A contestant using the alias DSR90-1 won the $1 million top prize in Circa Sports Million, in which contestants paid $1,000 per entry and make five NFL picks a week against the contest spread. DSR90-1 went 4-1 in Week 17 with wins on the Steelers 8.5, Ravens -12 and Buccaneers -7 in the early games Sunday and Texans 7.5 in the afternoon games. The inaugural Circa Sports Million football sports betting contest was quite the exciting ride. With a prize pool of $1,875,000 and a $1,000 buy-in, the 10 full season winners and 4 quarter MVP winners certainly earned their wins. — Circa Sports delivers for gamblers. Circa Sports is launching as a sportsbook operator for both.
Circa Sports is following up its wildly popular football contest with two new contests and more prizes. The Circa Sports Million contest returns with $3 million dollars in prizes. The downtown Las Vegas sportsbook operator is also introducing its first Circa Survivor Contest with a winner-take-all $1 million prize.
Last season, Circa Sports Million had 1,875 entries. There was so much interest in the contest last football season that TheLines even dedicated a second weekly podcast just for picks each week. This year there could be even more entries thanks to more guaranteed prizes.
Circa Sports shared a video of a fun brainstorming session on how they can top last year’s Circa Sports Million Contest.

Circa Sports Survivor Contest
This is the first year for the Circa Sports Survivor contest. The winner-take-all contest will pay at least $1,000,000. If the winning participant has the correct answer each week they will take home an extra $1,000,000. There’s potential that the winner of the Circa Sports Survivor contest can take home $2,000,000 with a perfect season.
This contest simply involves picking the straight-up (no point spread) winner of one (1) game each week. The season will be broken into 18 weeks for this contest. There will be 17 weeks of NFL football plus a bonus week that includes only the games on Thanksgiving Day.
Teams may only be selected once during the season. Teams cannot be chosen a second time for the contest. This is something to keep in mind when selecting games before Thanksgiving Week. If all six (6) teams playing are already chosen, the contestant will not be able to make a selection for this extra week.
The entry fee for Circa Sports Survivor contest is $1,000. Each contestant may have up to five (5) entries. There’s no rake for this contest and all money from the entries will go into the prize pool. It’s possible the winner of the Circa Sports Survivor contest can home even more than the guaranteed prize money.
Similar to Circa Sports Millions, contestants must register in person. Picks for the Circa Sports Survivor may also be submitted by a friend or proxy service located in the state of Nevada.

- Prize Structure:
- The prize pool will consist of a guaranteed $3 million in total.

- Should the number of entries total more than 3,000, all additional entry fees will be split equally between each of the four 'Quarter MVP' 1st Place prizes.
- Tiebreaking rules will only be applied to determine the overall season-long 1st Place winner. In the event of a tie for 1st Place, the winner will be determined based on the contestant that accumulated the most Contest points during the final five (5) weeks of the regular season. If total points accumulated during the final five (5) weeks are equal, then the tiebreaker will revert to the contestant that has accumulated the most contest points during Weeks 9-12. If total points accumulated during Weeks 9-12 are equal, then the tiebreaker will revert to the contestant that has accumulated the most Contest points during Weeks 5-8. If total points accumulated during Weeks 5-8 are equal, then the tiebreaker will revert to the contestant that has accumulated the most Contest points during Weeks 1-4.

- There is a $1,000 fee per entry. All entries are non-refundable unless the Contest is canceled under Rule 18. Entry fees may be paid via cash, Golden Gate Hotel & Casino gaming chips, the D Las Vegas gaming chips, or credit cards. Entries paid via credit card will be subject to a credit card processing fee.
- All entrants and proxies must be at least 21 years of age to participate. Contestants must provide valid government picture identification prior to entry. All submitted entries are subject to potential 3rd party verification. All entrants must also be a current member of 'Club One'. The Club One card is free and available at the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino/the D Las Vegas Players' Clubs or sportsbooks.
- Contestants may purchase a maximum of five (5) entries per person. Purchasing more than five (5) entries will result in disqualification from the Contest without refund. Contestants who have multiple entries earning prizes will be paid for each entry's corresponding prize dollar amount.
- Circa Sports™ reserves the right to reject any submitted alias for any reason at any time. If Circa Sports decides to change an alias after the sign-up process is completed, Circa Sports will make a reasonable effort to contact the entrant and give an opportunity to provide an acceptable alias. In the event no acceptable alias can be provided, the Contest ID number will be the official name of the entry, and that ID number will be displayed in all official standings and/or prize documents.
- Payment of entry fees, which must accompany registration for the Contest, begins at both the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino and the D Las Vegas at 8:00 AM on March 6, 2020. Contest registration and Entry payment paperwork will no longer be accepted after 2:00 PM on Saturday, September 12, 2020.
- The Contest is won by being the last remaining contestant with a correct selection during the NFL season. Losing weekly selections will cause an entry to be eliminated from the Contest. Weekly selections will be made on teams to win without the use of a point spread. Entrants may only pick each professional football team one (1) time throughout the duration of the Contest (example: an entrant selects Team A to win during Contest Week 1 of the professional football season. Team A will no longer be available for selection for the duration of the Contest).
- Weekly selections shall be graded as a loss if the selected team ends their game in a tie.
- There will be up to 18 selections made by each entry for this Contest. For Contest purposes, Thanksgiving Day (November 26, 2020) will be its own independent 'Contest Week'. The other 17 'Contest Weeks' will otherwise correspond with the NFL regular season schedule.
- Entries that have previously selected all 6 Thanksgiving Day teams and are therefore unable to select any of the teams playing on Thanksgiving Day will be eliminated at the conclusion of the Thanksgiving Day 'Contest Week'.
- Entrants with multiple entries may make contradictory selections across their multiple selections. Each entry will be treated as an independent entity for all selections and the determination of prizes.
- Solely for Contest purposes, all games are 'action' despite any change in a game's location. If a game deviates from its originally scheduled time and location, the game must be completed by 1:59 AM on Tuesday of the Contest Week in order for it to be applied towards Contest standings. Games that are not completed within the 'Contest Week' will be graded a loss for the Contest and the entry will be eliminated. A 'Contest Week' shall mean seven (7) consecutive calendar days starting on Tuesday at 2:00 AM and ending on the following Tuesday at 1:59 AM, with the exception of the Contest Week that includes Thanksgiving Day and the Contest Week that immediately follows. The Contest Week that includes Thanksgiving Day will begin at 2:00 AM on Tuesday, November 24, 2020 and end at 1:59 AM on Friday, November 27, 2020. The Contest Week that immediately follows will begin at 2:00 AM on Friday, November 27, 2020 and end at 1:59 AM on Tuesday, December 1.
- The selection window will begin at 10:00 AM on Tuesday of each Contest Week except for the Contest Week immediately following Thanksgiving Day. That Contest Week's selection window will begin at 10:00 AM on Friday, November 27, 2020. The deadline for selections is 3:00 PM on Saturday of each Contest Week except for the Contest Week that includes Thanksgiving Day. That Contest Week's selection deadline is 10:00 PM on Wednesday, November 25. Attempts to make selections after these Contest Week selection deadlines will not be accepted. Before a Contest winner is determined, any entry of the Contest that does not make a selection for a Contest Week prior to that Contest Week's deadline will be eliminated.
- Each contestant may authorize up to three (3) proxies to submit their weekly selections. Proxies must be registered in person at the casino and must satisfy the same ID requirements under Rule 2. Circa Sports does not officially endorse or recommend any proxy or proxy service and shall not be involved in any proxy agreement under any circumstance. Furthermore, all contestants assume sole liability of submitting their weekly selections, whether a proxy is registered or not. Circa Sports will under no circumstance mediate between any contestant and any proxy.
- Contestants and proxies can submit weekly selections at any Circa Sports location during each selection period (10:00 AM Tuesday-3:00 PM Saturday). Selections may be made via a Circa Sports betting window (requires the use of the Circa Sports Contest card), a Circa Sports kiosk (requires the use of the Circa Sports Contest card), or the Circa Sports mobile app (by logging into the Circa Sports mobile and entering their Circa Sports Contest card ID and password). Contestants/proxies must be within the geographic boundary of the State of Nevada to make mobile selections via the Circa Sports mobile app. Circa Sports is not responsible for any technical difficulties, malfunctions, or any other unforeseen issues regarding use of the Circa Sports mobile app platform. Technical malfunctions to the Circa Sports mobile app will not change the selections deadline under any circumstances.

- Circa Sports will provide each entrant with a receipt once a selection has been made. Selection receipts at Circa Sports kiosks and betting windows will be a physical ticket reflecting the selections made, and such receipts represent the official entry of record for the contestant's weekly selections. Receipts on the Circa Sports mobile app will be in the form of a digital confirmation screen (complete with unique identifying confirmation code) reflecting selections made, and such receipts represent the official entry of record for the contestant's weekly selections. Contestants are encouraged to screenshot the confirmation screen when it appears just after selection submission through the app. No other documents provided by Circa Sports shall be considered official record of weekly selections.
- Contestants may only submit weekly selections once per week per Contest entry, unless a one-time exception is granted by Circa Sports management in its sole and absolute discretion. Contestants/proxies cannot request voids or changes to weekly selections after the 3:00 PM Saturday deadline or after the Contestant's selected game has begun. Weekly Contest selections can only be voided at either the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino of the D Las Vegas sportsbooks with the approval of Circa Sports management in its sole and absolute discretion.
