Bet365 World Cup Tournament Challenge
The 2026 World Cup is nearly upon us, and Bet365 is here with one of the best new World Cup betting promos of any sportsbook.

Bet365 will host leaderboards and tally up scores on three match days during pool play, a fourth for the round of 32, and a final payout for the final. That means you have five chances to earn cash prizes from Bet365!
While it's not realistic to expect to land on the top of Bet365's leaderboard for all five payouts to net the max winnings of $250,000, this free-to-play game poses little to no risk for users and gives them the chance to win cash prizes.
If you've played Bet365's Tournament Challenge games in the past, there's a new feature for their World Cup '26 challenge that you might not be familiar with: social leaderboards! In addition to a main leaderboard for points leaders throughout the US, users have the option to create their own social groups and share codes with friends to make the challenge more fun and personalized.
