"As a real-money tournament the weekly Cash Is King tournament is the perfect practice grounds for the high-end bankroll contests," stated Richard Nilsen, tournament director and 17x NHC qualifier. “In addition to competing for the huge grand prize, you keep your winnings each week and play without incurring any high contest takeout.”

Cash is King XIII - The Best Real Money Contest exclusively at BetPTC.com

Please read the rules carefully.  Any questions should be directed to rich.nilsen @ betptc.com

The BetPTC real-money tournament is back.  Cash is King XIII runs from Saturday, May 8 until early October, with a championship finals October 9-10, 2021.   Jump in and play at any time!  For only a one-time $75 entry fee you can play all year long!

This is a real-money contest so, in addition to any prizes, you keep whatever you win.  But that's not all.  In a tournament environment where takeouts can go as high as 30% or even more, this is the best value in the country!

Why Cash is King? First of all, it’s fun and challenging. Plus, our contest at BetPTC.com takes away the inequities of traditional handicapping tournaments and lets you play how you want, on the tracks you want, with a very small, minimum amount of wagering.

Unlike many other tournaments, it doesn't matter if you're a big bettor or a small bettor. Everyone has an equal chance to win the prizes in the one-of-a-kind Cash Is King contest at BetPTC.com.  If you are wagering on the horses on the weekends, you should be participating!

To qualify for contest scoring each Saturday, you must wager a minimum of $200 in contest wagering. Play your favorite tracks and make your favorite wagers, all using a bankroll that fits your budget. There are no mandatory tracks and no specific bets required. The contest is scored on your return on investment (ROI), not on how much you wager.   

WHY PLAY THIS CONTEST? 

There’s no doubt … traditional handicapping tournaments aren't for everyone. If the contest is filled with mandatory races at tracks you don't normally play, it slants the playing field toward others in the contest who play those circuits.

Many of the real-money, big bankroll tournaments require large minimum wagering thresholds or entry fees that price most players out.  In addition, they often encourage players to go “all-in” which many players simply do not have the disposition to do.

It doesn’t have to be that way.  You can parlay a top finish in BetPTC’s Cash Is King XIII into a major score on Breeders’ Cup day!  It doesn’t get any better than that.

RULES & PRIZES

Earn Leaderboard points to qualify to compete in the October 9-10 Finals of Cash Is King XIII.  We anticipate a small group of players competing in the Finals where a full berth to the BREEDERS’ CUP BETTING CHALLENGE (BCBC) will be given away plus thousands in other cash prizes!

How is scoring calculated?

This is an R.O.I. (Return on Investment) based contest that utilizes your regular wagering during the course of the day.  Prizes are based on ROI on the players' accounts. ROI is calculated by dividing wagering returns by the amount wagered. BetPTC rewards are not included in the calculation. For example, a player makes $2,000 in contest-designated wagers on a Saturday and his or her return is $3,000.  The calculation for that Saturday is as follows: $3000/$2000 -1 = 50% ROI.

Contest Eligibility & Requirements

 Customers who agree to these rules and wish to participate must complete the following two steps:

 1) Register for the contest by completing the required registration form which allows for $75 to be deducted from your wagering account.  The Registration Form can be found here.  Funds will be manually deducted from your BetPTC account and could take up to 48 hours.  Please be sure to retain enough funds in your account for the withdrawal.

 2) Wager $200 or more on any of the Saturdays during the contest dates (May 8 – October 2, 2021), using a BetPTC.com wagering account in good standing.  Wagers can only be made online through the regular BetPTC wagering interface that allows for wagers to be designated as “contest bets.”

 Employees and vendors of BetPTC.com and their immediate families are not eligible.

 At any time new players can join the contest by paying the entry fee and participating in the qualifying weekly feeders.

How to Play

Wagers can be only be made online through the contest platform at BetPTC.com.  Players must check the box that indicates that they want the wager(s) included in their contest bets for the day.

Contestants can verify that a wager was properly designated as a contest bet by clicking on ‘Account Activity’ or by the ‘c’ indicator under the ‘Sent Bets’ tab.  It is the players’ responsibility to make sure that the wagers they want included in the contest are designated appropriately.

Wagers can be made on any type of bet that BetPTC accepts for all tracks.

Wagers can be made on any tracks of the player's choice on any of the Saturdays during the contest date range. To qualify for contest play on a given Saturday, registered members must wager a minimum of $200 in contest bets during the course of the day. There is no maximum limit to how much can be wagered. 

Wagers for each Saturday begin with the racing day on Saturday late morning.  Wagers made late on Friday night past Midnight ET will NOT count towards Saturday's scoring. And wagers made on Saturday racing that occur AFTER Midnight ET will count towards Saturday's scoring.

 Weekly Prizes and the Championship Prizes are based on ROI on the players' accounts.

 Weekly and Annual Leaderboards will be displayed via a link on the homepage at www.betptc.com

Contest Dates:

Every Saturday, May 8 – October 2, 2021.

How to Play & Win

Every Saturday that you participate, meet the minimum contest wagering requirement and finish with an ROI between 0.35 and 1.99 you receive 1 point in the Leaderboard contest.  An ROI of 2.00 or greater will earn you 3 points in the Leaderboard contest.  If you are the weekly 1^st place finisher based on ROI, you will receive 5 points in the Leaderboard contest.

Wagering Rules for Finals

Cash Is King XIII Championship Finals on October 9-10, 2021.

 Finalists must wager $250 or more in contest wagers over each day of the October 9-10, 2021 weekend to be eligible for any of the prizes.

Tiebreakers for Prizes:

 If there is a tie for the weekly prize, the tie will go to the player who wagered the most money on that Saturday.  If that still does not break the tie, then the player who cashed on the most individual bets will win the tie.  If that still does not break the tie, both players will earn a spot into the Finals.

Ties for the October championship finals' prizes will be broken based on the player who participated in the most contest Saturdays throughout the year. 

If this does not break the tie, the tie will be broken based on which player wagered the most amount of money over the course of the Finals' weekend. If that still does not break the tie, a playoff date will be chosen for the two players to compete for the championship prize.
