Playtech has launched the Lucky Rush Leaderboards, a network-wide promotion offering players the chance to compete for a share of an estimated R100 million in cash prizes across 45 leaderboard tournaments.
Running from 6 March 2026 until 17 January 2027, the promotion links participating operators across the Playtech network, giving eligible players weekly opportunities to climb the rankings and win cash rewards.
What are the Lucky Rush Leaderboards?
The Lucky Rush Leaderboards are a series of consecutive network tournaments where players earn points by playing eligible Playtech games. Instead of competing against players at a single casino, participants compete across the entire Playtech network.
Each leaderboard features thousands of winners, with cash prizes paid directly to qualifying players. Best of all, all winnings are paid as cash with no wagering requirements, meaning prizes can be withdrawn once they have been credited to your account.
Estimated R100 Million Prize Pool
Over the course of the promotion, Playtech estimates that R100 million will be awarded to players.
The promotion includes:
| Promotion Details | Information |
|---|---|
| Total Prize Pool | Estimated R100 million |
| Promotion Dates | 6 March 2026 – 17 January 2027 |
| Number of Leaderboards | 45 |
| Total Winners | Approximately 250,000 |
| Prize Type | Cash prizes |
| Wagering Requirements | None |
Most weekly leaderboards feature a R2 million prize pool shared among 5,000 winners, while selected special leaderboards increase the prize fund to R4 million, rewarding up to 10,000 players.
How to Participate
Taking part in the Lucky Rush Leaderboards is simple.
Players must:
- Open an eligible Playtech game.
- Join the current Lucky Rush leaderboard.
- Play eligible games and earn points.
- Climb the rankings before the leaderboard closes.
Each leaderboard requires players to join separately, so entering one tournament does not automatically register you for future events.
How Points Are Calculated
Unlike tournaments based on total wagers, Lucky Rush rewards players for achieving the biggest wins relative to their stake.
The formula is:
Win ÷ Bet × 100 = Points
For example:
| Bet | Win | Points Earned |
|---|---|---|
| R40 | R2,000 | 5,000 |
| R200 | R300 | 150 |
Each individual spin can award a maximum of 10,000 points.
Only a player’s best 25 scoring spins count towards their final leaderboard total, making every big win count.
To qualify for prizes, players must:
- Score at least 100 points
- Finish within the prize-paying positions
Cash Prize Breakdown
The largest weekly leaderboards award prizes such as:
| Position | Prize |
|---|---|
| 1st | R200,000 (or R400,000 in selected events) |
| 2nd | Up to R200,000 |
| 3rd | R100,000 |
| Top 10 | Up to R20,000 each |
| Thousands of Additional Winners | Cash prizes from R200 upwards |
With 250,000 total winning positions across the promotion, Lucky Rush offers opportunities for players beyond just the top few places.
