  • The top 100 players share €5,000 in free bets, with €500 for first place.

  • The competition runs from November 2–8, 2026; bets must settle before it closes.
A winning sports bet could earn you a second reward at BC.GAME this week. American Sports Showdown has €5,000 in free bets for its top 100 players, with a €500 free bet for whoever finishes first.

This BETBY-branded BC.GAME promotion accepts singles and accumulators featuring selected American sports leagues. 

Your eligible wins add points to your leaderboard total, and your final position decides whether you collect a reward. There’s no fixed points target that guarantees a prize. Instead, you’re competing against other players for one of those 100 places.

How to Take Part

It's easy to get involved in this promotion. All you need to do is place bets within the parameters set by BC.GAME.

  1. Sign in to your BC.GAME account. Open the American Sports Showdown promotion and check its entry instructions before betting.
  2. Choose your selections. Include at least one pick from an eligible league and check that every selection meets the 1.50 minimum odds.
  3. Place a qualifying bet. Use at least €3 in real money on a single or accumulator during the promotion window.
  4. Check the leaderboard after settlement. If your bet qualifies and wins before the deadline, its points contribute to your position.

The eligible leagues cover baseball, basketball, ice hockey and American football. However, inclusion in the rules doesn’t mean every league will have fixtures available during this particular week. Check the sportsbook’s current listings before choosing a match.

How Leaderboard Points Work

The points calculation is straightforward:

  • Points = stake × (final decimal odds − 1)

In ordinary betting terms, that means the winnings above your original stake. The stake itself doesn’t earn points, and losing bets add nothing to your total.

Qualifying winning bet
CalculationPoints
€10 single at 2.00€10 × (2.00 − 1)10
€10 accumulator at combined odds of 3.00€10 × (3.00 − 1)20

For the single, a €20 return includes your original €10 stake, leaving €10 in winnings for the calculation. The accumulator returns €30, with €20 above the stake. These examples explain the scoring; they aren’t suggested bets.

An accumulator uses its final combined odds, with the stake counted once. You don’t earn a separate points award for each winning leg. Points from all your qualifying wins are then added together.

Higher odds can produce more points from a winning bet, but they don’t make that bet more likely to land. Adding selections or increasing your stake also doesn’t guarantee a prize.

American Sports Showdown Prize Breakdown

Each player in the top 100 receives one free-bet reward based on their final position.

Total€5,000 prize pool100

Half the paid places receive a €30 free bet, while the top three collect €500, €300 and €200 respectively. Finishing outside the top 100 earns no leaderboard reward, even if you’ve accumulated points.

Rewards are credited within 24 hours after the promotion ends, in the player’s account currency. For players betting in multiple currencies, the operator chooses the reward currency. The exchange rate used when the reward is issued can affect the amount received.

How the Free Bet Rewards Work

Once you receive a reward, you can use it across all sports, rather than being limited to the five leagues listed for the competition. The reward wager must have decimal odds between 1.50 and 3.00.

The key detail is that the free-bet stake isn’t returned. A €30 free bet that wins at 2.00 credits €30 in winnings, not €60. If it loses, it produces no return. Keep that distinction in mind when reading the prize table: a €30 free bet isn’t a €30 cash payment.

The supplied promotion rules don’t state an expiry period. Check the reward’s terms when it arrives for its use-by date and any further redemption conditions.

Which Bets Do Not Count?

The following bets earn no leaderboard points:

  • Losing bets.
  • Bets settled through Cash Out.
  • Cancelled, voided or refunded bets.
  • Bets placed using free bets or bonus funds.
  • Bets placed or settled outside the promotion window.
  • Bets that fail the minimum stake, odds or eligible-league requirements.

That settlement deadline is easy to overlook. A bet placed before 23:59 UTC on November 8 still earns no points if it settles after the competition closes. This is especially relevant to accumulators whose final selection takes place later.

BC.GAME US Sports Showdown FAQs

  • Must every accumulator leg come from an eligible league?

    No. The rules require at least one selection from MLB, NBA, NHL, WNBA or NFL. Every leg must still meet the minimum decimal odds of 1.50, including selections from other competitions.

  • What happens if two players finish with the same points?

    The player who reached that points total first ranks higher. Equal totals therefore don’t necessarily earn the same prize.

  • Is American Sports Showdown a cashback promotion?

    The rules describe a leaderboard competition, although the accompanying heading says 'Betby: Weekly Cashback'. Rewards depend on final leaderboard positions; the rules do not offer a percentage refund on losing bets.
