Gambling.com Arena Official Rules · Effective September 2026

The competition, stated plainly.

These rules govern every pool Gambling.com Arena runs; the version published here applies to the rounds in progress. They sit alongside the Terms of Service, and where they conflict, these rules govern the mechanics.

1. Free to enter

No purchase is necessary to enter or win, and a purchase does not improve your chances. Entry to every week is free for every registered player of Gambling.com Arena. Nothing is paid, staked or wagered.

2. Eligibility

Open to registered players aged 18 or over, except where entry would be prohibited by law. Void where prohibited. One account per person; play is personal and non-transferable.

3. How a round works

Every entry in a round starts on the same balance of 1,000 points. The weekly pool runs Monday to Sunday night; a Daily or Hourly pool runs on the clock shown on its card. The balance is a score for ranking with no cash value, and it does not carry over between rounds.

To be eligible for a paid place you must have played at least 3 of the round's formats. Play stops when the round's clock ends; nothing played after the close counts.

4. Winning

Winners are the eligible entries with the highest finishing balances when the round closes, as recorded by the settlement system. Skill determines outcomes: every game round runs on a server seed committed before play and revealed after, and can be checked from the round itself. No outcome can be bought.

If two eligible entries finish on exactly the same balance, the prizes for the affected places are combined and shared equally between them.

5. Prizes

The prize pot for the week, and how it is split across the top 3 places, is displayed before the week closes. Prizes are funded by Gambling.com Arena, never by players.

Prizes are paid in GBP by Gambling.com Arena, normally within 7 days of settlement, to the details on the winner's profile.

6. Fair play and disqualification

Bots, automation, collusion, multi-accounting and exploitation of bugs are prohibited. Gambling.com Arena may disqualify entries, withhold prizes and suspend accounts that breach these rules or the Terms of Service, and may void any round affected by a technical fault or integrity issue.

7. General

Leaderboards display each player's chosen display name and results. These rules sit alongside the Terms of Service; where they conflict, these rules govern the competition mechanics. Gambling.com Arena may amend these rules for future rounds; changes never apply to a round already in progress.
