Bet365 Tournament Challenge UEFA Champions League: Win Up to $250k!
Bet365 Tournament Challenge: UEFA Champions League
To celebrate the third year of their partnership with UEFA Champions League, Bet365 is offering their popular Tournament Challenge, a free-to-play game for users to make picks on UEFA Champions League matches for a chance to win cash prizes and Bonus Bets.
The tournament may have already begun, but you can still make your picks on each match day. A match day is usually a two-day period in which every team plays a match, so you make picks for both days to make up one match day. The top five winners on each match day take home prizes, and at the end of the Knockout Phase, the top 10,000 scorers will at least win $1 in Bonus Bets, with the prizes increasing gradually up to $50,000 in cash for the winner. You can find a full table of prizes below on this page.
Here's how to play Bet365's UEFA Champions League Tournament Challenge for free:
- Log in to the Bet365 app
- Navigate to Tournament Challenge under "Soccer - Free Games"
- Make your UEFA Champions League selections
- Get awarded points dependent on the amount of correct selections made
- Win cash prizes based on your standings on the leaderboard
- Prizes awarded to those who place on the leaderboard each match day and overall
- Match day leaderboards will be offered for Match day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, Knockout phase play-offs (Leg 1 and 2 combined) & the Round of 16 (Leg 1 and 2 combined)

Match Day Winners
The first way to win cash prizes from Bet365's UEFA Champions League Tournament Challenge is by placing on the Match Day Table. A match day is technically a two-day period in which each remaining team plays a game, whether in the League Phase or Knockout Phase tournament.
Here are the cash prizes and Bonus Bets awarded to the top five Tournament Challenge players each match day.
Payouts for the Matchday leaderboards are processed after the relevant League Phase Matchday (Matchdays 1-8), Knockout phase play-off round and Round of 16 are complete.
Overall Winners
Bet365 is awarding potentially every Tournament Challenge with at least $1 in Bonus Bets — there's a prize for each of the top 10,000 players on the Overall Table. The 1st-place prize is $50,000 cash to the top overall player, but users can earn as much as $25 in Bonus Bets for simply finishing in the top 500 on the Overall Table.
Here's the prize associated with each position on the Overall Table:
The Overall leaderboard will be processed once the final game of the tournament is complete.
Let's be honest: You aren't going to win $250,000 by playing Bet365's UEFA Champions League Tournament Challenge. Why not? In order to win $250k, you would need to place first among all Tournament Challenge players on every single matchday. There are 10 matchdays, so you'd earn a total of $200,000 if you placed first every matchday; you'd also finish in first place overall after winning every matchday, which would net you another $50,000 from the overall leaderboard.
My advice? It's a free-to-play game, so you won't lose money unless you actually place a bet with your picks, which you are not required to do. This is still a great promotion because the number of players who earn a prize is enormous, even if it's a small prize for the lowest finishers.
If you're lucky enough to end up on a matchday leaderboard, the prize will reward you for the time you've put into researching your picks. If you don't win, you don't lose — but you aren't going to win $250k.
