Pro football is back and XBet has football fans covered with its annual Survivor Contest. Per its website, the XBet $5K Survivor Contest begins week one of the 2024 NFL regular season. Moreover, each week, contestants must select one team to win their game outright, point spreads are irrelevant. If the selected team wins, the entry remains alive and the contestant selects a team for the following week which is similar to most “survivor-style” contests. However, if the selected team loses or ties, the contestant entry is eliminated. As you also might have guessed, once a team is selected for a week, that team is not available for selection for the remainder of the contest and the contestant that selects winning teams the longest, without selecting a losing team, is the $5K Survivor Contest winner.
In this report, SBS will be going over what to look for from the latest gaming news coming from XBet along with some more updated notes and information coming from the site.
Per its site, the contest ends on Week 18 of the 2024 NFL season, or when only one contestant is remaining; whichever comes first. In other words, if four contestants remain in Week 14 and three contestants select losing teams, the remaining contestant is declared the winner. Additionally, if the contest ends with no survivors, the contestants with live entries heading into the final week of the contest will split the $5,000 prize. In this case, the example given on the site is if two contestants remain in Week 14 and both select losing teams, those contestants will split the prize pool. If multiple contestants remain alive after Week 18, they will split the $5,000 evenly.
The site also mentions that if a game is canceled or postponed for any reason and the game is not played before the following Wednesday, both teams scheduled to play in that game will be graded as losers. If you selected either of those teams you will be eliminated from the contest; however, your buy-in will be refunded. Of course, XBet also reserves the right to modify this contest at any time.
If you are an eligible customer and would like to register, all contestants must have a valid XBet account. The entry fee for the XBet $5K Survivor Contest is $10 according to its website. You may purchase as many as 50 entries and funds will be deducted directly from your XBet account. Additionally, free entries are included in the total number of entries you may have. As an example, say you had 49 paid entries, plus one free entry, you would then have a maximum of 50 entries. If you qualify to receive a Free Entry, you can still purchase additional entries so long as you do not exceed the maximum of 10 entries per player. Also, all purchases are final and there are no refunds, so you should double-check, at least XBet says to, your purchase before you confirm the transaction.
Entries can only be purchased with real cash funds, which are immediately deducted from the contestant’s account balance at the time of purchase. Also, bonus funds of any kind, including Bonus Bets, cannot be used to purchase entries. Please review the number of entries selected before submitting your purchase and the contest closes on Monday, September 9, 2024, at 8:15 PM ET. Once you have correctly entered your Username and Password, you will be prompted to create a contest nickname; unless you already have one and then you will be identified by this nickname in the Survivor Contest and other contests, not by your username.
Note on the contest rules page, to make your weekly pick, load the appropriate contest entry, and check the box of the team you wish to select. Each game locks five minutes before its associated kick-off time. Once a pick is made, the selection may be changed up until the game locks. At this time, the selection is confirmed and may not be changed. Contestants must submit picks for the current contest week before 8:15 PM ET on Monday night. Additionally, if a contestant does select a team by this time, the entry will be graded as a loss and eliminated from the contest. Finally, if you still have additional entries open, keep repeating the procedure until you have submitted your picks for each one.
