mr.play — Pragmatic Play Drops & Wins (£7,350,000 in prizes)

Quick summary

Pragmatic Play’s Drops & Wins network promotion runs across selected Pragmatic Play slots. It combines Daily Tournaments (cash prizes) and Weekly Wheel Drops (multipliers, instant bonuses and free spins). The overall advertised prize pool is £7,350,000 across the campaign.

Key facts & dates

  • Promotion period: 19.11.2025 – 04.03.2026.
  • Total prize pool (advertised): £7,350,000 (subject to variation due to multiplier mechanics).
  • Structure: 105 Daily Tournaments (one per day) and 15 Weekly Wheel Drops running in parallel.

Daily Tournaments (high-level)

  • Daily prize pool: £20,000 per day shared across 500 cash prizes; daily top prize £3,000.
  • Players must opt in and place qualifying bets on participating Pragmatic Play slots each day.
  • Minimum qualifying bet: £0.15.
  • Only the first 5,000 qualifying bets per day are eligible and counted towards that day’s tournament.
  • Leaderboard rankings are based on the sum of win multipliers (win ÷ stake) and update in real time.

Weekly Wheel Drops (high-level)

  • Weekly prize pool: £350,000 per week across up to 47,000 prizes.
  • Players collect 3 wheel pieces during real-money play to spin the Weekly Wheel and receive prizes such as multipliers (up to 100,000×), Instant Bonuses (entry to bonus features) and Free Spins.
  • No minimum bet is required to collect wheel pieces; pieces are randomly triggered on qualifying real-money bets.
  • Players may win up to 2 wheel prizes per week.
  • Wheel Drops run weekly from Wednesday 19:01 CET/CEST to the next Wednesday 18:59 CET/CEST.

Mechanics & rounding

  • Daily tournament points are the sum of win multipliers; multipliers with decimals above 0.5 are rounded up to the next whole number; those under 0.5 are rounded down to zero.
  • If two or more players finish with the same leaderboard points, the player who achieved the score first receives the higher prize.
  • Multipliers in Wheel Drops are capped for payout calculations at a bet level of £1 (or currency equivalent) — i.e., if you won a 10,000× multiplier on a bet higher than the cap, the payout calculation may use the £1-equivalent cap for payout purposes.

Free Spins and Instant Bonuses

  • Free Spins are typically awarded at the bet amount used to win the prize; if bet stake exceeds £1, Free Spins and Instant Bonuses will be awarded at the £1 value (or currency equivalent / next higher available bet amount) for practical payout calculations.
  • Free Spins and Instant Bonuses must be claimed and used within 7 days of being awarded.
  • Once awarded, Free Spins and Instant Bonus winnings have no wagering requirements. Winnings will be paid out within 72 hours.
  • Pragmatic Play may change the games used for Instant Bonuses every four weeks at its discretion.

General common terms and important operational notes (applies across promotions)

Prize crediting and timing

  • Most cash prizes are credited to the player’s cash balance within a stated window (often within 48 hours, sometimes up to 72 hours or up to 3 working days where specified).
  • Free Spins and other non-cash awards typically have expiry windows (commonly 7 days) and must be claimed/accepted in the operator’s UI within the stated window.

Wagering requirements & convertible value

  • Where the promotion text explicitly states that Free Spin winnings have no wagering requirements, winnings are credited as cash once spins are used. Where a wagering requirement is not stated explicitly, assume operator T&Cs apply and check the full terms.
  • Free Spins themselves are usually issued with an in-game monetary value per spin (e.g. £0.05, £0.10, £0.20) — wins from those spins may be credited differently by each operator (commonly to cash balance after play).

Eligibility and identity checks

  • All offers are limited to verified, eligible customers only (18+). Identity verification (KYC) and additional checks may be required before awarding bonuses/prizes.
  • Operator-specific deposit method restrictions are common (e.g. debit cards only, no e-wallets, no prepaid cards) — check the promotion Significant Conditions.

Fraud, abuse & operator discretion

  • Operators reserve the right to disqualify players for suspected fraud, bonus abuse, multiple-accounting, use of VPNs, collusion or other prohibited behaviour.
  • Operators may limit prizes to one per household/IP/device and may impose caps on winnings from network promotions across brands operated by the same group.
  • Operators have the right to modify or withdraw promotions at any time, and to restrict participation for regulatory, legal or operational reasons.

Combining promotions

Many promotions explicitly state that they cannot be used in conjunction with other offers. Before attempting to use multiple bonuses concurrently, check the precise terms for incompatibilities (for example Early Payout cannot be combined with Cash Out; boosted odds often exclude free bets).

Responsible gambling

All promotions include reminders to gamble responsibly. If you are concerned about your gambling, use the operator’s self-exclusion, deposit limits and time-out tools and seek help via recognised support organisations.


How to approach these promotions practically (player checklist)

  • Read the full Terms & Conditions for each promotion on the operator’s promotion page before opting in.
  • Confirm eligibility: age, residency, deposit method and account verification status.
  • Note opt-in requirements and qualifying stake amounts; keep receipts/screenshots if you plan to dispute qualification.
  • Check qualifying games lists and minimum bet stakes (many tournaments require min stakes such as £0.10 or £0.15 and may cap counted bets per day/session).
  • Track expiry windows for Free Spins and claim promptly when credited.
  • Avoid using bonus funds or free spins to meet qualifying stake requirements unless explicitly allowed.

Final reminder: this review summarizes the promotions as presented in the supplied material. Operators publish the definitive promotion terms on their websites and are the final authority on eligibility, interpretation and prize payments. Always consult the operator’s full T&Cs, Bonus Policy and Safer Gambling pages before participating.
