Here are a couple of live casino races presently underway that are really worth considering.
What’s a live casino race? Simple. It’s a straight turnover (wager, bet volume, total stake amount…whatever you want to call it) tournament in which prizes, usually cash or bonuses but sometimes other prizes, are awarded to the highest staking players for a specified period.
They seem to have become pretty popular at a bunch of live casinos who now run them on a semi-regular basis.
The 2 races below are both very generous in terms of the prizes they offer, and players’ chances of getting a piece of them!
1. Win one of 14 Monaco FI GP VIP trips up for grabs
This race is on at Paddy Power’s newly launched live casino. Instead of cash, winners get a prize. Nice one too.
Quite fittingly, if you are one of the 14 winners of this race, you get to go to a very famous race…the Monaco F1 Grand Prix. Each of the 14 winners get:
- Return flights to Nice
- Helicopter transfers from Nice to Moanco
- Pre and Post race hospitality
- The best possible views of the world’s most glamorous F1 race
This race ends 23:59 on 8th May…that’s tonight!
Doesn’t leave you much time to accumulate turnover points BUT, they’ve set this one up to cater to the high rollers and the rest of us by awarding the 14 prize winner as follows:
- 4 will to the top wagering players (you’ve missed this boat, unless you’re Terry Watababe or the like);
- 10 will be awarded in a random prize draw, with all players wagering £/€50 or more before tonight’s deadline in the draw.
Bottom line…place £/€50 in chips over the live tables at Paddies in the next 24 hours or so and whether you win or lose cash, you’re in with a good chance for the prize.
Don’t forget you’ll need to opt-in (they”ll tell you how) for your bets to count!
2. Betfair £20,000 live casino race
This race that is currently underway at Betfair is more you vanilla style race…the more you wager the bigger your prize and prizes are paid as cash bonuses.
The attraction with this particular race is that is pays a lot (£20,000 total) and pays deep (top 250 players).
Prizes are as follows:
| Place | Bonus Prizes |
| 1st, 2nd and 3rd | £1,500 |
| 4th to 6th | £900 |
| 7th to 9th | £700 |
| 10th to 15th | £500 |
