Operator BetVictor are running a leaderboard-based World Cup 2018 promotion where for a single £1 stake on the tournament, you could win up to £1,000,000.
It is a promotion in which the goal is to try and land a winning bet at the biggest odds of all qualifying bets placed on the World Cup 2018.
How it Works
The BetVictor Million Pound Bet offer is a leaderboard competition based on who can create the winning World Cup bet at the biggest odds. A qualifying bet for the promotion is a Single Bet or an each-way bet of at least the Minimum Stake of £1 on a Qualifying Market, using real cash and/or bonus funds. The minimum stake is £1.
To win the Overall Competition, a customer must place the Winning Bet with the Biggest Odds of all Qualifying Bets placed on the World Cup 2018. The winner(s) will be the ones who finish top of the leaderboard once the 2018 World Cup Final has ended.
There are two competitions running side by side, one Overall and one Daily. A qualifying market for the promotion is deemed to be any betting market made available on the Betvictor Website, relating to the World Cup, but excluding any Enhanced Prices for the Overall Competition.
The prize available for winning the Overall Competition is one million pounds Sterling.
For the Daily Competition a qualifying market is any betting market listed within the main set of pre-match and in-play markets relating to a Fixture taking place on a specific Matchday.
The prize available each Matchday for winning a Daily Competition is five thousand pounds Sterling.
Prize money will be shared if there is more than one winner.
Customers must also have made a minimum deposit of £5 on the account. There is an opt out option if you do not wish to take part, which can be done by emailing [email protected].

Casino Bonus
In addition BetVictor will distribute a share of five thousand pounds Sterling (GB £5,000) in casino bonus funds (the “Casino Bonus”) to each Customer that is listed as finishing in the top one hundred (100) finishing positions on each Daily Leaderboard.
The Casino Bonus will be shared equally among each Customer who appears next to the numbers one to one hundred (01-100) inclusive on the Daily Leaderboard, regardless of how many Customers may share those positions. For example, where a total of one thousand two hundred and fifty (1,250) Customers share the top one hundred (100) positions on the Daily Leaderboard, each Customer will receive a four pound Sterling (GB £4) Casino Bonus.
The minimum amount a Customer can receive as part of the Casino Bonus is one pound Sterling (GB £1).
The Casino Bonus will be credited by 12:00 GMT the following day and can be claimed by a winning Customer visiting the “Offers” tab and selecting “Claim Now” within the ”Details” section.
The Casino Bonus needs be claimed by a winning Customer within twenty-four (24) hours of award to a winning Customer and played within a further twenty-four (24) hours, else it will expire.
The Casino Bonus can be used on BetVictor’s Casino games, except for “Bacarrat” (all versions) and the “Blood Suckers” slot.
In order to release any winnings from the Casino Bonus, a winning Customer must first wager the value of the Casino Bonus through five (05) times.For example, if a winning Customer receives five pounds Sterling (GB £5) in Casino Bonus, the winning Customer must wager a total of twenty-five pounds Sterling (GB £25) (i.e. GB £5 x 5).
The stake contributions shown in the table below apply to the wagering requirements:
Game Category
Stake Contribution
Example
Slots / Instant Win
100%
£10 stake = £10 wagered
Roulette / Table Games / Video Poker
20%
£10 stake = £2 wagered
Blackjack
10%
£10 stake = £1 wagered
This means that when you place a stake in a qualifying game, only the percentage of your stake equal to the stake contribution shown in the above table for that Game Category will count towards your wagering requirement. For example, if your wagering requirement is £25 and you stake £10 on Roulette which has a stake contribution of 20%, £2 (i.e. 20% of £10) would count towards the wagering requirement, leaving £23 of the wagering requirement remaining.
Any Casino Bonus remaining in a Customer’s balance once the wagering has been completed will become Real Cash.
For Customers betting in Euros the currency equivalent of £10 is €10. All other currencies will be calculated at current exchange rates
Any Customer whose account is closed, or is blocked from accessing the casino, at the time the Casino Bonus is credited will not be eligible to receive the Casino Bonus.
BetVictor reserves the right to remove the Casino Bonus from a winning Customer together with any winnings derived from it BetVictor believes that a Customer has, or is attempting to, abuse the Casino Bonus. Low risk betting (i.e. betting on red/black, evens/odds, 1-18/19-36 or covering over twenty (20) numbers on a spin (including straight up, splits, streets, corners, baskets, six-lines, dozens, columns, red/black, evens/odds, 1-18/19-36 and section/neighbour bets)) will result in the Casino Bonus, together with any winnings derived from it being removed from the Customer’s account.
A Customer is permitted to withdraw its real cash balance at any time, without it affecting the qualification, award, prize or wagering for this Casino Bonus.
HOW TO ENTER
Each Qualifying Bet placed by a Customer will constitute an entry by that Customer into:
the Overall Competition; and
the Daily Competition for the Matchday on which the Fixture bet on takes place.
To place a “Qualifying Bet” the Customer must place a Single Bet or an each-way bet of at least the Minimum Stake on a Qualifying Market, using real cash and/or bonus funds. For the purposes of an each-way bet, only the win part of the bet (and not the place part) shall qualify (for example, a one pound Sterling (GB £1) each-way bet on Australia to win the World Cup would see only the one pound Sterling (GB £1) win part of the bet qualify. The one pound Sterling (GB £1) place part of the bet would not qualify for the Competition). Any subsequent reductions to the stake of a Qualifying Bet (for example as a result of a “dead heat” being applied on settlement of a bet) shall be disapplied for the purposes of the Competitions.
The applicable “Qualifying Market” depends on the Competition:
for the Overall Competition a “Qualifying Market” is any betting market made available on the Website, relating to the World Cup, but excluding any Enhanced Prices offered as a new Customer sign-up offer; and
for the Daily Competition a “Qualifying Market” is any betting market listed within the main set of pre-match and in-play markets relating to a Fixture taking place on a specific Matchday and shall include all ninety (90) minutes, extra-time and penalty markets, where applicable.
The “Minimum Stake” depends on the currency used to bet, and is a sum of no less than: GBP 1; CHF 1.3; EUR 1; USD 1.3; CAD 1.7; NZD 1.9; NOK 11; ZAR 17; and SEK 12. A Customer who is eligible to open an BetVictor account is table to participate in the Competitions, save for Customers from Belarus, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru or Serbia, as BetVictor does not accept Sportsbook bets from these countries.
Should a Customer not wish to partake in the Competition(s) after placing a Qualifying Bet, the Customer may opt out by contacting [email protected].
If a Customer attempts to submit a Qualifying Bet, but is unable to do so for any reason (for example, due to website outage), such attempt shall not be a valid Qualifying Bet or considered in awarding the Prizes.
A Qualifying Bet shall only be successfully submitted by the Customer:
if the Customer’s account is still considered to be an active account by BetVictor at the point of submission of the Qualifying Bet; and
the Qualifying Bet is listed within the “Account History” section of the Customer’s account.
If a Qualifying Bet is Cashed Out or partially Cashed Out, the Qualifying Bet will be excluded from the Competition(s).
Void bets are excluded, unless BetVictor has mistakenly voided a bet which it later reinstates.
BetVictor will not accept responsibility for Qualifying Bets that are delayed in transit, regardless of cause, including, for example, as a result of technical malfunction, network server, computer hardware or software failures of any kind.

PRIZES
In the event that there is more than one (1) winner of the Overall Competition, the Overall Prize will be shared equally between the number of winners. This may occur where there is a tie for first (1st) place on the final Leaderboard, as a result of more than one (1) Customer having a Winning Bet with identical odds. For example, only: If odds of 100/1 were the Biggest Odds of all Winning Bets and ten (10) individual Customers placed a Winning Bet at those odds, then there would be ten (10) winners of the Overall Competition, each receiving one tenth (1/10) of the Overall Prize (i.e. one hundred thousand pounds Sterling (GB £100,000) each).
In the event that there is more than one (1) winner of the Daily Competition, the Daily Prize will be shared equally between the winners. This may occur where more than one (1) Customer has a Winning Bet with identical Biggest Odds.
The Prizes are not negotiable or transferable.
Within one (1) Business Day of the date of verification and acceptance by BetVictor of each winner of a Competition (following their claim of the Prize as set out in Clause 6), the relevant Prize will be paid into the account of the winner.
In the unlikely event that there is no winner of a Daily Competition, the Prize for that Daily Competition will roll over to the next Daily Competition.
The Prize value will always be denominated in Pounds Sterling (GB £).
If a winner of a Competition has an account denominated in a currency other than Pounds Sterling (GB £), BetVictor will pay the Prize in the currency specified in the account (using the mid-market rate supplied by the Bank of England Foreign Exchange Desk London, on the Business Day of payment).
If any element of the Daily Competition and/or the Overall Competition is disputed, BetVictor reserves the right to withhold payment of Prize(s) until the disputed result is confirmed by BetVictor, which – subject to the Customer’s rights set out in the Customer Terms (which are accessible here) – will be final and conclusive for the purposes of the Daily Competition and/or Overall Competition (as applicable).
