize line sits. Places below it win nothing.
- How prizes are paid. Each card says whether prizes are cash, bonus funds or free spins.
Also remember that some countries are not accepted by the casino, so check its terms for your country first.
Do not chase the board
A place just below the prize line can feel very close. Chasing it by raising stakes or topping up after you meant to stop is the quickest way to overspend. Because stake size does not buy points, a bigger bet is not even an efficient way to climb.
A good rule is simple: when the budget is gone, you are done. See how the board works to keep the numbers in perspective.
Choose a race that fits you
Not every race suits every player. Match the race to how you like to play:
- Prefer low stakes? The $0.20 minimum on the Gold Rush race suits you, since a small stake scores like a large one.
- Prefer to avoid risk? Skip a race if the prize type or conditions do not appeal. Prizes can be cash, bonus funds or free spins.
- Short on time? Check when the clock ends before you opt in.
Then check the prizes. Our prize guide explains the ladder, and the main tournament guide covers joining and payout. The casino describes its tournaments as weekly, so skipping one that does not suit you costs nothing.
Questions people ask
What is the single most useful tip?
Set a budget before you join, and stop when it is spent.
How do I know which slots count?
The tournament card and race page state the qualifying slots and the minimum stake. Spins below the minimum do not score.
Should I increase my stake to climb the board?
Not for points. A $0.20 spin that wins $20 scores the same 100 points as a $2 spin that wins $200, so raising stakes mostly raises your spending.
Where can I get help if gambling stops being fun?
Stop playing and use any limits available to you. If you feel you are losing control, contact a gambling support organisation in your country.
