mr.play — Winterfest Tournament 1 (Tournament)
Overview
Winterfest Tournament 1 is a short, seasonal slots leaderboard tournament hosted by mr.play with a total cash prize pool of £12,500. The tournament runs for a defined week of play and rewards players on the basis of win multipliers (win divided by bet) accrued on qualifying games.
Promotion period
Start: 01.12.2025 00:00 GMT — End: 07.12.2025 23:59 GMT. Leaderboard standings as of 00:00 GMT on 08.12.2025 are final. Cash prizes will be awarded on 08.12.2025 by 16:00 GMT.
Qualifying games
- Tiki Island
- Paper Wins
- Secrets of the Phoenix Gold
- Double Bubble Cash Wall
- Bao Zhu Zhao Fu Blue Festival
How the tournament works (Mechanics)
- Scoring is based on Sum of Win Multipliers. Score per spin = Win / Bet. Example: spin £1 and win £5 → score is 5.
- No minimum stake is specified in the tournament terms — all qualifying spins on the listed games are eligible.
- All scores from qualifying games are added cumulatively to produce the leaderboard total.
- Players must opt in to the tournament when opening any qualifying game — the leaderboard is visible and updates in real time.
Prizes & distribution (total £12,500)
- 1st — £2,000
- 2nd — £1,500
- 3rd — £1,000
- 4th — £750
- 5th — £500
- 6th–10th — £250 each
- 11th–15th — £100 each
- 16th–25th — £75 each
- 26th–50th — £50 each
- 51st–100th — £25 each
- 101st–150th — £15 each
- 151st–200th — £10 each
- 201st–300th — £5 each
Crediting & wagering
- Prizes are paid as cash directly to players’ balances with no wagering attached and no expiry date stated for the credited cash.
- Winners will be contacted via email.
Limits, restrictions & important terms
- Eligibility: 18+, UK residents only. Opt-in required.
- Cap: A maximum of £2,500 total cash prizes may be awarded to any single customer across all promotions labelled ‘Winterfest Tournament’ during December 2025 (applies to accounts belonging to the same individual under Aspire Global–operated brands).
- Players may only play one qualifying game at a time per login session. Aspire Global reserves the right to disqualify players who play more than one game in the same login session.
- Fraud, manipulation or abuse will result in disqualification. One entry per person/household/IP is permitted.
- The promotion cannot be used with other website promotions and is subject to mr.play’s Bonus Policy and full Terms & Conditions.
- The promoter may impose restrictions on accounts for regulatory or legal reasons; such restrictions may affect eligibility for the promotion.
- Promoter reserves the right to modify, suspend or terminate the promotion for legal, regulatory or fraud reasons; accounts may be suspended pending investigation.
Practical notes
If you plan to chase the leaderboard, opt in before you start spins on the qualifying games and ensure you play within the tournament dates. Because scoring is win divided by stake, bigger wins on smaller stakes can produce high multiplier scores; however, the general prize cap across Winterfest promotions could limit maximum cash won by a single customer in December.
Pragmatic Play Drops & Wins — “£7,350,000 in Prizes” (Network promotion running on mr.play)
Overview
Pragmatic Play’s Drops & Wins is a supplier-run, network tournament and drop campaign covering many Pragmatic Play slot titles across participating operators. The version advertised offers a combined prize pool of up to £7,350,000 available across Daily Tournaments and Weekly Wheel Drops from 19 November 2025 through 4 March 2026.
Promotion period
19.11.2025 – 04.03.2026. Weekly windows run Wednesday 19:01 CET/CEST to the following Wednesday at 18:59 CET/CEST.
Main components
- Daily Tournaments — approximately £20,000 in prizes each day across 500 cash prizes; daily top prize up to £3,000. Players opt in and play participating slots; scores are based on win multipliers (win/stake). Only the first 5,000 qualifying bets per day count (Qualifying Bets Limit). Minimum qualifying bet: £0.15.
- Weekly Wheel Drops — weekly prize pool approx. £350,000. Players collect 3 wheel pieces during real-money play on participating games; completing the wheel grants a wheel spin awarding prizes including huge multipliers (up to 100,000×), Instant Bonus entries or Free Spins. No minimum bet required for wheel pieces. Up to 2 wheel prizes per player per week.
How Daily Tournament scoring works
- Players must opt in and place qualifying bets (min £0.15) on participating games.
- Only the first five thousand (5,000) qualifying bets per day are eligible; bets after the limit are not counted.
- Points = total of win multipliers for qualifying winning spins (win/stake). Multipliers with decimals greater than 0.5 are rounded up; below 0.5 are rounded down to zero.
- Leaderboard positions are determined by players’ total points for that daily tournament; ties are broken by time (earlier achiever gets the higher rank).
How Weekly Wheel Drops work
- Players must opt in each week and play real-money spins on participating games to randomly collect wheel pieces on qualifying bets.
- Each qualifying bet has a chance to award a single wheel piece. Collect all three pieces to spin the wheel and receive a prize.
- Wheel prizes can be a multiplier of the winning bet (note payout cap), Instant Bonus (free direct entry into a game’s bonus) or Free Spins in the specific game.
- When the winning spin multiplier payout exceeds £1, payout is based on a £1 bet (or currency equivalent). That is, multiplier payouts are capped to a £1 base bet for payment calculation unless otherwise specified.
- Free Spins/Instant Bonus must be claimed and used within 7 days of award. If a player’s winning stake exceeded £1, the Free Spins or Instant Bonus will be awarded at £1 or the currency equivalent (or next higher available bet value).
- Free Spins and Instant Bonus winnings from Drops & Wins have no wagering requirements. Winnings will be paid within 72 hours.
Participating games & weekly game lists
Participating Pragmatic Play slots vary by week; operator pages list the current eligible games. Weeks 1–4 games were provided (e.g., Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza, Big Bass Bonanza, The Dog House, Starlight Princess, and many others), but full lists rotate weekly. Always check the current participating game list on the promotion widget or operator promotions page.
Prize mechanics & payout timing
- Total advertised prize pool: £7,350,000 (consisting of multiple Daily Tournaments and Weekly Wheel Drops across the campaign). The actual distributed total may vary due to multiplier prize mechanics.
- Daily prizes and wheel prizes are paid to winners as stipulated by the Daily Tournament/Weekly Wheel prize tables published in-game.
- Free Spins and Instant Bonus winnings are paid with no wagering requirements and within 72 hours after award unless otherwise stated.
Eligibility, limits & important terms
- Opt in is required for each component (Daily Tournament / Weekly Wheel Drop) as prompted.
- Daily Tournaments: minimum bet £0.15 and only the first 5,000 qualifying bets per day count.
- Weekly Wheel Drops: no minimum bet to trigger wheel pieces, but only players who opt in and play qualifying real-money spins can collect pieces.
- Prizes involving multipliers are capped for payout calculation at a £1 base bet (or currency equivalent) where specified.
- Free Spins/Instant Bonus must be claimed and used within 7 days; winnings have no wagering requirements.
- Pragmatic Play reserves the right to select or change the Instant Bonus game roughly every four weeks at its discretion.
- Responsible gaming warnings: gambling can be addictive; play responsibly.
Practical notes
If you play Pragmatic titles on a participating site, opt in weekly for Wheel Drops and each daily tournament you plan to enter. Watch the Qualifying Bets Limit (first 5,000 bets per day) — if the limit is reached for that day, later bets won’t count into the leaderboard. Because multiplier prizes are often calculated against a £1 base for payout, extremely large multipliers on higher stakes may be paid out as if the stake were £1 for the drop prize component.
mr.play — Early Payout (Sports feature)
Overview
Early Payout is a sportsbook feature enabling certain pre-match single bets to be settled as winners before full-time, if a specified early condition occurs (for example, your team leading by the required margin).
Where it applies
- Available on select pre-match football and basketball markets as indicated on the sportsbook.
- Common implementation in football: single bets on the Match Result market will be paid out early if your selected team leads by 2 goals at any point in the match (specific leagues/matches vary).
Key terms and restrictions
- Feature applies to single & accumulator pre-match bets only. Live/in-play bets and some multi-bet types may not be eligible.
- Bets placed using a free bet token may be eligible for Early Payout depending on the promotion’s terms.
- Early Payout is not combinable with Cash Out — once paid early the bet is settled as a win and final result will not affect it.
- If a match is abandoned or voided after an Early Payout has been triggered, the bet remains settled as a winner.
- MrPlay reserves the right to amend, suspend or remove Early Payout for any sport/event/customer at its discretion.
Practical notes
Early Payout effectively guarantees a win payment once the early condition occurs. Read the market notes before betting so you know the exact trigger (e.g., lead by 2 goals). There may be selected leagues and matches only — it is not universal across all events.
mr.play — Boosted Odds (Sports)
Overview
Boosted Odds are short-term, improved prices applied to selected sports markets. Boosts are automatically reflected in the betslip; no separate opt-in is required.
Key terms & restrictions
- Boosted Odds are available only on selected sports, markets and events shown on the sportsbook and for a limited time.
- No opt-in: boosts appear automatically in the betslip when you select an eligible outcome.
- Free bets cannot be used on Boosted Odds (only real-money bets are permitted; eligibility with bonus funds/tokens may vary by promotion).
- Boosted Odds selections can be placed as single bets; combination with other price enhancements is not allowed unless explicitly stated.
- If a Boosted Odds selection is voided, pushed or cancelled, that leg is settled at odds of 1.00 for the leg (standard settlement rules apply).
- Operator reserves the right to amend, suspend or remove boosted odds at any time without notice. General terms and conditions apply.
Practical notes
Because boosted odds are time-limited and non-combinable with some other promotions, check the betslip to confirm the boosted price before you stake real money. Do not assume bonus funds can be used unless the promotion explicitly allows it.
Betfred — Casino Welcome Offer (new customers)
Overview
Betfred’s Casino Welcome Offer (new customers only) awards Free Spins after you opt in and stake £10 on eligible casino slots within 30 days of registration. You choose one of three free-spins packages.
How to qualify
- Be a new customer (registered within the previous 30 days) and verify your account.
- Opt in via the promotion page before placing any qualifying stakes.
- Make a deposit using a Debit Card (prepaid cards, e-wallets are excluded) and stake £10 or more on eligible Casino Slots within 30 days of registration.
- Choose your Welcome Bonus when prompted (choice must be made at time of the bonus message).
Choice of Free Spins
- 50 Free Spins on Age of the Gods™ at £0.20 per spin
- 100 Free Spins on Better Wilds at £0.10 per spin
- 200 Free Spins on Age of the Gods™ God of Storms 2 at £0.05 per spin
Crediting & use
- Free Spins are credited within 48 hours of choosing the bonus.
- Free Spins expire after 7 days and must be used within that period.
- Free Spins have no cash value and will not appear in your cash or chip balance; winnings from Free Spins are paid into the cash balance once all spins have been used.
- No wagering requirements are attached to winnings from these Free Spins (the operator states “no wagering requirements”).
Restrictions & important terms
- Available to UK customers only who registered within previous 30 days.
- Deposits must be made with a Debit Card — prepaid Visa/Mastercard and e-wallets do not qualify.
- You must be verified before Free Spins are awarded (email/SMS validation may be used).
- One welcome offer per player, person, address, IP, device or mobile number; previous recipients are not eligible.
- Operator may delay bonus payments for additional account validation and reserves the right to change or withdraw the offer if required (fraud, system failure, supplier withdrawal, etc.).
Practical notes
Choose the Free Spins package that suits your playstyle: fewer spins at higher value (50 × £0.20) or many spins at low value (200 × £0.05). If you plan to play higher-stake versions of Age of the Gods, the 50 spins at £0.20 may be more useful; if you prefer many low-stake spins, the 200-spin option could be better. Ensure you deposit with a qualifying debit card and opt in before staking.
Betfred — Lucky Rush £1,000,000 Leaderboards (Playtech network)
Overview
Lucky Rush is a networked leaderboard promotion running across Playtech-powered slots on Betfred and partner sites. Across ten weekly leaderboards, players can earn points and compete for a £100,000 prize pool per week — a total advertised £1,000,000.
Promotional period
23:00 UK time Thursday 23 October 2025 to 22:59 UK time Sunday 4 January 2026. There are ten consecutive weekly leaderboards; exact weekly start/end dates are published in the leaderboard table.
How to qualify
- Log in and launch a qualifying slot, then join the Leaderboard via the in-game widget.
- Minimum qualifying spin: £0.10 on any of the qualifying games.
- Leaderboard points are based on your win divided by your stake (Win/Bet). Your top 25 scores (from your first 10,000 spins after joining) are summed to determine your final position.
- Points are only awarded on winning spins that occur in your first 10,000 spins on the qualifying games after joining the leaderboard.
Prize structure
Each weekly leaderboard has a £100,000 prize pool. Prize distributions differ between leaderboards — leaderboards 1–4 and 6–8 use one distribution (1st = £10,000, many smaller prizes down to £5), while leaderboards 5, 9 and 10 use a different distribution (1st = £20,000, etc.). The full prize tables are displayed in the promotion materials and were reproduced above.
Crediting
Prizes will be credited to winning accounts within 48 hours of each leaderboard ending (or within 3 working days in case of technical issues).
Restrictions & important terms
- Play with bonus funds or Free Spins does not qualify; only real-money bets count.
- Points are only counted from the first 10,000 qualifying spins after joining the leaderboard.
- In the case of ties, the player who achieved the score earliest receives the higher prize.
- This is a network promotion provided by Playtech across multiple operators; operator-specific Significant Conditions apply as well as Betfred’s general Terms & Conditions.
- Betfred reserves the right to amend, suspend or withdraw the promotion if required (e.g., system issues or supplier withdrawal).
Practical notes
Because only your first 10,000 spins after joining count and the leaderboard uses your top 25 scores, a strategy focusing on high multiplier wins irrespective of stake can be effective for leaderboard position. However, playing at smaller stakes may still yield high win multipliers; note that bets with bonus funds will not contribute to leaderboard points.

Betfred — Mystery Free Spins & Mystery Free Spins Upgrade
Overview
These daily promotions reward players with free spins if certain qualifying activity occurs on the previous day (or guarantee spins if a prior staking threshold is met). Key variations were described:
Mystery Free Spins Upgrade (Upgrade)
- Opt-in required. Available once per customer, per day.
- If you staked at least £10 on casino slots the previous day, you are guaranteed a Free Spins reward the next day (minimum 10 Free Spins; maximum 100 Free Spins; spins valued at £0.10 each).
- Must claim by 23:59 GMT on the same day; spins expire same day (i.e., same-day expiry).
- Game restrictions and iOS App restrictions apply; Terms & Conditions apply.
Mystery Free Spins (standard)
- Opt-in required. Available once per customer per day.
- No deposit or wagering required to receive variable Mystery Free Spins amounts — reward amounts vary and win is not guaranteed.
- Must be claimed by 23:59 GMT daily; same day expiry.
- Game and platform restrictions apply; iOS App restrictions may apply.
Practical notes
Both offers are subject to operator eligibility and platform availability. The Upgrade version rewards players who staked the previous day, guaranteeing a minimum FS award if they meet the stake threshold. Because expiry is often same-day, claim and use quickly to avoid losing spins.

Restrictions & important terms
- Only stakes on the specific Game of the Week title count; stakes on other titles do not qualify.
- Play with bonus funds or Free Spins does not count towards the staking requirement.
- Standard Betfred Terms & Conditions and Comp Points rules apply; in case of conflict the Significant Conditions of this promotion take precedence.
Practical notes
If you regularly collect Comp Points, the 2× rate during Game of the Week can speed up conversions to rewards. Always check your account for current conversion rates and minimums before taking part.
Betfred — Comp Points (General scheme)

Betfred’s Comp Points scheme rewards play by issuing loyalty points that can be converted to Golden Chips, Free Spins or cash. Conversion thresholds and values vary with Casino level.
Significant conversion notes (as provided)

Practical notes
Comp Point rates and conversion thresholds depend on account level. Always check your account pages for exact conversion rates, minimums and any expiry on converted rewards or chips.
Key cross-promotion rules and operator rights (applies to all offers)
- All promotions are subject to the operator’s General Terms & Conditions and Bonus Policy. Where a promotion includes Significant Conditions, those take precedence for that promotion.
- Operators reserve the right to amend, delay, suspend or withdraw promotions at any time for reasons including fraud prevention, supplier withdrawal or system failures.
- Multiple accounts, collusion, bonus abuse or suspected manipulation can lead to disqualification and forfeiture of prizes; one entry per person/household/IP/device typically applies.
- KYC/verification may be required before bonuses or prizes are credited. Operators may delay credits pending identity checks.
- Promotions often exclude play with bonus funds from qualifying stake requirements — always check whether “real-money” stakes are required.
Crediting timelines and dispute resolution
Most promotions explicitly state crediting timeframes: e.g., Betfred leaderboards and daily prize pools credited within 48 hours; mr.play Winterfest prizes credited by a stated time; Pragmatic Drops & Wins bonuses and free-spin winnings paid within 72 hours. In case of disputes the relevant operator’s decisions are final per their Terms & Conditions. If technical delays occur, operators typically allow an extended timeframe (e.g., up to 3 working days for leaderboards in Betfred terms).
Eligibility, verification & geographic limits
Most promotions shown are explicitly for customers registered and verified in the relevant jurisdiction (commonly UK customers where stated). Age limits are standard — participants must be 18+ (or the legal age in the relevant jurisdiction). Check the promotion’s Significant Conditions for exact eligibility and any local exclusion.
Responsible gambling
Gambling can be addictive. Both operators provide Safer Gambling resources and tools (self-exclusion, deposit limits, session reminders, reality checks). If you have concerns, contact the operator’s help centre and consider support organisations such as GamCare (UK) or equivalent local services. Always play within limits you can afford and view promotions as a way to add value rather than a guaranteed path to profit.
Practical checklist before you opt in or play
- Confirm you meet eligibility (age, country, verification, deposit method).
- Read the promotion’s Significant Conditions and the operator’s Bonus Policy / T&C to verify what counts (real-money only? excluded games?).
- Note any opt-in requirement and whether it must be made before staking.
- Check minimum qualification stakes and whether play with bonus funds or free spins is excluded.
- Be aware of expiry windows for credited bonuses/free spins and any wagering rules on winnings (some promotions may have no wagering; others will).
- Record relevant dates and times (start/end/crediting deadlines) to avoid losing rewards.
- For network supplier promotions (Pragmatic, Playtech) remember that prize mechanics (e.g., multiplier payout caps) are set by the supplier and can affect actual payouts.
