The campaign, which opened on 28 September and runs through 05 October 2026, rewards players who land the highest single-spin win multipliers on titles within the dedicated "Gates of Olympus Ascension" category. A total of 35 cash prizes are on offer, headlined by a R12,000 first-place payout.

## How the Competition Works

To enter the running, account holders must manually opt in via the promotion page before placing qualifying wagers. Entry requirements and scoring mechanics include:

- **Qualifying Stakes:** A minimum real-money bet of R2 per spin is required on participating Ascension-category games.
- **Multiplier-Based Scoring:** Rankings are determined strictly by multiplier size rather than overall wager volume, leveling the playing field between casual players and high rollers.
- **Tie-Breaker Mechanism:** In the event of a tie on multiplier points, the player who posted the score first receives the higher placement on the live leaderboard.
- **Cash Only:** Spins using promotional credits, bonus balances, or free spins do not count toward standings.

## Prize Pool Distribution

The R60,000 pot is divided among the top 35 finishers:

 | Placement | Payout | Placement | Payout |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Place | R12,000 | 14th – 15th | R750 |
| 2nd Place | R10,000 | 16th – 17th | R700 |
| 3rd Place | R7,500 | 18th – 19th | R600 |
| 4th Place | R5,000 | 20th – 21st | R550 |
| 5th Place | R4,000 | 22nd – 24th | R500 |
| 6th Place | R3,000 | 25th – 26th | R450 |
