What gets a spin thrown out

10bet’s October Heat is a real-cash EGT Digital leaderboard, not a free-spin drop. Here is how the R3 million is split, and why a small winning spin can outscore a bigger stake.

What you are playing for

EGT Digital is running the network from the first minute of October through to 23:59 on the 31st. On 10bet, the full pool is R3 million in cash. That is not one giant pot.

Four weekly boards of R500,000 each
A separate final leaderboard of R1 million
First on that final board takes R135,000
100 paid places on every weekly board

The R135,000 is not the weekly top prize. Each week the winner takes R65,000. The bigger cheque sits on the month-end board.

How to get on the board

You only score with a verified 10bet account. If you are opening one for this, use the 10bet promo code SAGAMES at sign-up, and the welcome bonus comes through as an extra bankroll before you touch the reels. Treat that bonus as runway. Points ignore bonus funds.

Account must be active and verified
Minimum stake is R2 on a participating game
If that game has no R2 button, the next stake up qualifies
Only real-money bets inside the relevant week count
Cancelled, void or bonus-funded spins do not score
Each player gets a personal Tournament ID for the leaderboard

How the points work

Every winning spin on a participating game adds points with one formula: (winnings ÷ bet) × 100. Losing spins add nothing.

That changes how you play. The multiplier climbs the board, not the size of the stake.

Stake	Win	Points
R2	R40	2,000
R10	R40	400
R2	R10	500
R5	R100	2,000

Stake Win Points
R2 R40 2,000
R10 R40 400
R2 R10 500
R5 R100 2,000
A small bet that pays out well is better than a larger bet with the same payout. Winning spins are still good because each one adds points.

The four weeks are not equal

Each weekly board pays 100 places and closes on its own. You'll get your prizes within 72 hours after the board finishes. You can only win one prize per tournament. This means winning a weekly cash prize won't stop you from winning on the final board.
