## The Short Version

Evolution Gaming and YesPlay have teamed up for a June-long leaderboard competition. Wager on selected live casino games, rack up points, and whoever's sitting at the top of the board when the clock hits midnight on 30 June walks away with R250,000 cash. Twenty players share in the R1,000,000 prize pool, and a further 30 players pocket R5,000 each just for showing up consistently.

It runs until 23:59 (UTC+2) on 30 June 2026. The clock is already ticking.

## Why This One Is Worth Your Attention

Most casino promotions come with a catch — wagering requirements so steep they may as well not exist. The Casino Champions Cup is different. There are no win requirements. No complicated multiplier systems. You earn 1 point for every R100 wagered, win or lose, and your position on the leaderboard is purely a reflection of how much time you put in on the qualifying tables.

For players who are already regulars on Evolution's live floor, this is genuinely free money layered on top of your normal sessions.

## How It Works

- ### Step 1

    Opt in. Head to the YesPlay lobby and grab a ticket to register for the promotion. This is mandatory — your wagers won't count unless you've physically opted in.
- ### Step 2

    Play the qualifying games. Your points only accumulate on specific titles (listed below). Stick to those tables and every R100 you wager adds another point to your leaderboard score.
- ### Step 3

    Watch the board. The leaderboard updates in real time. Keep an eye on where you sit and decide whether to push harder in the final days of the month.
- ### Step 4

    Get paid. Winners are confirmed based on final standings at 23:59 on 30 June. YesPlay distributes prizes within 7 days.

## What You Can Win

The prize pool doesn't just reward the very top — there are 50 positions in total paying out real cash:

 | Finishing Position | Cash Prize |
|---|---|
| 🥇 1st | R250,000 |
| 🥈 2nd | R125,000 |
| 🥉 3rd | R100,000 |
| 4th | R75,000 |
| 5th | R50,000 |
| 6th – 10th | R25,000 each |
| 11th – 20th | R12,500 each |
| 21st – 50th | R5,000 each |

Even cracking the top 50 is worth celebrating — R5,000 for doing what you'd have done anyway is a very good deal.

## The Tables That Count

Points only accumulate on these Evolution titles, so make sure you're on the right games:

- Roulette — Lightning Roulette, Auto Roulette, XXXtreme Lightning Roulette, Speed Roulette, Immersive Roulette, Auto Roulette VIP, Red Door Roulette
- Game Shows — Crazy Time, MONOPOLY Big Baller, Ice Fishing
- Other — Infinite Blackjack, No Commission Baccarat

If Lightning Roulette or Crazy Time are already in your rotation, you're in a strong spot — those are two of the most-played Evolution titles on the platform.

## Before You Play: Two Things to Sort Outh2&gt;

Get FICA verified. Withdrawals won't be processed until your YesPlay account is fully verified with a valid ID and Proof of Address. If you've been putting this off, do it now — a verification delay between winning and getting paid is nobody's idea of fun.

Check your account status. Suspended or deactivated accounts can't participate. If there are any issues with your account, sort them out before you start playing toward the leaderboard.

## The Verdict

The Casino Champions Cup is a clean, well-structured promotion that rewards volume without penalising you for bad luck. The game list covers the most popular corners of Evolution's live lobby, the prize pool is one of the biggest we've seen on YesPlay this year, and the points system couldn't be simpler to follow.

If you're going to be playing live casino this month anyway — and let's be honest, you probably are — there's no reason not to be doing it on a table that's counting every rand toward a potential R250,000 payday.
