At MyWinners, Contests give you a new way to play. Instead of betting on a single race, you compete against other players by making selections across multiple races or events. Entries are pooled together, and the best-performing picks share the prize money. Contests are powered by the same pari-mutuel system that drives our live racing, ensuring fairness, transparency, and compliance with US betting regulations.
What Are Contests?
Contests at MyWinners let you compete directly against other players instead of betting on a single race. You’ll make selections across a series of races or events, and your entry is ranked against others based on performance. Each contest has a fixed entry fee, and all fees go into a shared prize pool.
The format uses a pari-mutuel model — meaning all entries contribute to the prize pool, and payouts are determined by real race outcomes. No random number generators, no house odds — just skill, strategy, and shared competition.
Some games will be real money and some will be free play, with prizes provided by MyWinners.
Why Play Contests?
Contests are designed for players who enjoy the strategy and excitement of racing, but want to test their skill against real competitors:
Shared Prize Pools – All entry fees combine into one pool, so the more players who enter, the bigger the potential rewards.
Skill Over Luck – Everyone plays under the same conditions; your picks and timing determine your success.
Community Competition – You’re not playing against the house — you’re racing against other MyWinners players.
Consistent Schedule – Contests run regularly, giving you predictable opportunities to play and compete.
