The 2026 FIFA World Cup is the biggest betting event of the year, and BC.GAME is rewarding its most active players with a share of $500,000 in cash prizes.
The BC.GAME World Cup Leaderboard promotion turns every World Cup wager into points, giving bettors the chance to climb the leaderboard rankings and compete for real-money rewards.
Spread across two separate phases (Group Stage and Knockout Rounds), the top 500 players are rewarded in each phase. In this guide, we'll explain how the leaderboard works, how points are calculated, and break down the full prize distribution.
If you’re new to this platform, it’s not too late to get your name up on the leaderboard. Create an account with our BC.GAME promo code NEWBONUS and start betting.
How to Join the BC.GAME World Cup Leaderboard
Joining this tournament is as easy as placing a bet. Follow these steps and you’ll be on your way to picking up your first World Cup leaderboard points.
- Register or log in to your BC.GAME account.
- Go to the Betby Sportsbook and locate the World Cup 2026 betting area.
- Peruse the matches and markets, then place your bets. Remember the minimum odds requirement (explained below).
- Earn leaderboard points automatically: every $1 wagered is worth 1 point.
- Climb the rankings and compete for a share of the $500,000 prize pool.
There is no separate opt-in requirement. As long as your bets meet the promotion rules, points are tracked automatically and added to your leaderboard score.
How Leaderboard Points Are Calculated
BC.GAME keeps the scoring simple: your leaderboard score is based on the total volume/amount of all your eligible World Cup bets.
Key scoring rules:
- Every $1.00 USD (or currency equivalent) equals 1 point
- Winning and losing bets both count
- Singles must have a minimum odds of 1.50
- Multi-bets (accumulators) and Bet Builders (Same-Game Multis) have no minimum odds requirement
- Pre-match and in-play bets are eligible
- Only real-money wagers count
- Free bets, bonus funds, and cashback stakes are excluded
- Voided, cancelled, and cashed-out bets do not count
- Bets count when they settle, not when they are placed
World Cup Leaderboard Phases
This promotion is split into two phases, meaning you can win twice. At the end of phase 1, the leaderboard will reset for the beginning of the next phase.
| Phase | Tournament Stage | Dates | Prize Pool |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Group Stage | 11 - 27 June 2026 | $200,000 |
| 2 | Knockout Stages | 28 June - 19 July 2026 | $300,000 |
Phase 1 - Prize Payouts
The pot for phase 1 is $200,000 USD, which is shared between the top 500 bettors on the leaderboard.
| Leaderboard Position | Cash Prize | Number of Winners |
|---|---|---|
| 1st place | $15,000 | 1 |
| 2nd place | $10,000 | 1 |
| 3rd place | $6,000 | 1 |
| 4th - 10th place | $3,000 each | 7 |
| 11th - 30th place | $1,500 each | 20 |
| 31st - 60th place | $1,000 each | 30 |
| 61st - 100th place | $500 each | 40 |
| 101st - 200th place | $250 each | 100 |
| 210st - 300th place | $200 each | 100 |
| 301st - 400th place | $130 each | 100 |
| 401st - 500th place | $100 each | 100 |
Multibets Could be Your Secret Weapon
Most bettors will focus on the 1.50 minimum odds requirement for single bets, but there is an interesting exception hidden in the rules.
While singles must be placed at odds of 1.50 or higher to qualify, Multibets and Bet Builders have no minimum odds requirement at all.
That means a single bet at odds of 1.20 would not earn leaderboard points. However, a Bet Builder containing two selections at 1.10 each would still qualify, despite the combined odds being below the single-bet threshold.
For example:
| Bet Type | Odds | Is it Eligible? |
|---|---|---|
| Single Bet | 1.20 | ❌ No |
| Single Bet | 1.48 | ❌ No |
| Single Bet | 1.50 | ✅ Yes |
| 2-leg Multi | 1.10 × 1.10 = 1.21 | ✅ Yes |
| 3-leg Multi | 1.15 × 1.15 × 1.15 = 1.52 | ✅ Yes |
Given that this promotion is all about total wagering volume, you want to choose the safest bets possible that offer the best chance of winning, which is why looking for very low-priced selections makes the most sense.
You can read our BC.GAME Sportsbook review to learn more about the football betting markets. However, for low odds selections you want to be looking at:
- Some Match Winner (1x2) markets
- Double Chance
- Total Goals: Over/Under 0.5 or 1.5 goals
- Handicaps with a wide spread
- Total Corners: Choose the lowest available number/market
- Total Cards: Same as corners
Markets to avoid for this World Cup leaderboard promotion include correct score, HT-FT, and anytime goalscorer. Typically, these are comparatively high odds, which do not suit a wager race tournament.
